So many things going on in Chicago this weekend. There’s the Chicago Fine Chocolate Show, the opening of the recently moved Old Navy in the Loop, and the indie craft show: The DIY Trunk Show.
I am so excited to attend The DIY Trunk Show tomorrow! I’ve recently moved to Chicago for graduate school and have begun to explore the city and attend indie craft events. In September, I attended the Randolph Street Market, which had an indie craft section. I’m lucky because this show is only 10 minutes on the Redline from my apartment! I love craft shows that are comprised of indie designers because it’s fun to meet people my age and see what they’re making. Of course, the shopping aspect also counts!
I bought these pages of illustrations that were $1.00 each at the Randolph Street Market and did a quick and cheap DIY to hang them in my kitchen. I went to Michaels and bought jewelry wire, mini clothes pins from the kids craft section, and I already had these plant hanger hooks. I have a ton of these pages that I plan to hang up when I live in a larger apartment.
I plan to check out the Trunk Show tomorrow morning and hope to find more decorative art. I am also meeting my fellow Rosie Discovers bloggers for lunch at Navy Pier while they take a break from tasting chocolates at the Chicago Fine Chocolate Show.
