See the photo above?? They had all of their old craft fair posters for sale and I was able to snag the very last 2004 Wicker Park Craft Fair poster! (Second row from the bottom, far right.) After spending half the day trying to make up our mind on what we wanted to leave with, we finally picked out some great goodies! -- If you ever get the chance to go to Chicago, you should definitely stop by!
Here are a couple other photographs from the day:
Shops we LOVED:
Buffalo Exchange - Gently used clothing & accessories
Una Mae's - New & vintage clothing as well as some local handmades
Renegade Handmade - Handmade
Free People - Clothing shop
Store B - Vintage
US #1 - Vintage
We had our first session of the conference tonight and learned about "being in the moment," so that we can be at our best frame of mind for creativity and being present. Afterward, we spent a couple hours at the expo collecting paper samples and resources for design! -- I can't wait for a busy day of sessions tomorrow!
Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend!
Did you get the chance to swing by Eskell or Roslyn in Wicker Park/Bucktown? Two of my very favorite boutiques! Also, love eating at Handlebar when I'm out that way (we live in Lakeview.) Glad you had a good time!
ReplyDeleteAnni -- We DID go by Eskell! It was also amazing! -- We didn't get a chance to stop by Roslyn or Handlebar...BUT I'm seriously considering another wicker park trip before we leave. :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow! That shop looks absolutely adorable! I've never spent that much time in Chicago, perhaps I should?!
ReplyDeleteAh, lucky girl!!! Sounds like a wonderful day. :D I lived in Chicago (well, a suburb of Chicago) for 18 years and never explored due to really paranoid parents. Now I'm in Utah, pretty close to Salt Lake City, with a love-to-explore wife and I feel so, so blessed. ^_^
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures...I have been thinking of you two today and your adventures in Chicago. I am there in spirit, and wish more than anything that I could be there in person. Have a ton of FUN! PS I like Buffalo Exchange too, they have 1 in Dallas :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I love your photos so much! The architecture is fabulous! And the shop is super cute.
