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.

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.
Want to get in touch? Just send me a note via the contact page, or DM me on Instagram @theavidpen
Merci beaucoup!
... and merci, beaucoup for joining me in this space as I share about beauty/skincare, food, style, and travel inspired by my love of art and all things French.
