Well it’s December, and we’re still enjoying some pretty darn nice weather. Another beautiful sunrise bike ride. Clear skies, calm water, incredible reflections… including some beautiful Christmas lights sparkling in Belmont Harbor.
It’s that time of the year again…
Time to start looking for the perfect holiday gift for that special someone.
And St. Nick’s Day is right around the corner… it’s this Wednesday!!!
Sounds like a good day for an online sale!!! Details to come…

Big thanks to everyone who came out tonight for the Lillstreet Holiday Open House Party. Fun to meet a lot of new people, chat with old friends… and see some pots head off to their new homes! Thanks for appreciating handmade & supporting local artisans.
We all appreciate it


For the first day of December, this morning was pretty darn amazing! Warmer than it should be for this time of the year… sunny, warm and calm. A great kick-off for December!
Okay, so they can’t all be perfection. Gray skies this morning with a lot of clouds blowing through. But then again… still pretty amazing with big clouds in all the right places!!!
Dockside on Chicago’s Navy Pier. The Windy tethered to The Pier…
and a nice Robert Indiana stacking of letters & numbers.
A cute stage musical version of the classic holiday movie in the always stunning Cadillac Palace Theater. Some classic Christmas carols and show-stopping tap dance numbers. A nice kick-off to the holiday season.
After several days of dramatic clouded sunrises, I guess it was finally time for a simple, back-to-basics, clear sky morning!
