love letters

claudia schwartz's

artistry never ceases

to amaze me.

her bell'occhio

has so clearly

influenced the art of our time-

it's really something perfectly

extraordinary. from the moment so

many of us first laid eyes on the shop,

sitting- still- on the small corner in the

city that seems- because bell'occhio is

there- suffused with magic, claudia's

amazing vision and brilliant artistry

has influenced our lives. it seems

to me that she is truly one of the

masters of our age, and i'd put

forth that the whole endeavor

and- most especially- it's

proprietress ought to be

considered one of our

national treasures.

brava, bell'occhio!

les bucoliques

honestly,

i'm starting to love linkedin;

think i've been on it forever,

and really pay little attention

to my profile (yikes, right?)...

but the most amazing people

turn up & then link to you &

what's not to love? above,

please meet the magnificent

Sarah Wels. i know of her

through her brilliant art and

the marvelous family that our

daughter stayed with when

studying in France (both

parents are wonderful

artists, and friends of Ms.

Wels). Fell in love with

Sarah's les bucoliques while

visiting Viv, & couldn't have

been happier when a few

lovely pieces found their

way to our Christmas tree.

All, simply gorgeous; just go see.
