A wonderful event. The interview with Maria Pinto was great. But best of all, l
I got my Mrs. O book autographed not only by Mary Tomer, but also by Maria Pinto and Peter Soronen. I'm over the moon. Thank you!
Wow Mrs.A, now that's a real treat! Congratulations, I'm so happy for you. I look forward to more info on tonight's event.
she was a really fun interviewee, wasn't she! good job, mary! i asked the question about her relationship to color... i do love her commitment to vibrant jewel tones and can't wait to visit her boutique next time i'm in chi-town.
Wonderful! Thank you both Mrs. A and Glenise for attending! What a thrill and great crowd. Maria Pinto is incredibly personable ... and funny! I hope you both enjoyed.
Charlene in Detroit, I will be sure to share the video from the event once the Cooper Hewitt posts it.
PS: Mary 'Mrs. T' was wearing a dress that I would swear was designed by Mr. Soronen. Hope there are pics to share with everyone of that lovely frock.
It was a Peter Soronen dress!!! Heavenly!
I'm trying to track down photos from last night.
I thought Maria Pinto's statement that "timing is all" is so true. Whether it is us, as artists looking for inspiration or as business people looking for the next step for our business, the timing of events can make all the difference!

I am anxiously awaiting photos of you at the event. Also, want to know how many books you signed that night and was it your first signing event. I check out your Website every day.
