ART + SCIENCE PRESENTS ART AND SOUL


hello lovely chicagoans!

won't you join me for a creative night out in wicker park to benefit a wonderful association? this debut of art + science's art + soul night out at double door {in chicago of course!} will benefit the national association for down syndrome which was actually...

founded in chicago in 1961 by parents who chose to go against medical advice and raise their children with down syndrome at home. their pioneering efforts have made it easier for later generations of individuals with down syndrome to be accepted by their families and communities, to develop their capabilities and to work towards independence. their mission is to ensure that all persons with down syndrome have the opportunity to achieve their potential in all aspects of community life.

this cause is very near and dear to me as well as my appreciation for the sheer genius that oozes from the fantastic creatives at art + science. i'll be sharing some behind the scenes footage for those of you not in the area - but for you lovely locals - won't you come and join in the fun?

hope to see you there!

randolph street market :: ooodles of treasures coming june 23//24


it's almost here!!

next weekend i will finally be able to scour the randolph street market for all sorts of vintage treasures! can you tell i'm a bit excited? i missed the last one because i was away so i've developed quite the hankering now.

i've been religiously attending the randolph street market {in chicago} now for almost three years and i have NEVER left empty handed - there are always a ton of fabulous finds! and they have the widest variety of goods too. there's furniture, clothing, jewelry, records, art, decor, tools, odd bits, etc. and it certainly ranges in period. they even have indie designers and artists showcased. it's absolutely wonderful!

it honestly couldn't come at a better time either. i am moving at the end of june into a beautiful three bedroom apartment with my friend...but because of the size...we're going to need to pick up a lot more furniture! bazinga! i hope i find some interesting pieces!

tidbit of advice::
no matter which day you attend, get there as early as possible to score the good finds!!! 
*this season they've added a ticket purchase option that let's you in earlier than the actual start time to scout out and purchase in advance...in case you're anything like me!
