I just returned from a magical week in Puerto Vallarta
surrounded by 11 unbelievably awesome women
in a tropical paradise,
eating the BEST food on the planet,
and making stupendous art
under the dynamic expert direction of master artist and teacher Susan Wechsler.

I kid you not,
Hacienda Mosaico
was a veritable tropical paradise…
a place where anything is possible.

We had breakfast every morning at 9:00

then worked until lunch at 2:00

and maybe worked some more,
or hung out by the pool,
or went for a walk,
or chatted with new friends,
or took a nap,
or went to the beach,
or had a libation…

but back to the dresses!
Remember my plain white dress form?
Here’s how it played out…

There are a few areas I want to tune up now that I’m home,
but all in all,
I’m delighted with every aspect of this
NEARLY.FLAWLESS.VACATION…
