Hello all!
Phew, it's the final stretch before mid to late December holiday shopping season ends, and I have some goodies available online (and in person at next weekend's pop-up - check out below).
Final Winter Pop-Up at Half Acre Brewery:
Saturday, December 14th
11AM to 6PM
2050 W Balmoral Ave, Chicago, IL 60625
Check out the tap room and local Chicago vendors
Come visit the craft show and check out the beautiful tap room! This is my first time visiting, and I think it will be a fantastic chance to check off those final lines on your shopping list.
Tell your Chicago-local friends to come say hi!
Shipping:
I do need to mention that this season I am not able to ship reliably out of the country, so for now I am going to ship only to the USA. I'm really sorry, folks! For those of you who live outside of the US, please consider buying from your local artists. There are still plenty of 12th hour craft shows, and they are well worth visiting. Who knows? Maybe you'll finally have the best inspiration for someone! Probably also yourself, and that's me speaking from experience. ♥️
Please go support small businesses!
My Portfolio:
Guess what? I finally have a separate page to showcase my art happenings. As many of you know, I am a painter - well, I'm a multidisciplinary artist - and I've been showing my original work all summer across Chicagoland. You can find some of my smaller originals on my site later tonight. (I wanted to add them eventually, and at this very moment moment I'm saying - what the heck, sure!) I'm setting up a separate newsletter specifically for art news and musings. I'll let you know when I can figure out how to set up a submission form. Otherwise for the time being you can reply to this email letting me know you're interested!
(By the way, art friends, HI! Heehee.)
You can find the link to my artist portfolio page on the Tortie Cat website through the navigation menu, or you can click here: www.lauracastanosart.com
In the shop, I uploaded prints, cards, baubles, book ornaments, photo albums, and some originals are going up as I type this. Well, I'm typing in between uploads, ha!
It's been a real crazy year in 2024. Here's to staying safe, at peace, loving loved ones, and working hard in 2025.
Thanks for visiting, and have a happy holiday season!
Cheers,
Laura, Kalimari, & Radley 🐾 🎄
