From Mimi Kirchner’s blog:
“I’ve got a Tiny World class scheduled for April 30 and there is still space. I would love it if you could join in the fun. All the info is here, but these are the basics. You bring a tea cup and than get to play with all my materials and tools. Like my scallop scissors and my endless variety of felt and wool. It is loads of fun!”

This is a recent illustration for the Las Vegas Sun for an article about why businesses don’t want to come to Nevada.

“Hi, Lilla,
I sent you this blue image few weeks a go after I learned about the Japan Earthquake.
Now I made another drawing and made them into postcards.
I am selling them on Etsy now and will donate the money to American Red Cross for Japan relief.

Thanks for inspiring me to do this!”

“Hi Lilla!
The fabulous interior designer, Grace Hilton, recently posted her daughter Cordelia’s nursery makeover. Grace featured artwork from my “Home Sweet Home” collection along with Jonathan Adler accents, cheery toy boxes and a charming vintage mushroom lamp (must have!!!).
