week 46 - art institute

has everyone recovered from the blizzard of the century yet? hope so! glad february wasn’t this snowy last year on this exact weekend when I got married. this weekend i celebrated my first wedding anniversary.

a few weekend details that everyone needs to take advantage of! first, please tell me that all of you have dined at terzo piano…the restaurant on the top floor of the modern wing of chicago’s art institute! it is the most phenomenal experience in chicago dining. It is our special occasion place…as we had our first date at the art institute.

anyhow, the menu is always fresh and has such interesting combinations of flavor. the atmosphere is light and airy. open for lunch only, but is such a relaxing experience. we were there on sunday and felt as if we were sitting in a snow globe once the snow started flowing thru the city skyline.

secondly, a ‘must-see’ at the institute right now is the watercolor exhibit by american modernist john marin. (this is another thing my husband has introduced into my life via his institute pass…amazing rotating exhibits!) i am partial to water color and I thought these were really inspiring. john marin traveled all of america and europe. it was a fun experience to try and guess the city in his works.

lastly, i always take visit to the museum shop at the institute to see what new jewelry designers they are featuring. and this time…I got brave! i asked for the information for mesh to exhibit in their store. so, wish us luck as we put together the application!!
