The highly respected Clinton Smith called me last Friday with some "terribly exciting news". I was shocked. My hands were shaking as I took down the information. I wanted to scream, but I resisted (probaby a good choice). Jared opened the door and I mouthed the words, "I won"! His eyes said it all. I could hear him running, telling other people...and everything seems kind-of blurry from there on out.
Check out the official announcement here!!!
It has been a week full of anticipation and appreciation. I was struck by the friendliness of the judges, their ease of conversation, their graciousness. I am thrilled they have chosen me! I am honored to represent DesignSherpa in Paris and at Maison de Objet.
My mind has been reeling. I have lots of exciting plans...and soon a big exciting announcement as well (although this is pretty hard to top) so stay tuned......
