As I mentioned in Just a Chi Town Girl’s Favorite Things, I have a huge crush on K.Amato Jewelry.  I went to put on my Wabash necklace today and realized I didn’t know when her holiday sale was!  Her studio is in Lincoln Park but a few times a year, K.Amato takes her show on the road.  Next Wednesday, December 8th at the Omni Hotel from 5-8pm will be the one I’ll be hitting up but there are a few more dates, including this Friday up on Southport and then another in Lincoln Park later next week.  Seriously great jewelry dreamed up by one of Chicago’s own.  I’m so excited to see what’s new.

Cold and Crisp

I bundled up and went for a little walk this morning.  It is crisp and cold and absolutely December.  It’s the kind of cold that flirts with the edge of snow, the below 30 degree cold that could turn into flakes at any second.  I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t the least bit excited for snow.  The city is so beautiful and bright with a fresh layer of snow.  It makes holiday’ing official.  Which it totally is, and this upcoming weekend solidifies it even more…with or without snow.  My parents are coming into town for the 4th Annual  “G Family Christmas Kickoff” and I couldn’t be more excited.
