So as you know, I went to The Art Institute this weekend. It was the perfect day for some inside activity with a beautiful weather report of 40 degrees and rain. So along with the entire city of Chicago, we went to the museum.
At your requests… here are some of my favorite pieces in the new modern wing:

| You better all really love this one, because I got in trouble for taking this picture! |
We also ate at Terzo Piano, the new restaurant in the Modern Wing and it was unbelievable. I had a FEAST for lunch, so unnecessary. Thank you to City Girl Chicago for the rave review that pushed me to try it!
And Things That Sparkle now has a Facebook page, come “like” us!
