Halloween- Sadie the Fairy Princess, part 2

We had a beautiful evening in Chicago for Halloween. Sadie loved walking around, holding onto candy and seeing all the kids in their costumes.

Last day at the studio

Sadie and her Mom played and made art for the last time in Kate's studio. The seeds of Sadie's creativity were planted at the Contemporary Art Workshop.
