I’ve been creating new pieces that aren’t up on Etsy, because as of today they are available for sale in a boutique. Yesterday I drove into Lemont, Illinois for the first time, which was a revelation. Just a short ride off I-55, entering via exit 271 offers a lovely view of a hillside town with many […]
