Pattern and Color in Chinatown

Last week my mom came down to visit me and one of our new traditions is to visit Chicago’s Chinatown. We pick up a lucky elephant, tea and maybe a bite to eat. Being steps of the red line, it does feel like being in another country. Here are some fun colors and patterns I found while in Chinatown.   Photos by Orange Marigold    Read More

Chinatown Adventure

A couple weeks back my mom and I took the Red Line down to the Cermak/Chinatown stop and had completely walked into a new city. We ate Dim Sum, poked in and out of groceries, bakeries and tea shops. All of the colors, exotic foods and packaging and signage was so interesting and inspiring.  We also managed to bring a bunch of goodies home. It was quite the day.    Photos and design by Orange Marigold    Read More
