I joined the Grown*UP Girls Club this year at The Collage Cafe and I am loving it. While I have my own studio where I can create, there is something about gathering around women, being in a different space, and having someone else prescribe a project that soothes the soul and takes me out of my […]
It’s been a whirlwind of making enough angels and frosties for my pop-ups as well as the four spaces I am consigned to this holiday season. Just in time for Small Business Saturday, my ornaments are now in three Chicagoland retailers: The Collage Cafe and See Jane Sparkle in Evanston, and ChromaK8 Beautique and Sacred […]
When I had my pop-up at Chroma K8, she mentioned the need for different types of ear hooks to safely stay in her ear spools. I had ordered some clip-on loops, and those seemed to work with a trial run. However, of the three pairs one didn’t function, so I perused the Bead & Button […]
Evanston Made is a month-long celebration of the arts in Evanston designed to create opportunities for artists to engage with the community (and vice versa). Art studios, galleries, museums and businesses throughout Evanston are showing works by Evanston creatives June 3 through 30. I put on my bangles for the Opening Soiree. Opening night was packed at the […]

This gathering is Lindy’s brainchild of creating a haven for women to leave all the day-to-day behind and spend some time playing, creating and getting to know other ladies. The group meets on the […]
The SJS bazaar has closed, and Turquoise Heart Angel is ready to chill (and get some correspondence done) until St. Nick drops by. Here are the places I like to go for an oasis of calm and deliciousness. Brothers K Coffee often lifts my energy level in the morning, whether I take my mocha to […]
There’s a new cafe in town, The Collage Cafe! Lindy Stockton opened the storefront for a sneak peek during Open Studios Evanston. Since then, she has carefully curated gift items and creativity-inspiring products for adults to celebrate our inner artist. The store has a plethora of greeting cards, pendants, wall decor, candles and decorative household […]
