A beautiful day to celebrate and honor Charity & Sylvia: a same-sex couple who lived in Weybridge, VT in the early 1800’s! The unveiling of the new roadside historic marker honors their love for each other. Proud to support friends from LGBTQ+ community and more inclusive storytelling.

For Valentines, my husband treated me to dinner at the Waybury Inn (known for being the Inn from the Bob Newhart show). The only acceptable ending to this lovely evening is if we wake up in the morning in our old apt. in Queens, realizing the whole past few weeks was a totally ridiculous dream.

Nice to have a photo feature in VT Arts Council Annual Report FY24, highlighting the Project grant we received to support a series of knitting workshops with East African woman, held at AALV in Burlington. Super excited to see these amazing women tomorrow night at our first meeting of the new year.

It was a pleasure hosting students from BTV City & Lake Semester this past Monday. Students learned about the historically unsafe working conditions at textile mills and shared their personal experience with labor regulations. We also talked about current child labor issues around the globe.
