Community
Oak Park is a village of remarkable architecture, creative energy, and strong neighborhood identity. Frank Lloyd Wright’s work, Hemingway’s birthplace, the Lake Theatre, Conservatory, and easy city connections make it a fascinating place to live and a rewarding destination for visitors.
The collaboration
The Oak Park Mug is now available at Blackberry Market in Oak Park. I love the way a neighborhood gathering place brings people together, and this partnership is a lovely way to share a mug that celebrates the places and details Oak Park holds dear.
Every detail began as a drawing by hand, from the village’s beloved architecture to its familiar gathering places. Whether Oak Park is home, a place you once lived, or somewhere you love to visit, I hope this mug brings a little of that connection to your everyday cup.
