I'm Having a Party, and Everyone's Invited!

This Friday is the open house for the building (First Friday, Flat Iron Arts Building), so I thought why not turn it into a party?

That's how the Ugly-Sweater-Optional Purple Prince Another Lonely Christmas party was born. So if you're in the Chicago area, or even if you're not, this is a great night to stop by, have fun, peruse jewelry, and dance to a mix of Prince and weird holiday music.

So yeah, ugly sweaters are optional, purple is encouraged, and I will do my damnedest to get y'all some banana daiquiris. You know, banana daiquiris until you go blind...

Well, if you don't know, if you haven't heard this absolute treasure of a holiday song yet, I can promise you'll hear it at this party. Probably several times.

Open in December

I'm making it my goal this December to try to open my studio every day, at least for a little while, leading up to Xmas. I'll post my hours daily on Twitter and Facebook, so follow me on there if you're interested in dropping by!

I'm also always happy to take appointments, so if there's something you want to see in person, or if you want to set up a custom order, you can contact me by email at

I'm always busy on Etsy around this time of the year, but I know it's nice to see and hold something before you buy it, too... and you'll save on shipping costs, which is always helpful.
