Let the Pictures Talk– notes from Robyn Yzelman ’15, our photographer at the beautiful Art Sale in Convent of the Sacred Heart School

Robyn Yzelman ’15, one of VHP’s photographers, shares her experience of the sale and some of her pictures.
Last weekend, Jan 20-22, VHP held yet another successful sale – this time in collaboration with CSH (Convent of the Sacred Hearts) in Greenwich, Connecticut. Hearts for Haiti was an event many months in the making, and it was wonderful to see it come to fruition after myriad discussions.
I was happy to take photos of the Sunday sale (read: trying to creep around inconspicuously) especially since the lighting was beautiful, and paintings and crafts were richly set up, for the lack of a better adjective; paintings were attractively draped across the room and crafts were strategically arranged to tell stories.
What greeted us Near the Entrance
A sweet young girl bought a giant toy rooster
Volunteers were constantly at work, rearranging paintings and handicrafts

Laura ’12 and Andrew sharing laughs
Lila and Andrew, with their love, as always
Lauren ’12 and Charlene ’13 enjoying some rare free time
Devina ’15 and Lila, a glimpse of one big happy family
An ’83 Vassar alum!!
There were many other moments I enjoyed that never made it to my camera’s memory card: the chance meeting with a class of 1983 alum and the conversation that flowed, the CSH and VHP volunteers’ nimble teamwork in setting up and tearing down the exhibits, dancing in the car on the drive back (or rather, Devina dancing and the rest of us bopping along).
