Independents' Day

Independents' Day Andersonville just keeps getting better for home shopping. The latest addition to the strip, Andersonville Galleria, is an antique-mall-style collection of about 50 indie vendors, offering art photography, apparel, jewelry, gourmet food, furniture, and home accessories. The 20-some home-centric booths include a second outpost of Figaro, a home furnishings and accessories store with a Parisian bent; Soleluna, an import company that specializes in vividly colored handmade Latin American textiles; Marrakesh Treasures, a second location of the Andersonville-based Moroccan import shop; and Rag and Bone, offering refinished vintage furniture. 5247 N. Clark St., 773-878-8570.
