Wishing you a Happy Spring, Finally!

It's been a long time coming...spring as well as my newsletter. I was in semi-hibernation mode with a rare case of writer's block.
Not that I haven't been busy. I worked on a bathroom renovation in Baltimore, on-site and via the Internet including picture-sharing on Pinterest. It was actually quite a lot of fun.
I volunteered at a Career Panel for the H.S. of Fashion Industries in Chelsea. I organized two Career Panels that included 11 of my most interesting and inspiring design colleagues telling their stories to over 30 of FIT's fabric styling students. It was virtually a collegial love fest. I was humbled by the talent surrounding me.
I went to Las Vegas in February as a speaker for IWCE Visions. My two programs, Design Directions & Trends and Accessories: Style & Substance were given to interior designers and others in the window coverings industry. What a wonderful opportunity to get to see what Vegas looks like now. After all I hadn't been there since I turned 21! I thought I would take a lot of photos of "the strip" and write an article about the hotels. I must say, I found the scale so big that I couldn't capture much with my camera. Let the hotel websites speak for themselves.
Good news. This month IWF-Visions is offering a series of webinars based on the Vegas conference seminars. I am pleased that both of my programs are on the bill. The first one Design Directions & Trends is scheduled for 4/17 at 11 am EST: the second on 4/30 at 11 EST is Home Accessories: Style & Substance. I hope you will tune in!
Best, Susan
