My first non-Chicago

will be within the ballroom, but I hear the building is beautiful. Please

See me in booth 31! This is a darn lovely show in a lovely space. It's expanded to several rooms, but you can find me in the same location as last year in the main auditorium. Walk in and look to the right front corner for Brandyland! And I really like the idea that the stage will be home of Stitch-N-Bitch lessons.
DEPART-ment
Open End • 2000 W Fulton, Chicago
Dec 3-5, 2004 • Friday 7:00 pm - 11:00 pm, Saturday and Sunday 11:00 am - 5:00 pm

This show is a different model, organized not by booth, but by department. Created to be a quarterly event, an alternative department show so Chicagoans can patronize local craftspeople.

Last year, I started throwing jewelry trunk shows in my friends' homes. Some went swimmingly, others were gasping for air. The principle is simple: A friend agrees to host a party (since 95% of my jewelry is designed for women, it tends to be all women), she invites friends and make snacks or makes it a potluck. I bring all my jewelry. I talk about my work and the guests get to try things on and take their time to buy. Whatever we sell, the host gets 25% of the total in free jewelry. Think the Tupperware model, but with shiny things you can wear. Brandyware. If you're a friend in Chicago, and would like to host one, contact me.

See me in booth #6! Last year this was a great show for me, and got me to organize my thoughts on shows into the article, Craft Show 101. Let's hope for nice weather and that the two day show is twice as nice! I'll be bringing cheap cookies and sodas and will have picnic blankets for friends who want to hang out and take a breather.
URGENT UPDATE! I'll be in booth number #6 on Saturday, as seen below. Due to a last minute change, booths #1-13 need to be moved for Sunday due to a farmers market. Please scroll down to see the map for Sunday.
