Last year I had a blast at the Warm Bevvy Walk in Evanston. It is a great way to explore local shops and make new friends. The 2nd Annual Evanston Warm Bevvy Walk is on Thursday, December 8 from 5 to 8 pm with my favorite businesses participating. Enjoy an evening stroll with friends and […]
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 […]
I always have a bit of a hangover after a weekend fair, and this week is no different. The Sidewalk sale was lots of fun, but setting up and tearing down two tents 6 times is a workout. Construction workers had just finished pouring cement when we started setting up but they were eager to […]
I’ve been sparkling up the studio this week to make more beaded pieces. Then I tagged all the newbies for the upcoming 3-day sale. Tomorrow I’ll be setting up in front of See Jane Sparkle for the Evanston Sidewalk Sale. I’ll have a table in front of 1312 Chicago Avenue from 10 am to 4 […]
Next week is the Evanston Sidewalk sale. Independent retailers and national chains will set up shop with specials on the sidewalks throughout downtown. I am teaming up with Sara Jane at See Jane Sparkle to scatter more sparkle into the world. I will have a table outside with newly created sparkle sets from 10 am […]

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 […]
The last day of April was marred by rain, but that did not deter shoppers from browsing See Jane Sparkle and my Trunk Show. I set up for the show in the morning, and dropped of more yarn bomb doilies next door, where drawing angel hung out for the day to support Stumble & Relish’s […]
Mother’s Day is coming up, which is the perfect time to give your mother some sparkle! On Saturday, April 30 I will have a Trunk Show at See Jane Sparkle so you can peruse my wares and accessorize them with Sara Jane’s creations. I’ve been adding some bling to my newer pendants to get into […]
This journey of solopreneurship has taught me that I have more peers than competitors, and it has been a joy to get to know Evanston businesswomen who are successful and supportive of fellow small business owners. I met Sara Jane of See Jane Sparkle at a Custer Fair years ago, when I didn’t even think […]
Thursday is men’s shopping night at the See Jane Sparkle Pop-up Bazaar. We will be open from 7 pm to 9 pm at 817A Chicago Avenue in Evanston to give last-minute shoppers a chance to purchase presents for their loved ones. As a bonus, we are offering chair massages so you can unstiffen your holiday-stressed […]
