My plan is to wear something romantickal every day I teach in February — there’s something about observing seasonality that helps to keep me cheerful and moving through the Chicago winter (it’s currently 7 degrees F here).
Today, that’s aided by some lovely honeycomb jewelry from Dima Ali — her work is so beautiful, and every time I see her at a local market, I want to pick up some more jewelry — and I do. 
Dima and I will be in Forest Park at the Galentine’s Market at Let’s Play Work – Forest Park on Sunday, February 12th, if you want to pick up a little gift for yourself or a loved one. There’ll be several other terrific vendors there too.
(Those of you with little ones, bring them by and drop them off to play while you shop! You deserve a break! A day pass for play will be reduced to $10 (usually $16) during the market so you can let the kids run wild while you shop! Or come alone and there is no entry fee.)
