success and sophistication

i had one of the most inspiring and motivating weeks of my entire life last week.  first, i met martha angus at an event at coup d'etat in the city and then later i the week i met barbara barry at an event at the design center. i was so inspired with what both women had to say, and i aspire to be as successful and sophisticated as the both of them. they were both so down to earth and humble, and it made me like them so much more. i think being humble is such rare quality among those that are successful, especially at the level that both martha angus and barbara barry have reached. i decided i couldn't squeeze everything i wanted to say into one post, so i've dedicated more than one posts to my eventful week. more to follow!
