a picture perfect weekend in st. charles, minus the sour economy. the trees were filled with orange and the weather was warm and sunny. those of you in the chicago area please do yourself a favor and take a day trip over to lola b's. kacey has a beautiful set up. i wish i had had more time to shop. if you can't make it over to see the shop in person, you can now shop online. have lunch at the town house cafe.
{i borrowed some photos because mine were just okay}
i was at lola b's for a trunk show. i brought my jewelry. these lovely gals brought goodies from their shops.
vanna from le papier studio has custom paper goods. need a baby shower gift? i love the silhouettes.
Alyssa is the artist behind revamp boutique. she makes custom drawer pulls, rebound vintage book journals and custom mirrors and bulletin boards from vintage frames.





Hey there friend! It was lovely to finally meet you in person, and you were SO much fun. Your lovely sister Brooke also:)

I would like to visit this place. I visited a lot of souvenir and jewelry stores around the world in my travellings and what I see from your post - Lola b's shop is very nice place to come. I have a great collection of jewelries and I'm shore I could find there some more amazing items.
