Logan Square Kitchen is presenting a Valentine’s Day Pastry Market—a delicious one-day-only event (February 13th from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) that will give Chicagoans a taste of the underground, small batch, sustainable pastry, cake, ice cream and handmade confections scene.
All the local food artisans showcased at this unique event are dedicated to delicious pastry and confection creations. Attendees can purchase treats to take home for their Valentines or simply devour these amazing sweet and savory creations on the spot!
WLS-TV’s Steve Dolinsky offered viewers a sneak peek of this delicious event and talked about it on his WBEZ/Vocalo blog
Janet Fuller at the Chicago Sun-Times also gave the Pastry Market a mention
Jacky Runice thought it was worth the trip for her suburban readers
Hope to see you there!

“The perfect storm…”
Those words can mean different things to different people. To our client, Cleetus Friedman, owner of City Provisions Catering & Events, it is a perfect storm of steady media mentions, articles and praise raining down on his business and the waves of new business that are following in its wake.
For Solstice Communications, it is the combination of a fantastic client with an amazing “product” and a media mentality that is tuned to our station. Buzz begets buzz…but it is the substance underneath it all that keeps the storm rolling.
Have a look at some of the highlights…

Earth Day is a big holiday around our office. We approach it as sort of a New Year’s Day (minus the hangover). For us it is a time to resolve to do better; resolve to take an extra step or two if will help save a few precious resources.
This year Earth Day also brings with it a cause for celebration: Our client, City Provisions, is a finalist in the Sustain Illinois competition in the Innovative Sustainable High Growth Product/Service Category. City Provisions will compete with five other fiinalists for a $10,000 cash prize to be used to further increase their sustainability and to reinforce their pledge to keep their footprint small. Good luck, City Provisions!
If you are looking for ways to mark this holiday in Chicago with your own celebration (and get to know some of our clients a little better…), City Provisions Earth Day Supper Club is tonight–featuring dishes inspired by music. This Saturday (April 25th) the Center for Cultural Interchange is looking for volunteers to help them “adopt” Ohio Street Beach for a Beach Clean-Up at 10 a.m., or if you would like to sample some organic beer, wine and chocolate while learning to be an eco-responsible urbanite, check out Greenheart’s all-day extravaganza: Living La Vida Verde.
Whatever you do to celebrate our favorite holiday, just rememeber small changes can really add up to much, much more!
