Did you see?! The Daily Tar Heel, the student newspaper at UNC, did an article about Ben Long in this week’s paper! UNC-system president Erskine Bowles chose Ben, a longtime friend, to paint his official portrait before Mr. Bowles leaves to work for the Obama administration.
Interested in seeing what Ben’s work looks like? Stop by our annex gallery (144 East Franklin Street, next to the store) to check out our exhibition featuring a number of his pieces.
Toots is still in France finding new treasures to bring back!
In addition to the jewelry and handbags she picked up last week, she’s bringing back soap from the Martin de Candre savonnerie in the Loire Valley, where she was visiting our good friends at the delightful Moulin Brégeon.
If you missed our last reception with Ben Long (or even if you didn’t!) be sure to catch him this Saturday:
