As Margaret criss crosses the country, east west, north south, she has LOVED her Chicago customers BEST!! With her busy schedule, she gets to Randolph Street Market only twice per season, in June and August. With one of the very best selections of vintage fabrics, whites, linens, lace, homespuns, grain bags, bark cloth and brocades, and authoress of the definitive book "Vintage Textured Barkcloth," visit Margaret's booth outdoors in the S Decorator section of the Market! |

Not even the nearly 90 degree heat could stop fairgoers from attending the Randolph Street Market July 28-29, located 1340 West Washington.
Weather is never an issue for those looking to find local, national and international treasures because of the Market's indoor and outdoor features. With over 200 vendors selling antiques, jewelry, clothing, furniture and food, there is something to satisfy everyone's needs. Forgot cash? No problem, there is always a cash station outside Plumbers Hall and many vendors accept credit cards. |

| Saffron Vintage was having trouble finding the perfect vintage summer caftans for clients so they decided to design and manufacture their own. Made of the finest gossamer art deco silk from India and assembled by their fine Italian tailor... these are a summer must have! We cannot wait to debut them at Randolph Street Market. Quantities are limited and since Saffron Vintage are using rare vintage silks, there will be no more than one or two in each design. They are priced at $375 each. |

| We've been in the bead business for years, and are so worn down and tired from an overly-saturated market. When my husband, who is from India, took me on my first buying trip 2 years ago, I found all of these fabulous items that I needed to bring home and share with the US market (sari borders, harem pants, beaded slippers, to name a few). Slowly we started growing our offerings, to include the antique African cloths, more handicrafts from India and Nepal, Thai accessories.....and it's ballooned from there. |

| Check out this one of a kind salon "Blo-Bar" made at the request of Jackie, the J in JstranD, a salon in City of Highwood, IL. (With the D for her partner Diane.) Jackie found Rick's booth at Randolph in May and almost instantly, had a vision for her salon's "Blo-Bar" hair drying station in an old section of scaffolding that he was using for display. She wanted it to be longer, 10 or 11 ft and use the old New England pine plank as a counter top, make it shorter, so that it was 32" at the top of the counter and then higher to support a mirror at the top. Get rid of the X's (supports) on the outside and make it so people can sit at it like a bar. WHAT A VISION! This is how it ended up. A piece that is 10.5 ft long and a little over 5 ft high, with a mirror on both sides. The salon is gorgeous as are the people that own it! |

| Back again with us this June market is our old and dear friend, Roger Krava, who is bringing with him a cache of artworks by German expressionist painter Peter Robert Keil. Robert Keil studied with Joan Miro for three years; and painted with Picasso, Dali and Andy Warhol during the 50's through the late 70's. His early as well current works have become highly collectible. He is being sponsored by a German consortium in Heidelberg, Germany for the next three years, which is publishing books, documenting all his works and creating video documentaries of his current work and retrospectives. |
