I am super excited about the Eames stamps! It sounds like these were a long time in the making, and still not quite here yet. I'll have to save them for the very, very best mail.

Zola Jones Boutique
1944 W. Montrose, Chicago
11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Press release and more info here.
We're very excited to share our work with you and to collaborate with Jason Loper of Zola Jones! His storefront is going to be chock full of craft and fun. Let's hope some beautiful weather.
Also, Montrose Avenue has a lot of great things to do and see. The Brown Line stop is all shiny and new. Glenn's Diner's fish dishes are very tasty. Margie's Candies will satiate your sweet tooth. See art and learn about classes at Lill Street Art Center. Check out the Chicago Taoist Tai Chi Center where I had a great time learning about moving meditation. AND there's Beans and Bagels, just under the train, who'll host our next craft networking night, The Craft Racket (date TBD).
Again, please help us by inviting your friends! Please send along the link -
