Glad I went last year. I came back this year, and glad I did. Where? To "The Chicago Art Girls Pop-Up Shop" held the day before Mother's Day.
One vendor I purchased from last year, and this year, was Weener Ware (photo below). They got me with the "Blue Phone Box".
Dear friend Robin Rios. The reason why a attended this event last year. She showcased her custom art skateboards and masks.
This next artistry is just plain fun, and adorable. Again, the "Blue Phone Box" caught my eye, then the aprons, then . . . well, who they are made for. Really nice. Would like to see Beth apply to our local Griffith Central Market.
And . . . I can truly say a lot caught my eye. This next table is from Melissa Zeigler Monroe. Perhaps Melissa will consider applying to our Griffith Central Market???!!!
Art will always catch my eye. If I had the money, I would by a piece from every artist. This next photo is of Anastasia Mak Art. I found it colorful, meaningful, conceptual, and personal. I would like to see this work at the Griffith Central Market as well.
I also bought some scented candles from Flam Bo. These are "hand poured all natural soy candles" made in Chicago. I am burning one now as I create this blog. I did not take a photo of her work, however, you can find out more at . . . Facebook.
The "Chicago Art Girls" open the one-day event to promote women artists, showcasing the range of creativity from clothing to art, housewares, accessories & more. (See their Facebook page, and Website page.) I believe this is an annual event, so start planning to attend next year, the day before Mother's Day.
Here are some photos of the event, that is held in Ravenswood. I did purchase some products while I was there!!!!

My eye was also on some raku, created by Mary Obodzinski of Studio 1136. I liked the taller vessels on the right. Would make for an interesting lamp base.
