One of a Kind Show Chicago: December 1-4th, 2022

This show offers the work of so many artisans from jewelry makers to dressmakers to milliners that it is a great place to go if you are looking for gifts or something for yourself. You see here just a handful of the makers whose work will be on display. There are also makers of ceramics, furniture, and fine art, but of course, I am most interested in the fashion.

You can easily spend a large chunk of the day looking at everything on offer and there will be places to eat while you take a break. Tickets are $15 and benefit the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago.

The One of the Kind Show at the Mart in Chicago, December 2-5, 2021

This is a wonderful holiday artisans show in downtown Chicago where you will find gifts for yourself and everyone you know. I show you some of the fashions available, but the range of items run from the fine arts to ceramics and food. Over 400 artists, so this is a day’s outing. I have always had a wonderful time at this show.

The gorgeous draped dress is by Anez, a company founded by two sisters, billed as a sustainable & contemporary womenswear brand from Skokie, Illinois. I don’t often see clothing that makes me think, “Give Me That Now,” but this dress does. The hat is from  Brim and Dash Millinery Couture which offers men’s and women’s hats in Northfield, Illinois and there are more examples on the website. And the mittens which make me think, surely there is a pair there in a color combo that will suit everyone you know is from Peapack Mitten Company mittens which upcycles wool sweaters, and is a 1-woman operation in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Show Hours are Thursday, December 2 — 10am-8pm, Friday, December 3 — 10am-8pm, Saturday, December 4 — 10am-8pm, Sunday, December 5 — 10am-5pm.  Tickets are $10 a piece and a children’s hospitals receives a portion of the ticket price.
