I treasure this picture. So Sarajo Frieden, (a brilliant artist I’ve had the privilege of representing for many years) and I are walking around LA and guess where we hop into? The famous store, Reform School, a shop that has curated some of the best art and gift out there for several years.
To our delight we see some prints by Mati Rose McDonough, another astounding artist I represent. Mati lives in San Francisco.
So for posterity I take a photo of two greats.

Ps. Sarajo is carrying a Susy Pilgrim Waters bag, a third artist I have loved representing since the early nineties.
Artists sharin’ the luv.
BTW, I have tons of shots of Sarajo’s amazing studio and home which I will blog soonish. You’ll love them.

Suzy writes:

“Lilla,
The Masha and Friends package reads, “display your dolls as a set or send them out on postal adventures”. I decided to take my Masha on an adventure to Sedona, AZ. Think Eastern Bloc meets the Wild West.

Masha enjoyed the natural beauty, local artistry and mud wraps, but was slightly winded on the hike up Cathedral Rock. It must have been the energy vortex. Aside from being a bit slow on the trail, she was a great companion. Enjoy the photos from our spirited journey together!” (Read Part I of Stationery Bliss here.)

Friday: Silvia Portella’s Studio

Our wonderful summer intern Nina writes us from NYU:

“Hi Lilla!

“Hi, Lilla!

I just found out my animal flash cards are featured in the Aug/Sept issue of Bust magazine. The feature is of Rachel Denbow’s home, she is a crafter and artist. She hung my cards with twine and clothes pins to decorate her son’s room.
