I am back in Chicago after many months. It's so strangely familiar feeling being back here. I have a art show with my dear metalsmith friend/mentor this weekend. It's a big step for my jewelry - I haven't done an art show for years now and I am thrilled to be back at it!

I am feeling so inspired right now with all the sights and perspectives of being in a familiar space and getting reacquainted with it.

Today the sun shined like it was a crisp fall day and wanting to soak all of it up before the dreary real December sets in I enacted the perfect sunny December day in the 509 which includes (but not limited to)...

1. Go to Salvation Army.

where you will surely find things you don't NEED but have to have anyway. Herbal almanac? Who says no to herbs?

2. Go on a hike.

3. Bake something delicious. I made these. wow! DO IT.
