Megan Lee Designs at West Fest & Pitchfork

Hey there,

This year has flown by - I can't believe its been a year since the last West Fest and Pitchfork!! These are two of my favorite shows because everyone is out and ready to have a good time. We will be CERTAINLY ready for a good time this weekend because we are moving to Berwyn this Friday (we got a house!) and then doing the West Fest show the next two days. Ah, the life of a crafter. Then, the next weekend is Pitchfork/Coterie on Friday - Sunday. Some things to look for in my booth: manta rays, dachshunds riding unicycles, new "IL love you forever" Illinois t-shirt, whooping crane tunic & t-shirt, pug t-shirt & tote, new style of peacock dress, seahorses...the list goes on! Oh, and LOTS of sale items...

West Fest
Booth 36 - South side of Chicago Ave. between Wolcott and Wood
Saturday and Sunday from noon - 10pm (July 10-11)

Pitchfork Mustic Festival / Coterie Chicago
I'll be in the big white tent along with the record fair near the back of the festival
Friday, Saturday & Sunday (July 16-18)

And last, but not least, my new website is finally live. I have a shop and lots of info about where to find me in stores, etc. Its pretty new, so if anything seems wonky feel free to drop me a line about it and I'll fix it right away.

I've had fun this year traveling the country for some great shows, but I'm glad to be back in Chicago for a few summer months and selling to all of my favorite Chicagoans. Hope to see you one of the next two weekends!

- Megan (designer, maker, jack-of-all-trades.), Erik (inventory nazi & booth helper) & Heika (cute inspiration)

If you're looking for something to do tomorrow in Chicago come on out to the Empty Bottle for "Keep it Local," an event that was created to support local artists, musicians, comedians and designers of all kinds. Its from noon-6 and is $10 at the door — all proceeds go directly to the bands/artists. There will also be a fashion show featuring local designers. Fun!

Silkscreening on wood

This was a really cool project I got to work on this past week. My friend Megan is the design director at Conifer Research and they just moved locations. She needed someone to silkscreen these signs that are made from a reclaimed silver maple. The imagery is based on different type of conifer trees and were by Sasha from Conifer's design team. It was my first time screenprinting on wood, and there was definitely some trial and error involved, but in the end I think they turned out great!

The Spring show is tomorrow

This is a little last minute, but I still wanted to mention a great show that I will be participating in tomorrow to kick-off the show season. Its called "The Spring Show" and takes place up in Ravenswood in Chicago, from 10am - 5pm at Architectural Artifacts (a beautiful antique store/showcase with an event space as well).

I've been super busy printing lots of new designs for men, women, and babies and haven't had time to update my etsy shop, so you'll be seeing lots of new items if you can make it to the show tomorrow. For all of you out-of-towners the Etsy site (and a new Megan Lee Designs website) will be updated soon. I'm actually having a second photoshoot today to document the rest of my spring and summer line, thanks to John Caruso, an amazing photographer friend.



Thanks for all the support and for buying handmade!

- Megan
