Events - High Arts Day

On Monday I played hooky from work with my Mom and Sister and we all went to High Arts Day.

The festivities started at 8 am with private shopping and breakfast at Bloomingdale’s. 10% of anything purchased went to the Museum.

Then we visited two homes in Buckhead that recently been renovated and had large art collections. They were very beautiful. One of the homes had recently been in House Beautiful. (I think that is the correct magazine.)

After that everyone went the Museum. The highlights included a silent auction, a 3 course lunch and a private viewing of the Chinese Warriors display that has just opened.

We were very excited to see the Warriors. But the show is much smaller than I thought it would be. But fascinating none the less.

My Mother got some great buys at the silent auction including a weekend at Barnsley Gardens. That was very exciting because she got a great deal.

The pictures in the tabblo aren’t the best. And I did not get a good shot of my new Rebecca Taylor ensemble.

But we had a lovely day and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
