Spots may still be available for this very unique-sounding craft show. The theme is kids' clothing and accessories, and it also seems to be very well organized. It is in downtown Chicago, so if you will be in the area, please try to vend or visit and report back to me with pictures and comments. I am sure that the coordinator would really appreciate your support, so have fun!
