Sabrina Gilmore is a designer living and working in Kingston. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Graphic Design from Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida. During a summer in Santa Fe, her jewelry business, Thank you, Enjoy, was dreamed up while admiring the red lettering on a Chinese food container. Not long after school, she moved on to Chicago, where she spent a few years learning about vintage style from some great people such as Teri Costan of The Silver Moon boutique, and hatmaker Raymond Hudd. Most recently, she spent six months in Boston learning silversmithing. Her website is www.thankyouenjoy.com. Sabrina shot the product photos for our annual Gift Guide on page 74.
