i’m a little sleepy from this west coast jet lag but i wanted to say good morning and thank everyone who came out to last night’s LA biz ladies meetup, which was incredible! i can’t get over how many of you came out- thank you to everyone, to design within reach (thanks, susie and co!) and to our incredible speakers: lindsay at smith barney, tanya aguiniga and billie and tootie of reform school. if you’re looking to download the notes from the PR/marketing portion of last night’s talk they’re right here. thanks again and to everyone who’s not in LA- stay tuned- i may be adding two more surprise cities this summer because of some personal traveling i’m doing. i’ll be announcing those in the next few weeks when i’ve hammered out the details.

i also wanted to share this beautiful cut-paper installation from helen friel- a student designer from central saint martins in london. helen specializes in illustration and cut paper and these pieces were part of a recent school project. i couldn’t get over the beautiful cuts in each piece and had to share them as i pack up and get ready to head to the airport. click here for more information on helen’s work.

i have to say how grateful i am for last night… grace: you were a pleasure to listen to… truly useful information about press for the little guy. You were concise and relevant. Although I ate one too many chocolate chip cookies, i met some very interesting women, and have been reinspired to be an artist living in los angeles. thank you for the generosity of spirit…. i look forward to the next time.

Thank you for having such an inspiring event in LA!! It was wonderful… and full of useful information. Thank you Thank you!! I posted about the event on my personal blog with some pictures… I hope it was alright :)

Thank you so much for such a fun and inspiring evening! I wish all events allowed us to sit on Eames and enjoy baked goods … and hello, what about a collection of the cutest ladies ever!

What a wonderful night. Thank you!

Absolutely beautiful. I can see that her work is really very detailed and perfect. She has really captured the essence of the pigeon. The cutouts remind me of when they sit on the wall and the wind ruffles their feathers. I love this.

Thank you, Grace for organizing such a great night for us L.A. ladies. It was so inspirational and informative. And great to meet you in person! And thanks DWR for the lovely setting and the guest speakers for sharing their stories.

Thanks Grace for your concise and really informative talk last nite–I can’t wait to down load your notes!! (thanks for making them). Everyone there was so helpful, I didn’t want it to end–we were just getting started!
