Thanksgiving week is a time of year when people go above and beyond, traveling long distances to be with their families. Thanksgiving brings extended family together for one wonderful day to celebrate all that is good in their lives. Family members get to catch up and tell stories. These stories can be happy, sad, or just plain embarrassing. But no matter what the stories are about, they always some how bring you closer together.
Koo de Monde is a community, even a family of artist and designers all working towards the same goals. They want to share their crafts and designs with the world to make it a more beautiful place. Exhibitors and members of the Koo de Monde team were asked one question about Thanksgiving, “What are you most thankful for this year?”. Some answers are witty and others are filled with emotion, much like the conversations found around a dinner table on Thanksgiving.

B: This year has been an interesting one! I am thankful for a lot! I am thankful that the art community is less constrained than in years past. The client base is really coming back. Being a part of Koo de Monde has been a great experience so far, because it has shown me just that! I think that most of all I am thankful for my friends and family being healthy. I have had people close to me experience health scares this year and I am so happy to see them all getting better!

C: This has been a big year at Koo de Monde. We are so lucky to have so many great exhibitors joining us, and showing some of the most innovative and unique collections I have ever seen. I can’t stress enough how thankful I am to work with such an amazing team at Koo de Monde. The team could not be more passionate about art, design, and bringing unique treasures to your front door. Personally this year has been challenging to say the least. The friendships I have made at Koo, have been a life saver! I don’t know what I would have done without such amazing co-workers whom I now call some of my closest friends.

The people that I work with, here at Koo, are amazing! I have learned so much from them. I am truly blessed to be working with such talented people every day! But of course I cannot forget my family, my boyfriend and my best friend! They are the most amazing people, and I am so thankful that they are part of my life!
