Links I Love Week 23: Year 2026

Links I Love Week 23
I hope you are having a great Sunday. June is off to a busy and full start. Wells Street Art Fair is next weekend. It is the only art fair I do all year. There is a lot of prep work involved. Every day, more and more boxes are arriving as I prepare. Signed books, totes, and prints will be available. This is the kickoff to summer in Chicago and always draws a big crowd.
I won’t know my exact booth spot until the day of, so stay tuned to social for my location. Most likely, I will be right around 1311 N. Wells.
Grab your coffee and croissants, and join me for links I love.
