I've created a Jewelry With Stories to Tell collection for the Chicago show. Each
piece was inspired by one of the four seasons and comes with its own story.

Winter - Empress of the Night
Summer - Flamenco Flats
Spring - Standing in the Center of Spring
Fall - A Hedge Apple and an Artichoke

Looking forward to meeting all of you in Chicago. I am also praying for good weather!
See you soon. I'm in the emerging artist area at booth 1013 so will be very close to the ETSY booths.

Hello - I'm Erin. I'll be in booth 8-3005, which I believe is right across from Etsy's booth.

I'm excited about the show and meeting everyone, but a little overwhelmed with preparations right now! :)

[meganleedesigns]

Hi,
I'm another Megan from Chicago. I'm also excited and slightly freaked out about doing the show for the first time! I'm in the emerging artist section, right by Etsy. Booth #1008. I do original illustrations silkscreened on clothing and accessories.

Looking forward to it!! Glad to have a group to bounce ideas off of :)

[Former_Member]

[Former_Member]

Hi, all.

I'm Ardis and I'll be in booth 3020 in the Etsy Pavilion. We're in for an adventure. Is everyone working away like I am? My friends call my workroom (aka dining room) "The Sweatshop." It's politically correct because the only worker is me, and I'm busy making sweaters and coats from recycled materials.

Looking forward to meeting my Etsy neighbors at OOAK Chicago.
