| It's February, which means although temperatures are cooling down, passions are heating up as we enter the month of love. This past weekend marked the beginning of Randolph Street Market's 2012 season with the first winter market, Passions and Vanities. Hundreds of Chicagoans and dedicated out-of-towners bundled up and braved the cold in order to hunt for treasures amid a glittering wonderland of vintage jewelry, timeless antiques, and couture fashion all under one roof at the historic Plumber Hall. In keeping with this month's amorous theme, we trolled the market for furniture to cozy up in, décor to set the mood, and housewares to make the fashion lovers in all of us swoon. |

| These guys really know how to merge beauty, art and electricity with their one of a kind green designed pieces! Electric Apparatus is an independent designer and manufacturer of electronic functional
art. With product packaging being one of the most common forms of waste,
the focus on creative re-purposing of discarded containers is essential
to reducing the collective environmental fingerprint. Our refuse
transmogrifications are stylish, interactive, and sturdy, without
breaking the bank. |

| Pavilion is the 14 year, collective vision of Deborah Colman and Neil
Kraus. Their long standing interest in art and design and frequent
buying trips to Europe, have allowed them to offer items not easily
found in Chicago. An eclectic mix of smalls, textiles, folk art,
popular culture objects, vintage toys, collected along the way, will be
offered for the first time at the Randolph Street Market. |

| If you have a passion for rock n' roll, pop culture, and dorm room
enhancements, you will definitely want to stop by the lower hall of
Plumbers Hall and visit the best selection of vintage, signed, hard to
find vintage rock concert and popular culture posters. You might even
run into Elvis himself! Hundreds of promo, concert, and commercial music posters from the 1970s through now. Best show selection in the country. Great service and reasonable prices. |

|
| Let's be honest. You're first thought is: Photoshop! Clearly this is
another crazy publicity ploy by the people who brought you talking dogs,
Martha Stewart's real estate woes and nudist antique dealers. Oh, that Danny & Sally: Short of setting one another on fire, what won't
these two do for attention? (Wait, they did that already. Damn!) |

| The holiday season is the season of the senses. It’s the smell of freshly baked apple pie, the sound of fires crackling and children caroling, the sight of twinkling lights and New Year’s kisses. Luckily for Chicago, a festive feast for the senses was under one roof this past weekend at Randolph Street’s Holiday Market. Crowds of sweater-clad and scarf-adorned shoppers got cozy with a plethora of merchants offering vintage and modern goods to add a touch of style to all aspects of the holiday season, from entertaining and décor to gift giving and outfit accessorizing. |

| The Randolph Street Holiday Market features an Editor’s Entertaining Extravaganza, a festive table showcasing designs by Chicago’s top media outlets including Lisa Shames of CS, Tate Gunnerson of Strange Closets, Jaye Gipson of Curvatude, Jessica Murnane of Country Living, Nicole Balch of Making it Lovely, Elle Eichinger of Michigan Ave, Stacey of Asortoffairytalegirl.blogspot.com and Arianne Nardo of Interiors magazine. The Table will be on display all weekend long providing drool-worthy inspiration for all shoppers. |

| I LOVE glass, especially glass dangles from French gripoix to Miriam
Haskell beads, Czech Gablonz glass to antique paste stones. The art of
blowing glass just captivates me. I also love American Arts and Crafts,
British Arts and Crafts and Jugendstil pieces. |

| As a devout believer in the power of thrift, Eva Kisevalter isn’t parted
so easily from well-worn woolens. Recognizing that vintage goods
possess a certain je ne sais quoi, but that moth-eaten holes detract
from the charm, Kisevalter founded Stella Neptune, a collection of
sweaters made entirely from preloved cashmere. And if your favorite
cardi has succumbed to a holey plight, have no fear. Stella Neptune also
designs reclaimed-cashmere appliqués (in the shape of leaves,
Band-Aids, and ironically, moths) that can be ironed onto chewed-on
knits for an instant revamp. |

RANDOLPH STREET MARKET WINS TIMEOUT CHICAGO'S 2011 READERS' CHOICE AWARD, BEST RECURRING MARKET! 10/28/2011
|
| Style Editor Kevin Aeh raves: "You know the phrase There’s something for everyone? It might have been coined for this massive shopping fest. The European-style market (with monthly indoor-outdoor dates May through September and indoor-only markets the rest of the year) features furnishings, vintage clothing, jewelry, collectibles and more. Many of the booths are separated into categories within the market: Chicago Antique Market, Indie Designer Market and Modern Vintage. But that’s not all: Randolph Street Market (located in the parking lot of the Plumbing Industry Center and the Chicago Journeymen Plumbing building) is also home to a holiday market, a vinyl swap meet, a fancy-food market and a global-goods bazaar. Yes, it’s a lot to take in. But we dare you to stroll through this treasure trove and not end up making a purchase or five." |

| October is harvest month. A time to reap the benefits of weeks of hard work dedicated to cultivating something beautiful. So it is incredibly fitting that throngs of Chicagoans and fashion lovers from near and far flocked to Chicago’s Near West Side to experience the cornucopia of colors that is Modern Vintage Chicago (MVC). More than 70 vendors from fashion hubs as disparate as North Carolina and Santa Monica came together last weekend, bringing with them the cream of their crops: the best vintage apparel, accessories, and jewelry that they have to offer from such cannonical names as Chanel, Coach, Dior, and Pucci. |
