Did you hear about June 27? 11am to 4pm E S Q U I N A c h i c a g o hosts another art market complete with some amazing makers from Chicago.

AND there will be an ESQUINA CHICAGO T Shirt DROP!! >>> Limited quantities & sizes so grab one early.

$30 or $25 with any art or jewelry purchase at the shop/art show.

We will let the design be a surprise but let me say the color ways are very good and the support you all give to DIY community spaces like Esquina should be worn like a badge of pride!

Show the world some love for our little corner, our Esquina, our place to connect.

Props to anna for putting the market together!

See ya June 27!

At some point this weekend we lost our "W" on the Follow The Ant sign...

Our booth neighbor Thomas from Simon's Tavern noticed it Friday night and showed up Saturday with a handmade W that he cut out of paper himself after measuring the letters on the sly...

That's him talking music with TK in the second slide - he happens to also be a jazz musician as well as an artist and bartender and all around kind human!

So we have this new letter "W" from a new friend for a new festival season ahead! We just had to share. These are the reasons we continue to sell at festivals...because of the many opportunities to experience humanity at its best!

Much love from the entire Ant crew to each of you who stopped by, helped in the booth, brought us slushies, helped close the booth down, or just popped over to say hello. We love every thoughtful contribution from a handmade W to a heartfelt hug.

Thanks again to our fest neighbors Simon’s Tavern & T X T I L E and the

The moment at the fest when we all got emotional sharing stories of Mile, our Serbian neighbor who recently went back home after 30+ years in Chicago.

He used to visit us in the shop, bring us Turkish coffee, or a cup of ice cream or a sweet potato or share some Slivovitz and stories with us.

We are glad he is home with his family but will miss his daily visits or waves as he passed by the store. Meeting people because of the shop is always a joy but there is also a little pain when someone leaves. Happy we all got a moment to toast to him yesterday.

May you be well Mr. Mile! Enjoy the soccor and the fresh air on the farm. Hope your wife made your favorite stuffed peppers! Til we meet again.

These 2 held it down tonight. They show up. They stand up. They work multiple jobs and give all their energy. You may not know everything about them, but I can tell you they are worldly ans wise and what makes this world a better place.

Small businesses like Nomadic Ant depend on small contributions from many...we got no big money behind us. We just find big thinkers, big energy humans who love to show up because it gives us a place to connect with more and more people and learn and share and make new friends.

It was a heavy weekend for us. And these two (and celeste and robust and all of you who stop by to check in) really stepped up so TK and I could dip out to where we needed to be for a few hours.

Just wanna send my love to this crew once again. We are here because you all keep showing up.

Sunday we will be open!!
Bre in shop 12 to 5ish...
Rian and Suz at fest 11 to 9pm...
And all the crew who just pop in will be around and if you can make it by, please come see us.

Also big thanks to Scott and the crew Simon’s Tavern who looked after us like family. Good night sweet city. Until tomorrow. Thanks for not raining on us til 10pm!

It’s so fun to see what catches people’s attention. And in this case is was particularly exciting because 𝓝𝓲𝓪𝓱 is a highschool friend of mine in town just in time for Midsommar fest in Andersonville!

We will have our booth from 11-10pm today and 11-9pm tomorrow!
So come on over and see what’s new!

Getting ready for Midsommar fest starting tonight at 5pm in Andersonville and running through the weekend 11-10 on Saturday and 11-9 on Sunday!

We’re excited to start leaking out the newest editions to the store! Suzanne has been traveling for the past few months looking for some of your favorite designs and even curating a new selection of unique pieces for you to expand your expression! Loving these delicate flowers on my good friend 𝓝𝓲𝓪𝓱 who is visiting all the way from Florida! 🏝️☀️

So whether you’re stopping in the store, or scoping out our booth at the festival, we hope you’re enjoying this beautiful weather.

Maximalist has been our style preference since forever. Happy the rest of the world is catching up!

I was just telling a customer a story about how I wore big neon earrings in grade school when most of the kids wore tiny diamonds & pearls. I already knew I would have jewelry in my life forever, and the bigger and bolder the better.

Seems to be a lot of influences talking about jewelry trends for summer being bigger statement pieces, stacked bangles, chunky rings and oversized earrings. Well...we are here for it. Have been for years.

;) pop in to see what we have or visit our booth at Midsommarfest in Andersonville this weekend.

We might close the shop Sat/Sun so we can have our entire crew at the fest!

Booth is at Clark and Farragut.
