Fill Up Your Dance Card

If you are in and around the Chicago area over the next couple of weekends - have we got some crafty events for you!

First up is an event tonight - this one fills up quick, so call or email before going! It's the Chicago Craft Social, the idea being that you bring any unwanted craft supplies that are lurking around your home. Fabric, scrap booking paper, beads, buttons, whatever... if you don't want it anymore, we do! We'll sort the items on the swap table and you'll have the opportunity to "shop" throughout the evening. One crafter's junk is another's treasure, right? The leftover supplies will be donated. So cool - we love this event!

This Saturday, from 9 to 5, the first annual Holiday Market put on by the DIY (design it yourself, they do the work) 1154 Lill Studio Handbag boutique takes place. We are excited about this one as it features a couple of our favs and friends, Orange Beautiful and Cardiology. Can't wait to catch up with them - and buy a print or two!

To round out this crafty triple threat, there's the DIY Trunk Show, organized by the Chicago Craft Mafia. Free admission and a Chicago-centric group of great exhibitors is more than enough to get us there!

If that wasn't enough holiday pre-planning and socializing, be sure to check out the One of A Kind show and of course, the Renegade Holiday Fair (in Chicago & San Fran!).
