Heading to fabulous Chi-town today to swing by the beautiful shop Embellish and learn about owner Barb’s handmade mission. My husband and I have lived in the North Center neighborhood of Chicago for 15 years. Part of the reason we love it so much is because there’s no pretension. It’s just an unassuming and nice [...]

Heading upstate today to visit Kristy and Kristen of Clay Wood & Cotton in Beacon, NY.  See how they are thriving against all odds. I am certain it seems slightly insane to have opened a shop selling handmade good in this economy, when people have more limited spending money. But we’ve survived a year, and, [...]
