We’ve already had snow and a mini polar vortex, which is weird but enhanced the Frosty-making mood. Mother Nature is sending us a message about the volatility of our climate these days, although my snarky self blames Disney for promoting Frozen 2 too much. 😉 Last year I only had one drummer frosty left during […]
Here are some of the ‘leftovers’ I have in stock. They won’t arrive in time for Christmas if you want them shipped, but I am happy to send them off to new homes. The Santa Angel almost left, but then a Chicago Flag won instead… The top one (red) is claimed, but the other 3 […]
Small Business Saturday is coming around again, and I have delivered ornaments to a few Chicagoland places. It is always lovely to have my ornaments in various retail locations so you can shop even when i don’t have an art fair. Before their trip to Show of Hands I delivered new earrings to Sacred Art […]
Last week I browsed the Evanston Art Center’s 12th Annual Winter Arts & Crafts EXPO at the Evanston Art Center. It is a vibrant exhibit of local artists who have hand-crafted holiday gifts for you and your family. Numerous fiber arts promise to keep you and your loved ones warm, while cheering the spirit with […]
I’m busy preparing for the Bucktown Holiday Fair this coming weekend. The fun begins at noon and goes until 5 p.m. December 13 and 14. More than 100 artists will exhibit and I enjoyed the creativity last year’s show featured. There is a silent auction, a raffle, and delicious food and drink will be offered. […]
Holiday season is official now, and I am busy making custom orders. I am also replenishing the angel and frosty supplies of ornaments that found new homes Thanksgiving week. My inventory numbers broke the 100 mark recently. On Friday I will have my entire inventory at the ADA Holiday Fair from 10 a.m. to 2 […]
It’s a bit early for Advent, but I am having a blast caroling and making holiday ornaments for December. Making snowmen has taught me all the lyrics to Frosty the Snowman. Meanwhile angelic songs are humming in my brain as well. ’Tis the season to be jolly, two months ahead of schedule. Snow arrived early, […]
After Saturday’s fair I swung by Aurora Rose Boutique to stock up some Holiday inventory. The Network of Entrepreneurial Women is stopping by at 2 p.m. today for its combined November gathering so I wanted to give our attendees some pieces to peruse for our pre-holiday shopping spree. Kim had asked me about scarf pendants […]
I’m preparing for the Custer Street Fair, my first big fair booth ever. I’ll be sharing a tent with the talented Jason McPhillips, who will have his wonderful paintings on hand. It is quite the expansion from the tray-sized pop-ups I’ve been doing, and also my first outdoor show. Since the pendants will get hot […]
