Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

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!

CafePress the biggest online destination for self-expression through user-designed products, and SIGG, manufacturer of premium Swiss-engineered reusable beverage bottles, have teamed up to satisfy consumer appetite for customization by offering easy and instant personalized SIGG bottles. The cool new design tool allows you to get your eco-chic freak on and make it all your own.  There are several rolling around our offices.

But that’s not all that CafePress has going on…they are offering a select line of patriotic, 4th of July designs that are fun and fashion-forward but also give a little back to the men and women who put their lives on the line every day–Our Troops. A portion of the proceeds from each sale goes to Operation Gratitude, an organization dedicated to showing our appreciation for those who serve. So you can show your true colors and help bring a little happy to a soldier this Independence Day.
