it's not every day we get gifts from those whose work we so greatly admire. i am unbelievably honored - baffled, really - to have received this gorgeous scarf today from chunghie lee.
interviewing her for korea quarterly was more of an experience than i ever thought i'd get. if you'd told me in the year i first found and admired her work that all this would happen you could have knocked me over with a feather.
i'm just so touched. also, you see that the wrapping paper here is also gorgeous - and in my two favorite colors no less.
an EXCELLENT mail day - not only this, but we also received our "invitation" to be fingerprinted for the department of homeland security (this, you do when bringing a new little citizen into the US), and even received our child abuse and criminal clearances for the adoption! it's quite a day in the dorko levin house!
