tiny business bazaar

tiny business bazaar

Tiny businesses—smaller than small—thrive on the individual owners hustling hard. They are brilliant generalists, innovative thinkers, and profit-focused locals. We are thrilled to present the first Tiny Business Bazaar featuring a handful of our local favorites. Visit us now through the holiday season at lululemon as we showcase some of our favorite tiny businesses in Chicago.

November 16-17: Ianneci Jewelry
Shop for necklaces, earrings and bracelets hand-made in Chicago by two of our fave rockstar women business owners.

November 22-24: Sacred Serve
Sinfully delicious gelato. Need we say more? Ok, we will. It’s not sinful. It’s sustainable, Chicago-made and plant-based. And it tastes so, so good.

November 29-30: Luna Bay Booch
Boozy kombucha. Oh yeah. Luna Bay is the first non-GMO, gluten-free, low sugar libation crafted in Chicago. Welcome to your new favorite drink.

Dec. 6-8: Maven Collection
The Maven Collection has everything you need for a beautiful and comfy home – Moroccan rugs, pillows, baskets and much more. You may have to stop us from buying it all…

December 14: Holiday Market
Our Tiny Business Bazaar culminates with all our pop-ups (and then some!) in one place. Shop tiny, snack on bites, and connect with Chicago’s rising entrepreneurs.

Vendors include:
American Decay
Ianneci Jewelry
Libby Alexander Art
Luna Bay Booch
Maven Collection
Pickling Peddlers
Sacred Serve
White Wolf Syndicate

December 14 from 1-4 PM at lululemon on North Avenue.

setting the perfect dinner party table

My three-year-old nephew and I wrote a song about doing chores in which we ask every member of the family what their favorite chore and least favorite chore is. It kept him singing and standing at the sink with me for at least an hour post-Christmas dinner while I crushed those dishes, so you know it’s a v. good song. I’m going to spare you my singing voice and instead tell you about MY FAVORITE ever chore. Setting the table. Because setting the table is LIFE!

moody spring wedding decor ideas

A few months ago, we were asked to bring our best wedding decor ideas to design the show table at the Tablescapes Event Rentals showroom in Chicago. Basically, Tablescapes asked us to come in and play around with all of their beautiful rentals to show off some wedding decor ideas. Yes, please! We grabbed a couple of our favorite vendor friends and went to work!
