Cool contrast of nature vs. not-nature!

A beautiful sunset to finish out a busy day… prepping, pricing, packing & shlepping everything out to Barrington. I got a good amount of my booth set-up… but I forgot a few key pieces! Like it’s my first time?!! Luckily I can bring them early tomorrow to finish setting up! It was a pretty ending tonight though.

Okay, so I’m one of those who enjoys sunrises over sunsets…
but this sunset was pretty darn AMAZING tonight!!! From the roof of the studio…

A beautiful sunset as we were driving back to Cory’s after attending the Friday night Opening Party in Aurora. A nice kick-off for the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR… lots of pots & friendly potters. And a bonus sunset to cap off the night!!!

So I decided to drive out to Hinsdale tonight to set-up my tent & shelves. Hoping to make tomorrow morning a bit less hectic when I bring all of the pottery!!! Beautiful sunset evening in Burlington Park… hoping for some good weather this weekend?! Fingers crossed…

Driving home from Hinsdale… and treated to a beautiful sunset & scenic view of Buckingham Fountain. Another reminder of why I love living in Chicago so much. Simply beautiful… and a great way to “end” day one of the Hinsdale Fine Arts Festival.

As the sun slowly sets on the end of another wonderful weekend somewhere in the middle of nowhere! A much needed weekend getaway…

Early morning sunrise from the rooftop of Chicago’s Navy Pier…
well before the racing begins…

Headed home as the sun sets on the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR.

So much fun playing at the Sandwich location with such great potters & now-friends! Thanks to Cory for hosting… as well as Kenyon, Lindsey, Linda & Nancy (Burt) for making it such a fun weekend!

Driving north to Minneapolis last Thursday was so much fun… I love a good road trip… especially when you’re driving into the sunset. Plus great tunes on the radio & snacks on the seat next to you!!!
