Art with a Heart at West Elm
Tuesday, September 30, 2014
One of the unexpected and happy results from the 2011 St. Louis City Guide that I wrote for DesignSponge* is my friendship with Darraugh. She was moving to St. Louis from Florida and because of my DesignsSponge contribution, contacted me with some questions about St. Louis. We continued emailing, she moved here, we met, and we've been friends ever since. She's got impeccable taste, is totally down-to-earth, and is just a genuinely sweet and sincere person. Her partner Bob is an awesome guy too, so we've gone on dinner dates a few times, but not nearly as often as we'd like. One of the first places the four of us went together was an annual fundraiser for Turner Center for the Arts and we were all blown away with how great it was. (More here and here.) Darraugh is the Visual Merchandising Manager at West Elm and has put together a fundraiser for the artists of Turner at West Elm. I think this is a fantastic idea and can't wait to go. Congrats to my dear friend and I hope you consider supporting Turner.
