Hi there….busy week.? I had to select another winner for the gorgeous Huff Harrington handbag giveaway and hope this winner will be stepping up to the plate as there are many (me included) who would just looooove to claim this bag as my own:) Congrats goes to-
?? There are so many things to love from their website. Some of the dishes, the purses, the art. It is all wonderful. I really like the French porcelain dough bowl, though. What fun to look at all their treasures.
Please email me at [email protected] to claim your prize and arrange for shipping
I am working hard to meet a deadline for the showhouse and literally have not moved a single item over there….yet. It will all happen in the 9th hour and rest assured it will be done. There were a few snafus such as some things I ordered all being out of stock and not finding out until 2 days ago…back to the drawing board, argh!
As I periodically do,? I share my life’s snippets as seen through my trusty little iPhone, it’s funny how pictures can tell a story. My story this week was a busy one, and one spent more in NYC than I have in a long long time, but then again NYC to me comes alive in spring. So here is my week as seen through my iPhone…..
Had a ball in NYC with my sister and niece and friend (sometimes its fun to see the city again through the eyes of someone who does not live here)….
A few nights later had dinner at Jean George’s restaurant at The Mark…..
Always a sucker for a massive spray of fresh blossoms!
The raw space of the showhouse covered patio on a raw day:) It looks rather drab, but I plan to bring it to life in a few days!
Never can have enough tulips……
So in love with this picture that a customer sent me of monogrammed napkins she bought from me, that I carried the picture on my phone so I could find a charger in the same green…magnificent!
Sadly have made almost no progress on my “home office” project but did get this wonderful cabinet for all my samples and still have paper samples hanging around, all of which I love but the tricky ceiling makes this space challenging…
Changed up this upstairs hallway vignette to reflect the lighter, airier months of warm weather ahead…
Started making my favorite salad, a chopped Greek salad, yum yum…
Went to my favorite nursery and went on a bit of a shopping spree….
Wrapped up this pretty gift for a friend, don’t you love the little blue and white porcelain teapot adornment?
Putting the final coat of paint (a color I just love) in the “lower level” aka basement/party room….progress, progress!
Went to a friends apt in the beautiful iconic Ansonia in NYC and even though I have been there a few times (and featured it in a past post) I never cease to marvel at the magnificent lobby/public spaces
Went to these great restaurants in the last week, Blue Ribbon sushi (to me the best sushi I have ever had) in NYC and Jean Georges in Pound Ridge (how about that, TWO Jean Georges restaurants within days of each other), both places I would go back to!
So there is a glimpse into my busy (but fun week). Busy almost bordering on hectic but I have come to realize that I thrive on having lots going on with more than a few balls in the air. I am supposed to be heading to Georgetown tomorrow for a friends birthday but it will be a very short visit as I need to get back, roll my sleeves up and make some major progress on getting this showhouse space together! Wishing you a wonderful rest of the week, until next time…..
New promo as of Friday morning, fabulous collection of fiberglass/fiberstone garden items, click here for details…
You take the BEST pics with your iPhone!!! So glad you enjoyed your time in NYC. Can’t wait to see the final outcome of your showhouse room. Have a great weekend!
Great photos! Always enjoy seeing your beautiful and interesting shots. Wish I could be in NYC for a wonderful show, shopping,and a big pastrami sandwich. When I lived at West Point, we had a ladies trip every month for the Theatre. It was such fun. Our bus even broke down once in the Lincoln Tunnel during rush hour. Not so fun.
Seriously, Tina, you have the best blogs of any that I read. I will scroll down my mail each morning and I always take time to read yours while I may let others wait. Thank you for all the time you put into making each day inspiring!
Those blue wallpaper choices are just gorgeous!!!! Thanks for always bringing us such lovely flower picks to keep us thinking of spring! And that food…..yum!!!!
Tina, this is certainly an action packed week. How nice to have your sister in town I am sure it was wonderful to see you. I love the NY photos, the city looks so vibrant and your photos look fabulous!
I do not recall seeing your show house space and it looks very interesting. I cannot wait to see what you do with it.
The salad, always a sign of summer, looks fabulous!
I hope that you have a great week, looking forward to seeing more of the show space. Enjoy Georgetown.
I so agree …
NYC comes alive in the spring and I am energized as soon as we pass thru the tunnel !
We visited this past Saturday and saw “The King and I” at The Lincoln Center .
Had lunch before and visited the glorious Met Opera Shop!
Returning in May to see “An American in Paris”. More bliss to come .
Love your inspiring post and enjoy sharing tidbits with you and all your followers !
I can’t get enough of New York so thank you for all the pictures. Good luck with the show house – you will make it beautiful and I can’t wait to see what you do. Maybe one day, you would blog about your favorite NY shopping and restaurants.
The iphone camera has come a long way, I think we should all stop telling people pictures were taken with a phone. They’re great pictures and now I want to go for a spring weekend trip to New York.
I like the wallpaper second from the left – great for the office.
A creative man that I once worked for told me to never call the space a ‘basement’. He insisted I refer to the area as the ‘studio level’ – (a space for entertainment and soiree’s – according to him). It seems to be fitting for your beautiful space in progress.
Hi Tina! Looks like you are having a fun but busy week! Can’t wait to see what you do for the show house – I’m sure it will be gorgeous. Speaking of gorgeous, tulips and blue and white! Whenever I visit your blog I see something I want to paint! Hope your week finishes up beautifully.
So many terrific photos of the Big Apple, I miss NYC for sure and would love to plan a visit there soon. It seems I have just flown through JFK the past few times on the way to Europe or Greece and even that has been awhile!

I enjoyed taking part in half of your Jean Georges experience! It is always fun to tag along via your iPhone on all of your adventures! My “musts” in Georgetown – A Mano, Random Harvest and the Christ Child Consignment shop for home goods…And, Baked and Wired for delish cupcakes, breakfast goodies and the best coffee in town. Have a fun time down there! xoxo
Such following you around this week! Your iPhone photos are really GREAT…you have an artist’s eye!!!!
I have friends coming to visit next week and they want to spend a day in the city. I need to get back to the boys so no time for a show….trying to figure out where to take them?!? My oldest son is a freak for sushi, so I need to take him to Blue Ribbon.
Love all JG restaurants…..lucky you!
I’m heading into the city tonight for Cosme….I’ll let you know if it’s worth adding to the ever growing list of restaurants.
Happy Weekend and good luck with all those balls you’re juggling!
xoxo Elizabeth

Love the flooring in the party room! Is that tile or wood??
That patio looks marvelous and I know that with your design will look even better! Can’t wait to see it!
