Rachel Rucks Sejas…Come On Down!!!

WINNER: RACHEL RUCKS SEJAS, ARTISAN

About a month ago, I posted about the contest The Faux Retreat launched to search for a Monitor for the Spring workshops — and I’m glad to announce the winner is Rachel Rucks Sejas!? Rachel owns and runs The Painted Lady and she is based out of Memphis, TN.? She also has an eponymous blog you should check out.? In fact, she had a really beautiful post about the entire competition and how her inspiration board came into play.? (LOVE stories like that.)

In the interest of full disclosure, I was one of the judges and let me tell you…it was a tough decision.? So many who applied were wonderful, deserving artisans and I wish there were multiple prizes to give away.? My fellow judges were organizer Kathy Boyd, Spring Retreat instructors Laine Discepoli and Dean Sickler and fellow artisans Jeff Monsein and Sass Lassley — I’m sure each of them would say the same thing.? So, Rachel — congratulations again!? I hope you enjoy the camaraderie at The Faux Retreat and I look forward to reading your posts about the experience!
