This is my new favorite store!

Fortunate Discoveries displays local, Chicago fine artisans, designers & specialty retailers (fashion, clothing, pottery, accessories…) in Lincoln Park, just a couple blocks west of Sheffield (and the Brown/Purple el stop) on Armitage. Being a creative person myself, I really appreciate all the different types of products sold in this store and a plus, it supports fellow, creative Chicagoans.

I discovered Fortunate Discoveries a couple weeks ago, walking home from the Armitage el. I decided to take a slightly different route home and found this unique shop. It has beautiful, unique jewelry, great art, awesome pottery, and some really great gift ides! I ended up buying a cool looking ring, fun pot holders for a friend (who loves to cook) and a vase for my living room. I plan to go back again and again.  I also will like to check out their First Fridays which is the First Friday of every month, later store hours, wine, art/design and mingling with some of the artists and vendors.

It is just a couple blocks West of Sheffield, so I fear that it is just off the beaten shopping path, people may miss it.  I would love for this place to succeed, so check it out! It just might be your new favorite store too!
