She's beyond talented, organized, patient and kind.. she's made the whole process easy and fun! I had high hopes for these details, and Catherine has exceeded them. Not only is she talented but her organization and etiquette details have been so helpful for a somewhat scatterbrained bride to be.. can't recommend Catherine and Charm Studio enough.. your expectations will be far exceeded!

There is some high-level, elegant but quiet artwork for sale hung on the south wall but nothing that shrieks at you. A beautiful contemporary tapestry on view in a side room was done by an artist whose work is in the collection of the Art Institute! Lovely, small ceramic pieces there would make great little gifts. I love the place. Beautiful, friendly, competent. I would not go anywhere else.

I was trying to buy a card. He sold it for $25 and then later that week I looked up the card to see…read morehow much it was worth. It turns out the owner of bleachers scammed me when the card was really worth four dollars. after knowing this, I went to a different card shop and then this man was so helpful. I do not recommend bleachers card store unless you find the perfect price and search up the card before you buy but even then the owner of bleachers card store is probably not gonna let you buy it for the price that it really he's trying to make money by scamming people. But I went here once and this manager was helpful, but I don't think he really paid attention to what the card was really worth knowing that maybe if I go back another time he will help me more and if I look it up, he might accept the actual pricing but so far knowing what I know I got scammed I might try it one more time and see how it goes. Maybe is different or framing something but all I know is I don't expensive they're not worth. Maybe if I went back again it will be a lot different of an experience and I might drop a five star.

So your local theater is closed, the mall is too dangerous, and your favorite symphony has been…read morereduced to digital noise. Now, right now, is the time to bravely walk into an art gallery and get acquainted with a few creative souls whose livelihoods are jeopardized by our present pandemic. Find a gallery whose artists enrich your soul, whose works belong in your home. Get to know their work. Buy a few pieces. My personal favorite is Zia Gallery in Winnetka. Zia's small space houses the work of 19 extraordinary artists. I have followed their works for several years, have purchased a few pieces, and cherish every opportunity to see new additions. Without fail, my visits there are enriched by talking to Anne Hughes, who not only can illuminate her own creative process, but is as intimately familiar with every other artist's work as with her own. Visit Zia's website to see examples. Then adopt one of their artists. You don't have to spend a fortune. The pieces I have bought at this gallery have ranged from $200 to $1200 and I cherish them. Others I've admired cost much more. Buy what you can afford, but don't let these vibrant galleries die. Just. Do. It.
