The 2nd show on our upcoming roster is a BIG ONE 💎 Our 2023 Holiday Show marks 𝟭𝟬 𝗬𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗦 of SHOW of HANDS Chicago! 🥂 This pipe dream of an event started way back in 2013, in the studio space at the back of @orangebeautiful's retail shop on Damen Avenue in Ravenswood. The story goes *stop me if you've heard this before* that a long-running craft show somewhat suddenly called it quits in July of 2013. Lizzie (aka @craftbelly, aka @papergirlcreative), who worked for OrangeBeautiful at the time, was sitting with me in the back of the shop when we both read the email announcing this other show would not be happening that coming November... The movie version of what happened next is that I turned to Lizzie, and said, "What if OrangeBeautiful started its own craft show?!," we both made this face 😬 and immediately began trying to figure out what we would name the show, is the domain name available (I mean, this was 10 years ago), how many show friends do we have that might want to be vendors?... Now, a 𝗪𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗘 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗨𝗩𝗔 𝗟𝗢𝗧 has happened between planning that very first show and now... but that I'll save for my memoir: 𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘊𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘵 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘸 📖 If you'd like the chance to be a part of this momentous event (and/or our August and December shows!), Vendor Applications are NOW OPEN... 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 '𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘍𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘺! #showofhandschicago #10thanniversary #dontmissout #applynow
