I thought I'd post some photos of the Handmade Chicago show that I recently did! It was held in a fun little bar on Western called the Empty Bottle where the walls are plastered in indie band posters and the bathrooms are swathed in "colorful" graffiti. I had a great time and met some fun people selling everything from beer cozies to knitwear. I used my new earring and bracelet displays which were a huge hit and, which I must say, I'm quite proud of!!
The set up.

Friday Flickr Find
So, I havent' done one of these in a very long time. I haven't been feeling very inspired lately but I woke up this morning in a creative mood and decided what better way to channel it than with a good old Friday Flickr Find!?!
Today's subject is snow!! We've been blanketed here in the midwest too many times to count this winter and I've lost track of the number of times I've had to dig my car out of a ridiculous snow drift! Don't get me wrong, I'm one of those weird types that love the snow; skiing, sledding, building forts, throwing snowballs, making snow angels...I love the stuff! My favorite thing to do is take a walk during a nightime snowfall...the world seems to become an ethereal snowglobe and everything looks just a little bit brighter and almost magical. I thought these photos captured the best part of snow, fresh and unmarred by plows, cars and the general business of life as usual. Enjoy!!!
