Back at the start of November Manual popped up at the late Autumn Renegade Craft in Chicago’s West Loop. 170+ vendors filled the lovely Morgan Manufacturing space and—despite being just days after the 2024 election—people really showed up for community and commerce. Seeing an eclectic cross section of Chicago walk through the show really helped me focus on the positive communities that surround us, despite the national moment. Thanks for that, Chicago. ❤️
