September closed out with a pop-up at Ayla’s Fall Bead Bazaar. I had perused the bazaar last year and was thrilled to be one of the vendors this year. What’s not to like about being surrounded by sparkles and beauty? Last year’s Pyrite strand made it into a set. I paired it with my Desigual […]
September was a whirlwind of weekend fairs and pop-up applications. The Ravenswood ArtWalk was moved to mid-September as well, which proved to be a great idea weather wise. I had secured an indoor spot, which meant that the weather was lovely on both days. Had I been outside, the outcome would have been different, with […]
We are prepping for tomorrow’s Meet & Munch in Glen Ellyn, held in conjunction with Crain’s Small Business Week. Our ad was featured in last week’s issue, and Shannon’s Irish Pub will host us as in past years. Our last Meet & Munch at Avalon Day Spa was a blast. Several new members attended and […]
Next week is Crain’s 6th annual Small Business Week and the Network of Entrepreneurial Women is eagerly anticipating our third event in partnership with Crain’s Chicago Business. We are looking forward to an afternoon of delicious food, gentle pampering and significant inspiration and business brainstorming. The largest educational and business development event in the region […]
I am not feeling well today so there are no coherent words to write. Instead, I give you some nature photos from recent walks. You can find lots of beauty in your neighborhood. This sign at the Bristol Renaissance Faire made me chuckle (and a lavender bath is on the schedule). I love this flaming […]

It’s back to back art fair time! On Sunday, September 27, I will be setting up shop in the Highland Art Park Center, where Ayla’s Originals is hosting its Fall Bead Bazaar. I’ve perused Ayla’s Wonderful World of Beads on numerous occasions and am thrilled to be part of the vendor line-up this year. Seventeen […]
I went on a family reunion trip during which I finally got to show my wares in person to my family. One person fell in love with the purple coral bangle I had made, but wanted it in blue so I found a strand of lapis chips at Dave’s Down to Earth Rock Shop. It […]
Guess what? After two years of struggling through weather issues, I secured an indoor spot at the Ravenswood ArtWalk this year. The event has also moved to mid-September instead of the fall-ish October weekend. On Saturday September 19 and Sunday September 20, the businesses, studios and shops along Ravenswood Avenue will open their doors from […]
It was a scorching day on Saturday, but light breezes and the occasional cloud blocking the sun made the day lovely for an art fair. It was early when I set out to bring my wares to Bloomingdale. As always, Platt Hill Nursery has a plethora of fun and quirky garden accessories to peruse. The […]
