Chicago's 2014 One of a Kind Show and Sale Is Back at Merchandise Mart Dec 4-7th

ChiIL Mama's heading for a One of a Kind Show press breakfast and sneak peek, so check back like we vote in Chi, IL... early and often. We'll have a big, photo filled recap shortly.

With 600 talented artists, designers and craftspeople under one roof, you've got a good shot at crossing everything off your list in one fun afternoon.
