Christina Kim of Dosa was one of the winners that rocked the ATA Awards

I headed over to the ATA Awards the other day hosted at ABC Carpet and Home with the League of Artisan ladies (Benita et. al) and Michela from Interrupcion to celebrate a little fair trade for the “noveau riche,” as Benita would like to say.
