Visiting the Gold Coast

As my auto post mentioned, I was going to Chicago. I had a very good trip, though I came back with a head cold. Saturday was the worst day for some reason, but Sunday it decided to almost entirely disappear. Five days is a long time for me to be sick at all, so I’m not sure what to think of it.

Also, Thursday I went to Music in Mears and set up a little booth. It’s been quite a week!

So, June 21st.
Got up early and went to the Chicago Botanic Gardens. If you want to see the nicest photos I took, I’ve got them up on Flickr.My Flickr, Right Here

Then we went to the Gold Coast Art Fair. It was pretty intimidating. So many artists, the booths weren’t just canopies and tables, they had actual walls and some had floors! Painters, sculptors, jewelry makers, woodworkers, textile artists- pretty much something for everyone. I still don’t know if that’s where I want to go with all of this, but it was a reminder of where I’d have to get to if I’m gonna!

Monday was just hanging out and Tuesday was so much transit.

Wednesday was the start of being sick, but I still managed to do a few things for Thursday.

I was pretty hopeful I’d sell a mask, but no such luck. I did have two people run into trees, they were so focused on looking at them! And one person tried them on and took pictures and a business card… but I only sold earrings that night.

Still, it’s a free show and I’ll be doing it all summer. I’m still feeling positive!
The company is fun, there’s music, and if the weather is terrible, it gets cancelled. Really a great introduction to the show side of arts and crafts.
