So you say you wanna big ass photo post? no? too bad you get one anyways. if you don’t like looking at random photos then you may want to skip this blog.
So i said last weekend i took a lot of pictures, here’s some of what we did…
First because Nell keeps making me thirsty, flashing her cold ones over there..i thought i’d show you what is good over in apt 2A
Shiner Bock and Red Vines mmmm Nat has been very happy because Shiner came to chicago in April. It’s his favorite beer. It’s really pretty good. The land of yee-haw has some good stuff down there!


On sunday we went down to the Union arts for a ladyfest benefit craft fair, and to see Lauren. Lauren is so rad. You must check out her stuff on etsy. She made me the awesome type nerd etched glass, Nat got one with a moustache!




Her boyfriend was there too. Robert makes stained glass that is here (buy the one i want and i will fight you)


joy bought a sock doggie


also mark your calenders NAT SMILED and lauren got it on camera. DISCLAIMER I STOLE THESE TWO PHOTOS AND COLOR CORRECTED THEM FROM HERE THESE TWO PHOTOS ARE TAKEN BY LAUREN


and this one is one of my favorites she took..look at the three of us? Nat and Joy are frowning..what am i doing? just HOW many cameras do i NEED? look at me..this cracks me up


also this was held in an old church and the star of the show was this neon jesus complete with red neon blood...fantastic!


and this pretty glass


Joy lives in printer’s row- i took a picture from her street- see that triangleish building on the right? that is the cook county PRISION, bet you didn’t know that. someone once told me why there are 90 degree angles in there but i forgot.


joy looking “editorial” in front of Panera in the SuperDorm™


we then walked down to the lake y’all recognize this? they finally turned it on over mother’s day


and then we walked down to millenium park. on the way we saw this anti-war demonstration on the Art Institute of Chicago steps


I have a little tradition of having my picture taken with my favorite chicago icon, i’ll have to dig up the ones of me in high school circa 1988, joy and i by lion #2




then we saw my favorite newish piece of downtown public art the bean


and this is just a picture of the pretty foyer of the chicago auditorium i love the circles

ok nothing all that exciting, except for nat smiling, but still..i was just out with the Duaflex II on a super sunny cool day and we walked around for hours. It was kind of fun going downtown.
I do wish y’all a good weekend. I’m planning on spending it sewing and who knows what so there should be new stuff in the etsy shop if you are looking for a summery pouch to hold your crafty things.
See ya monday, i wish all y’alls a great and productive weekend.

Cool pics, we like to pose in front of one of the lions too.  That lady’s dress (to your left) is gorgeous.  Love the bean!

Great photos. Love downtown Chicago in the spring before it gets too crowded and too hot. So fun.

Oh - and that’s the “Married With Children” fountain????

(and how wrong is it that I’m coveting Nat’s shirt???)

Oh man, I need you to email that one of Robert to me, so I can steal one from you. I like that one lots. You can steal pictures from me anytime.

ALSO. He will have the piece you like ALL SHINY AND HAPPY if you decide you want to get it this weekend. No big deal if you can’t now. (the cleaning will be already done then for when you do!)

Can’t wait to see you Saturday!
