Wee Exhibit in Turners FallsStaff Picks Kristin

A wee confession for you: I am enthused by cuteness. Gazing at tiny, bubbly, chubby, wubbly, widdle, cootie-wooties is a welcome and stark contrast to the bracing facts and harsh realities I grapple with in the newsroom. So, I’m looking forward to checking out Wee the People at Nina’s Nook. The exhibit promises whimsical, teeny things like garden slugs, paper robots, and a Frida Kahlo doll. Sounds relaxing. Nina’s Nook, 125A Avenue A, Turners Falls. — Kristin Palpini
