Our Wonder Woman


The Carnegie would not even be here without the devotion of our Wonder Woman, Diane Giddens.  Here she is, sitting in the Bistro, outside the Yellow Umbrella.  It is her mom, Kathryn, who carried a yellow umbrella while the two of them traveled through France, whom the new shop is dedicated to.
