The LucyBlue Knits Road Show
"Show season" is about to begin—that time of year when we visit various communities in the Chicagoland area, meet our customers in person, and give everyone the opportunity to see our products for themselves. At these events we have four times more inventory available than what we post online, so this is a great opportunity to inspect our quality and try our mittens on for size. Remember, all our products are originals and one-of-a-kind. We suggest you come early for best selection!
One of the things we love most about the shows we participate in is interacting with our customers in person. If you read our blogs, we'd really like to meet you! Mention that you're a blog reader at any of our shows and receive $5 off one product.
Here's the list of our upcoming events for October and November. We'll be back with another "road show" post in November to let you know where you can find us in December.
Nov. 3 (4–9pm) & Nov. 4 (10am–4pm): Seasonal Gifts at Elmhurst Wilder Mansion Holiday Market
The wonderful atmosphere of the Wilder Mansion creates a unique market environment. Our booth will be located on the main floor, just to the right of the front entrance. This market is also special because the mansion offers free samples of English toffee, bundt cake, hot sauce, and caramel corn! Admission is free.
Nov. 5 (11am–6pm): Oakbrook Mall Pottery Barn
This is a "pop-up" sale! We have been invited to sell our artisan mittens and 100 percent cashmere infinity scarves. We are very excited about this opportunity because we LOVE Pottery Barn.
Nov. 10 (4–10pm) & Nov. 11 (9am–4pm): Three French Hens Holiday Market,
Morris, Illinois
This outdoor market has the charm of a country fair. At our booth in the big tent, we'll have lots of wonderful wool mittens and cashmere scarves available, and the hot cider and chocolate next door will warm your insides. This market features a wide variety of handmade crafts and wonderful antiques, as well as a bakery barn with homemade treats. There is an admission fee. See website for details.
Nov. 17 (5–9pm), Nov. 18 (10am–5pm), & Nov. 19 (12–4pm): Evanston Women's Club Holiday Bazaar
This is a fabulous, well-run event with lovely gifts and foods on two floors. Enjoy a glass of wine at the Friday night preview party.
A special offer: If you have a sweater that's sentimental to you—maybe it belonged to a parent or grandparent and you can't wear it but don't want to throw it away—we can give it another life as mittens! Please bring your sweater to any of these events. We'd love to meet you, hear the story behind the sweater, and offer you a free, custom order consultation.
