Looking for a more personal way to shop for handmade goods in Chicago? Well, that's what DEPART-ment is--everything has been handmade by local artisans, all arranged like a department store with racks and islands and counters and one central checkout area. This is a cash-only event, but an ATM is on-site for your convenience.
DEPART-ment includes hip and happening handmade clothing, jewelry, accessories, bath and body, housewares and...items from yours truly!
If you're in the Chicago area, stop by and support crafters and artists and put your money into people that work hard to make quality, one of a kind items!
DEPART-ment is held at AV-aerie, 2000 W. Fulton, 3rd floor.
Open Friday April 25th 7pm-11pm and Saturday and Sunday April 26-27 11am-5pm.

Oooh exciting! you are going to be busy!
Curious to see how the Department thing went. Hope you sold lots of your ultra cute stuff!!
I didn't do as well as I would have liked but I did sell a few things and that's always good. But better yet, I go to meet other sellers and get some info that I needed to know about the business of selling one's crafts. I'm planning to do a really big street fair this fall.
