Notes from the Tulip House

Bucktown Holiday Art Show

Last month I participated in the Bucktown Holiday Art Show.  It is my third craft show to date.  There were about 100 artists and crafters with a really nice selection of handmade goods.  The show took place on Saturday and Sunday, (Dec. 14th and 15th,) and unfortunately on Friday night we got our first big snow storm of the season.  There weren’t as many shoppers as usual and I didn’t sell as much as I had hoped, but it was a fun show to do and I’m glad I did it.

Here are a few photos of my display.  The Mister and I built all the display items with the exception of the two dark wood busts.  For some reason I didn’t think to take a photo of my whole “booth,” so you just get to see it in bits and pieces.  : )

new years day

A belated Happy Holidays!  Hope you all enjoyed your New Years/Christmas/Hanukkah!  We are knee deep in snow here in Chicago!  I’ve got several new pieces of jewelry to add to my Etsy store.  I hope to post one or two items everyday over the next week.  I also have a bunch of blog posts to write so check back!

December Sneek Peek

Hello!  Sorry I’ve been AOL, I’ve been busy at my bench getting ready for a craft show!  I probably won’t have time to take proper photos of finished pieces before the show so I thought I would share a little peek at the works in progress on my bench.

December works in progress

If you live in the Chicago area please come by and see my work in person.  I’ll be at the Bucktown Holiday Art Show, which takes place on Dec. 14 and 15, 12-5.  You can see specifics here, and print a free admission pass. : )
