i think my lovely guest has sent me her interview… about two weeks ago (yes yes, friends, i work on a very busy and organized schedule!) and in the very moment i read it, i felt excited about posting it!! it is so interesting and filled with delicious details… details behind one of the ladies that is frequently present on my stream… always with daily inspirations and beautiful things to share!
…and i also must confess that i had a little problem reading her “name”… i always read it in such a different way… and it is sooo simple. do you know who is this lady? maybe you’ll find out with this smile…

“Hi! I’m Brittni Mehlhoff and I am the editor and owner of papernstitch the blog and papernstitch the exhibition site.”
so… miss brittni is our lovely guest here… and let’s hear what she has to say about number’s and soft memories…
Number :: 10
Let’s see… When I was ten, I was in the 4th grade. That year for Christmas my parents got me and my brother our very own cats. One for each of us: Ginger and Clara. We were both so surprised because we had been asking and asking and they kept saying no. But it turns out, they had had it planned for months.
On Christmas morning, after we had opened all our presents, my mom handed us one more. A small box and said, “it’s for both of you.” Inside the box, was a tiny note. It was a clue to where we would find our next box. Our parents sent us on a little treasure hunt, searching for clues around the house, until finally we were at the last one. “Close your eyes and open your arms.” And that’s how we got our cats. It was great.
Letter :: E
Well, I have two. I hope that is okay. E is for Eva. Eva Hesse: an amazingly talented artist who I was borderline obsessed with when I was in college. One of my favorite professors introduced me to her work, and I was just enamored by her story and the body of work that she produced in her short life, particularly her sculptures.
And completely switching gears, E is also for Eclair. I have a major sweet tooth and will pretty much eat anything that is covered in sugar. I know its wrong, but I guess that’s just part of the fun.

A perfect day is when I…
... have nothing to do, no obligations for work, and the sun is shining through the window.
One thing I would love to learn is…

… how to play the piano. My dad use to play when he was a kid, and from what my grandma has told me, he was pretty great. I was always very musical growing up; loved to sing and entertain people. But as time went on, I just kind of lost that spark. And now I wish I would have never let it go.
Would you rather be an english woman in New York, or a New Yorker in England?

This is a tough one. But I guess I would have to say a New Yorker in England, considering I’ve never been to England. Sounds like an adventure.
