We Will Always Have Paris

Postcards From Paris

This year's "Summer in Paris" retreat was an amazing experience.  I laughed until my sides hurt.  I made some wonderful new friends.  I renewed old friendships.  I ate too much chocolate and drank too much diet coke.  Here's a glimpse at our fantastic weekend:

The programs -- vintage ephemera all tied up with tulle!

 

 Romana's Gypsy Aprons (for those who weren't able to attend, you'll be able to get yours through my Etsy store soon!)

Lots & lots of shopping

Thanks to all who attended.  The gang & I are working on a "Retro Retreat" for next Spring... think vintage housewives and "Mad Men"...

Thanks to everyone who helped me set up (Amy -- special thanks for putting together ALL of those check-in packets).  Thanks to Jenny, Cenia & Suni for your slave labor.  My CraftChix, thanks for your unending support.  Lynne & Marirosa, thanks for letting me steal these photos.  And to my teachers, this retreat would have never happened without your fantastic classes. 
 
 
 
 

Photos of the Week: Sweet

 

My very good friend Marirosa (of Photography by Marirosa) recently took this shot of my girls.  Marirosa moved her studio to a beautiful Herndon barn.  I'm so jealous!  She has the ability to use the farm and rustic equipment for some amazing shots.

The picture makes them look so sweet.  HA!  I'm having it printed on a large canvas wrap for the entryway. 

She took this one too:

Again, the photo makes them look so sweet.  In real life, Baby A. threw a remote control at Baby G. last night, catching her right in the eye.  This led to hours of whining and crying.  From both.

Marirosa's photography is, as always, beautiful.  I'm thrilled that she'll be teaching at my upcoming "Summer in Paris" retreat.  I just had a last minute student cancellation in her "Every Day Photography" class.  If you're interested in learning more about taking great photos, drop me an e-mail at korie@wewillalwayshaveparis.com.   This was one of the first classes to sell out, so act quickly!!

2010 "Summer in Paris" Countdown!

 

I can't believe it is August already!  We're a mere 4 weeks away from our "Summer in Paris" getaway in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia.  There are a handful of seats available in some of the classes and I've increased the crop space to make room for additional croppers.

D.C. and Baltimore area gals looking to save some money can easily attend classes and the crop during the day & drive home in the evening.  Harpers Ferry, West Virginia is only one hour and ten minutes from Fairfax, VA or 48 minutes from Gaithersburg, MD or one hour and sixteen minutes from Baltimore, MD.  The crop is only $50 for all three days  -- a great price for a crop.

Eight amazing local teachers and eleven incredible classes in one weekend.  Don't miss out!

Photo of the Week: Charmed

I've been spending every minute of my non Stay-At-Home-Mom time prepping for August's "Summer in Paris" retreat.  I'm releasing descriptions & photos of the class samples next week, so I had to take a few minutes this week to finish up my own classes.  I'm really thrilled with my "Adventures in Wonderland" bracelet.  I can't wait to share it with you! 

Registration For 2010 "Summer in Paris" Retreat Scheduled

Registration for the 2010 "Summer in Paris" retreat will open at 12 noon EST on Saturday, March 20, 2010. 

I will be previewing the ten available classes next week, giving you time to pick & choose which classes you'd like to take.  Students who register for two or more classes will be able to sign up for a crop seat.  Please see my FAQs for additional information about the crop seats.

In order to fit in all of the offered classes and give everyone an opportunity to take classes this year, classes will be offered on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  Classes will also run simultaneously, so you may need to choose between classes.  If certain classes sell out, I may add additional times for those classes.

I can't wait!!
