Family Affair
Kooky Pop-Up Shop Opens
Sing (and snap) to the tune of The Addams Family theme.
Gift buying can be spooky,
mysterious, and ooky.
It helps to take a looky at
the pop-up shop Kooky.
Local designers sell their
art, bags, and cute kids’ wear
(like Pluto and Juja Bear!) at
the pop-up shop Kooky.
Neat. Sweet. Petite.
For just two months it will stay,
in time for the holidays.
So be sure to find your way to
the pop-up shop Kooky.
Kooky, 3447 North Southport Avenue, at Newport Avenue, Lakeview (773-857-3447 or kookyshop.typepad.com). Open through December 24.
