Still looking for gift ideas? If you’re in Chicago, there are two options this weekend. The first, running Friday-Sunday, is the One of a Kind Show at the Merchandise Mart – over 400 artisans will be participating, and you’re sure to find something. Second, on Saturday and Sunday, Bari Zaki is have a studio sale, where you can select from all kinds of holiday ephemera. I’ll be there on Sunday – hope there are some gooides left. And if you’re in Oakland, CA, you’re the luckiest of all, because Carrot & Stick Press is hosting its first ever studio sale on Saturday from 10-4. I would love to see what they’re featuring. Maybe someone who goes will report.
Oh, and if you live in Chicago and love crowds, Ina Garten will be at the Chicago Crate & Barrel at 850 W. North Avenue today from 4 to 6 pm. Enjoy!
