Local Happenings

Here’s what’s happening…

Local friends!

This evening I’ll be up in Westport, CT at Bespoke Designs.

It’s a low key grand opening of Shari’s chic new shop.

If you’re not already familiar, Shari has an amazing bespoke stationery business and has now expanded into home decor.

Stop by for a cocktail or two, check out some art and of course, Shari’s highly curated mix of home decor accessories – which I just know you’re going to LOVE!

And, speaking of local events….

I’m thrilled to have two pieces in the “She is Rising” art exhibit happening now until June 6th at the Carriage Barns Arts Center in New Canaan.

This is a juried exhibit featuring work that is an expression of female power.

The exhibit is in partnership with GoLiveGirl, and proceeds raised will help provide year round leadership development and mentoring for girls in Connecticut.

I’ll be sharing both events over on Instagram at @suedechiara – so be sure to follow along!

Hope to see you!

On the one hand, the house is now pretty much done – in the sense that we can comfortably stay there…

On the other hand, I’ve only just begun to “decorate.”

We’ve now reached my favorite part of the whole project – the art, accessories and all the details aka “zhushing.”
