hooray for chicago 7 Aug 2007

Hi everyone! My trip to Chicago was so much fun. Mostly spent eating and checking out shops I've loved from afar, it was a perfect trip. I visited a bunch of the recommendations given by readers which were so right on and incredibly helpful. Here are some small snippets from the trip...and, I'll be posting later today about one of my new favorite shops in Chicago...
