Another fun activity might be to sift through all your child's art work and select one for framing. Since many parents continually accumulate what my friend, Ellen Luckett Baker, calls a critical mass of kids' drawings, it's tempting not to commit to a permanent frame. But every few years, when budget allows, framing one work in a refined "grown-up" gallery-worthy frame is a lovely thing to do. My grandparents did this for us. Besides validating the child's feelings, sometimes you end up with an interesting addition to your collection.

I am glad to know I am not the only one skipping the big game...I have a museum outing of my own planned! Cheers.
Janet -- enjoy!
So funny that you mentioned this and showed Eva's drawing. My parents are coming on Sunday and we are headed to the High.
I've been meaning to ask you -- have you ever written a post about Marimekko or Liberty of London? I'd love to suggest these for future topics.
Hey Ellen -- funny I was going to credit Eva but wasn't sure about giving out her name :)
Anyway, I think you will like this past post from Style Beat:

And I need to do research and see if there's any history left to cover that other bloggers have not yet done. Thanks for the input!
