An article\/interview about me was published in my local weekly paper and is online <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wickedlocal.com\/arlington\/news\/lifestyle\/x1070006296\/Mimi-Kirchner-and-the-art-of-doll-making\">here<\/a>.

Firstly, although I brought my camera, I forgot to take any photos- typical. She did not forget and did <a href=\"http:\/\/kleas.typepad.com\/kleas\/2010\/05\/beautiful-friday.html\">this lovely post<\/a>.
