Links I Love Week 24: Year 206

wells street art festival Rebecca Plotnick blue dress by splendid

This weekend is our summer kickoff with Art Fair Weekend in Chicago. It is a big weekend in the city, and there is so much energy. I have a booth at Wells Street Art Fair. Set-up was early Saturday morning, and it was a full day. Sunday is much easier with a late start, and I have help tearing down. I used to do all of this myself, and now I have the best art fair husband, pitching in wherever I need help.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by this weekend! I will be at 1311 N Wells Street from 10 am – 5 pm this Sunday. Stop by and say hello!

Grab your coffee and croissants, and join me for links I love.
