White Nest's customizable "I Heart My City" 6 x 8-inch embroidery will be for sale at an Etsy event in West Elm on Saturday.

This Saturday is your chance to shop all your favorite Chicago-based Etsy shops without being anywhere near a computer. That’s because the West Elm store at 1000 W. North Ave. is turning into a huge Etsy pop-up shop from 1 to 6 p.m.



Curated by Jessica Jones of the local design and crafts blog How About Orange, it is basically an afternoon of arts, crafts, and fun. Jones picked her favorite Etsy sellers from around Chicago and they are all setting up booths for you to browse their handmade wares.



Participating sellers include some of our favorites: White Nest (whose embroidery is shown above), Up in The Air Somewhere, and Kissen Studio. There will also be a DJ, handmade sodas, mini desserts, and a photobooth.
