Let’s Stitch… | Needlepoint Retreat 2017

Each year The Needlepoint Finisher and I go to the Needlepoint.com Retreat. The past two years, the retreat has been at the Needlepoint.com Shop in Raleigh, NC, and I love the excuse to stay at the beautiful Fearrington Inn.

One of the items in the shop finished by The Needlework Finisher.
This piece will be going to the Chelsea Flower Show.

Thank you so much for following along with The Avid Pen. Your support means the world to me.

I first started The Avid Pen, a Charlotte based lifestyle blog, as a place to celebrate the artistic world. As someone who has always had a love of color, I enjoy seeing the art in everything from beauty and skincare to fashion, food or in the places I travel to. I longed to tell a story both through words and through photographs.

I hope through following along with me you will see the beauty in the ordinary everyday moments.

Bonjour!
