Part of the fun of being a maker is discovering all the boutiques that support artisans in Chicago. Last November Sacred Art had my Angels in the shop, and in late May I took some pendants and plant stakes there. On Saturday, June 10 from 11 am to 3 pm I will have a Pop […]
Last Sunday took me to the Shores of Turtle Creek in Spring Grove for the Affair of the Arts Spring Show. The grounds are so pretty and I can imagine the festive events that are held here. Like the holiday show, we had ample setup time. The load in was smooth, and soon my table […]
On Saturday and Sunday I am returning to Holstein Field House for the 18th Annual Bucktown Holiday ArtShow. It is my third year there, and I think I’ll be in the same spot as last year. This show has 100 artists selling handmade, unique, one of a kind gifts and art in all media. I’ve […]
I’m SOOOO excited! This year I will be at Architectural Artifacts during the Ravenswood ArtWalk.

I’m pleased to see that only one pendant has gone missing after packing and repacking items for multiple locations at least 10 times this past year. Deleting […]
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. […]
I’ve been enjoying the weather and nature so much that promoting my jewelry has been backburnered a bit. But you’ll see me wear and can peruse fun pieces at NEW’s Crain’s Small Business Week Event on Wednesday. My Chakra Bangle and Twinsy Dancing Spirals are with me most often. The Morpho Butterfly wax and wire […]
