Kaari Meng of French General Coming to Paper Crown

This one has been in the works for a while, actually I first thought of it when I got back from the Chateau Getaway with Nancy in 2012, but I am so very pleased to announce that very good things come to those who are patient! Kaari Meng will be teaching two classes at Paper Crown this month.

For those of you not familiar with Kaari, she owns the quaint French General store in LA which has an amazing assortment of vintage goodies, wonderful beads and jewelry kits, stitching samplers and the most beautiful fabrics inspired by her love of all things French. Kaari also hosts a wide variety of workshops at her store, in the US and the most wonderful art retreat in France. I highly recommend it!

Kaari is a seasoned teacher and you will not want to miss taking a class or two from her.

To sign up call Paper Crown at 405 848-2389.  Our guest artist policy is all classes must be paid at the time of registration and there are no cancellations.  

 

Kaari has also agreed to share a small portion of  French General with us and will be shipping a box of  her vintage  items that can be purchased at class.

 

I know you all will love Kaari and her art as much as I do and if history is any indicator, I know she will go home with a new love for Oklahoma and those glittery girls at Paper Crown!
