Weekends

This weekend was "move back to college" for my daughter Chloe. While it's bittersweet we are always excited for her and happy to adventure down to Boston. This trip we stopped by Mimi Kirchner's house for a visit and dinner with her family. Mimi makes art dolls.

She is one of the most talented people I know and an artist to the core. Their home is filled with art in every corner (except where their sweet cat Mango is) and stories galore. We always have fun when we get together! Mimi has created (among a zillion other accomplishments) a line of ornaments for West Elm last year. Her designs are incredible and her work so perfect down to the last detail that when West Elm mass produced them their charm still radiates from the designer Mimi! I got lucky too ...This little fox girl went home with me.

I am also very happy to report that Mimi will be back with us at Art {retreat} Camp this summer. Stay tuned this week for open registration and our new video! Mark your calendars for August 19-23rd! Among other things happening at ARC we will offer Mimi's popular "Little Worlds" pin cushion class. Everyone can make one of these with Mimi's teaching skills!
