Nina&baby_2

thought i would share…

by Nina on November 10, 2008

What I’m reading this very minute! After a long day at the trade-show… the couch, a magazine and E! News was just what my feet were asking for. I grabbed at Coke out of the refrigerator and poured a little cheese popcorn into a bowl… and picked up Chicago Collection and started flipping through the pages…
Dirty Dancing at the Cadillac Palace Theatre on Randolph

A very beautiful article titled “Dressed to Thrill”

Always remember to Shop Local… must keep them in biz because you would be sad if they weren’t there!

Here are a few of the local shops that were listed (that I don’t have pictures of):

Doggy Style Pet Shop www.doggystylepetshop.com

Nina – a Yarn and Needle shop www.ninachicago.com (don’t you love the name?!)

Plein Aire – leggings www.shoppleinaire.com

Grow – baby www.grow-kids.com

Pump Shoes www.pumpshoeschicago.com

also on the local front…

Haberdash Mens Boutique on North Wells Street www.haberdashmen.com

Perchance on N. Southport Ave (one of my fave streets in Chi). Where did you hear about it before this… Right here on NINA KNOWS BEST! Chicago Collection called Perchance a “City Secret.” I would never keep a secret from my Loyal Readers!!I apologize for the lack of posting and commenting… It’s very hard to do when you are away from home (without an iPhone ;-) hah! Anyway, you can look forward to “What’s in my inbox today” and “Target Tuesday” tomorrow. Also, “Aunt Dorothy, we do and will miss you so much” will be published later this week when I can get the photos added to the post.

Thank you so much for your kinds words and comments about our loss. Thank you for continuing to read even though I’ve been a bit M I A. And, many thanks to my new Followers too! We are all glad to have you here with us… Welcome to the madness of fabulousness!!!

Hope that you have a good time here in the city of big shoulders.
Sorry about your aunts passing.
I have been to the Nina Yarn store–it is a good one. It gets cold here so I love to knit.

I ADORE your blog! I stumbled upon it about a month ago and I’ve been quietly reading:) Looking forward to your Target Tuesday post (Target is my favorite..probably because we don’t have them yet in Canada! I’m a southern girl living in the north!)

Nina, since you’re in Chicago and mentioned eating popcorn, I have to ask: are you eating Garrett’s Popcorn?

I’m also looking forward to Target Tuesday! I’m a Target fiend and planning a Target post on my own blog soon. If you’d be so kind, maybe I can have Target Thursdays–imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. : )

Sorry to hear about your aunt. It’s so hard to be away from family during times like this.

Sounds like a great evening, Nina! I hope you get some much needed rest. I have to second Allison’s question–is that Garrett’s popcorn your noshing on? That stuff is the best!
