Is Spring In?

Hello Life Marvelers!
It's been quiet here since the big holiday rush. January had me recovering from the creative and holiday fair frenzy, and I couldn't muster up the energy to promote, make or market anything. Then in February I was felled by a nasty cold virus that forced me to stay in bed for a good week and a half. Of course after that brain fog there is a bit of catching up to do.
Now my head is back, the sun has returned, and it seems the extreme wintry weather might actually be having its last hurrah! Dare I say that spring is coming in? I sure hope so. It feels a bit like this was the snowiest, blusteriest and most vortexy winter I have experienced. I think the weathermen confirmed the snow, but I haven't checked other records Chicago's Ice Queen might have broken this year.

Handmade Market March and April

I'll return to art fairing on Sunday, March 24 at the Handmade Market, from 12 to 4 p.m. The Empty Bottle, located at 1035 N Western Ave, Chicago, will be filled with funky jewelry, knitted items, clothing, baked goods, handbags, paper crafts, skincare and more handmade booths.
Each event is held on the 2nd Saturday of every month, as well as the 3rd Sunday of the month, from the months of October - April. I will be there on April 28 as well. Admission is free, but you have to be over 21 to enter so you can have a mimosa or other beverage.

Planning 2019

While I was laid up I also spent time reviewing my art fairs and started applying to this year's markets. My November lineup is coming together, and I am adding the Chicago Artisan Market into the mix this year. You'll see me there in July. Meanwhile, I am excited to further my making skills at Bead & Button Show in June.

It's good to be back in the swing of things, and peruse local exhibits. and I look forward to seeing you soon at future shows and during various local activities.
