Have
I mentioned our artist-in-residence, my collaborator, partner in crime, BFF and
designer beyond extraordinaire ~ Karen Lampard of Café Paperie, lately?
She’s
been bringing in the most fascinating,
handcrafted, works of art ~ that never to cease to amaze ~ for almost two
decades now.
Not
to mention ~ All the fabulous themed events at the shop for the last 15 years have
begun and ended with her.
She
is a designer, artist, craftsman, seamstress, creator and master of all trades
and
on top of that ~ she has the most humble heart
and soul on earth.
Her
creations, both grand and petite, have
to be seen to be believed.
Months
before each shop event, we meet, talk, laugh, strategize ~ and then see where
our thoughts and dreams will take us. The fun is always in the banter ~
and
where it goes from there.
When
planning these events ~ we never know when we’ll strike it hot but,
somehow,
we always do ~
Usually
it’s something she says that triggers the whole theme.
Then
I ask, “Can you make a thousand of those?”
She
laughs nervously…
What
would I do without her?

see summer 2019 unveiled ~ thru Karen’s brilliant imagination ~
