On Saturday, the 22nd, I picked up Phil’s mom and we headed to downtown Chicago to see K. It was K’s second time to be in the SAIC art sale and it is probably her last time.
She had purses and scarves for sale. There was a paid admittance preview night on Thursday and then it was open to the public on Friday and Saturday. Sales were up a bit from her spring show. She was quite pleased to share a table with her friend.
It is held in the Michigan building in the very nicely renovated ballroom!
After we visited with K for a bit, MIL & I headed around the corner for lunch. We walked a few blocks around the area but the Saturday before Thanksgiving is NOT the time I want to linger and shop! Crowded!!
MIL always enjoys seeing the ice skaters at Millennium Park so we watched there for awhile. That was our coldest place with the lake wind blowing on our heads.
We stopped back at K’s table for a bit more visiting and then hugs good-bye. Thankfully, she’d be home in a few more days for more time together!
and sew on... 
Ah! This brings back such good memories of our meetup back in April. =)
Yes, I was thinking of you too! 🙂
