sew perfect

How sick would this look above a sideboard in a dining room?  Do you think it would get dusty?

Rockin'

Every nursery needs a stylish mid century modern rocker.  This one is quite stylish, but I'm scared I'd get stuck in it without the ab muscles to pull myself out!  It may be worth the risk.

Girls, Girls, Girls

My ever generous employer provided everyone in the company with this piece of eye candy today.  My favorite image inside was this gem staged in a row of brownstones on 58th St that were about to be demolished.

This necklace caught my fancy.  Can't resist a good spike!

secure

We've been busily getting our house in order including installing a security system.  Maybe we could have saved a few bucks and just gotten this doormat instead.

Lil Hipster

Not sure what I like more.  This rug, or its name, Lil Hipster.

delicate fortune

These porcelain fortune cookies would look beautiful displayed on the mantle just like this.  I'd be torn between keeping them whole or breaking them to see what the psychic who wrote the fortunes envisions for me.

Tasting

Last night I went out to my birthday dinner at Blue Hill at Stone Barns.  My birthday was in September, but that's the wait for a reservation.  We had the 5 course tasting menu, which was a feast of flavors.  We started with vegetables from the farm.



The setting is lovely in the winter.  Walking up the lantern lit path to the restaurant with a coating of snow on the ground was very cozy.

2013 is here!

We ushered in the new year today with good friends watching a marathon of Between Two Ferns and eating tiramisu.  It was a good beginning to what will be a great year!  Happy 2013!
