So, first order of business:
labricoleuse will ostensibly be on hiatus for the month of July. I'm spending July in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and though there might be a couple things topical that come up, i don't expect to have a lot of time or fodder for the type of things i typically post here. I might have a link or two to share, so don't forget to
like La Bricoleuse on Facebook. If you like, you can follow my sporadic
travelogue on Blogspot, and i'll catch you all in August!
At some point, i'll write up the exhibit properly, but for now, here are some photos from the exhibit American High Style at
the Brooklyn Museum.
