fall is here

had a fun afternoon at [lincoln park zoo] on friday. 

my mom was in town and we wanted to celebrate fall. 

the zoo had a mini pumpkin patch, a fun slide, choo-choo train, a bounce house, etc.

34 weeks and counting... i cannot wait to meet this pumpkin under my shirt <3

a curious collection of fine craft

2034 n damen ave, chicago

i truly love shopping here. owned by a quirky, fun mama, who supports shop small saturday with so much enthusiasm. she is a community leader in the buck town neighborhood and will make you feel at home in her store.
her collection of fine craft is really eclectic. to name a few; humorous cards, insect ceramics, handmade engagement rings (cough, nick, cough)..
gifts for young moms and gifts for grandmas.
