melissa ash, public relations for u.s. cellular coliseum is exhibiting the facility use features near the 50 yard line. i asked melissa how things are progressing for the coliseum.

local jewelry designers take to market






summer craig, a state farm employee by day, a jewelry designer by otherwise. I'm starting to think a prerequisite in h.r. must be a desire to multi task. quite coincidentally i keep running into art and design people at events where when i ask if they have a day job, the answer is state farm. its great to know you really can have it both ways.






summer craig and her partner designer sister-in law kristie craig have been launching their jewelry line for abut 18 months. summer tells me they do mostly art shows, home shows, and has a home party system. www.bbellissimo.com what could be an interesting twist to the marketing endeavor is the very well known mark shale chain located in many major markets including mag mile in chicago is carrying their line. so accessorize in bn style. summer attended b.h.s. and isu.
