✨ MARKET ANNOUNCEMENTS
It’s a big market weekend for Anything Candle and you’re invited to two incredible Chicago events, each with its own magic! ✨🕯️
🎉 SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13 — Handmade Market’s 20th Anniversary
12 PM – 4 PM | The Empty Bottle (1035 N Western Ave)
I’m so excited to join Handmade Market as they celebrate 20 years of connecting Chicago’s most creative makers with the community! This long-running market is one of the city’s most beloved handmade events, featuring over 30+ local artists showcasing jewelry, clothing, art, crafts, candles, accessories, and more.
The Empty Bottle will have the bar open (mimosas encouraged 🍾), and Pizza Friendly Pizza next door is serving brunch. Come shop, sip, wander, and support local creativity.
This is the perfect cozy Saturday outing for anyone who loves handmade, unique, sustainable craftsmanship.
Free admission • All are welcome • 21+ encouraged but parents with kids welcome
