This year’s holiday market will be held Friday November 1 from 4-8pm and Saturday November 2 from 10am-4pm in the Wilder […]
Whoops, October disappeared and I suddenly need to prepare for the Elmhurst’s 9th Annual Wilder Mansion Holiday Market! This fabulous show kicks off my Holiday season, and while it truly is the 1st weekend of November as always, it falling on the 1st feels early. We will be in the historic Wilder Mansion on Friday, November […]
I am super-excited to return to Elmhurst on Friday. RGL Marketing for the Arts is hosting its 8th Annual Holiday Market presented by Brewpoint Coffee this weekend.

Mid-September always kicks off art fair Holiday Season for me. Yes, we’re a few months away, but these are the fairs at which people start thinking about holiday gifting.

This museum houses the collection of Joseph Lizzadro, who enjoyed cutting and polishing jade as a hobby, and began collecting beautiful artifacts. Because rough jade […]
I recently discovered my 1999 maps that helped me move across states to get to Evanston. Pre-GPS driving into the unknown was scary, but quite the road trip. So for kicks I looked up Elmhurst and got inspired. I am heading back to the Wilder Mansion on Friday and Saturday. The Wilder Mansion’s 6th Annual Holiday Market takes […]
Returning to the Wilder Mansion is always a joy. It was a gorgeous Wednesday afternoon, and I got the same table as the Holiday Market last year. Soon I was set up. The ample set up time meant I got to peruse the other booths in mid-dress after a delicious lunch. This undressed booth is […]
