Happy Birthday Pink Saturday

Happy 3rd Birthday Pink Saturday!! I saved one of my birthday dinners for this day to celebrate Pink Saturday. My friend Marlene took me to Mr. Kay's in NYC. It is one of my favorite places but had not gone in years. It was my special place with my ex boyfriend and just was odd I never had gone back. Funny I thought "oh my goodness Mr. Kay's would be a perfect Pink Saturday post"! lol I had so much fun we laughed so hard. President's have eaten there and actors and very wealthy famous people also and they have 2 sets each of chopsticks for each person. I am always amazed at the service. Every time you move they come and fix your napkin or fill your drink glass. I had Diet Coke and the tiny pitcher was near me and I "made eye contact" and pow there he was filling my glass. Everything is a pretty light pink, even the plates. The food is incredible and we picked 2 different dinners and they split and plated them for us. You do nothing except sit back and enjoy. Then the amazing coffee pot comes out and the water is on the bottom coffee beans on top, they light from the bottom at the table and the water brews upwards into the beans for a fresh tasty coffee.
Please go visit Beverly from How Sweet the Sound and wish her a Happy Birthday! Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! xoox

Some Furniture from Brimfield

When I was a little girl my Nonno (grandfather in Italian)I would follow everywhere. I would wake up at 4 years old at 4 am dressed so I could go with my dad and nonno to buy meat at the Meatpacking District, that is now a chic shopping, lofts and eating neighborhood. I used to love going to the local pharmacy because they sold toys in packages and bouncy balls in pink. He never said "NO" if I would ask for something he would say, "Ok place the order and we will come back and bring the big truck so we can carry everything". It worked I told him everything I wanted and I always fell for it and loved spending time with him. So when I was in Brimfield and saw all this amazing furniture and goodies I actually laughed out loud a few times thinking of my "Nonno" and that I would get my truck filled with goodies one day. So I settled for pictures. I have a fascination for "Vanity Tables"! Yes I could never find the perfect one and in Brimfield I found 4 perfect ones. I love the curio cabinet in the last picture just not the color and so I will wait for the truck to arrive one day.....xoox

Fitting an Octagon into a Triangle - Brimfield purchase

My friend Beverly and I woke up early Saturday morning had breakfast at our hotel and rushed to do a quick pick up of items we did not carry Friday, then we were going to park her car and shop. Well We ran into Rosemary Warren the very talented creative director of Tinsel Trading Co. She was trying to just get rid of everything in her booth because she is moving to LA soon and so we saw a 7 foot Curio and she said if you take it you can have it for $50! Um Beverly said "MINE"...and we all looked at her like she was nuts. How was she fitting an "octagon in a triangle"? ahaha I stopped doubting and accepted that women are awesome packers and awesome basically at everything! hahaa Well one woman said she would eat her hat if it went in and Rosemary said forget it I will give you your money back..2 strong gentlemen showed up and they said "no way" but tried and the "octagon fit perfectly in the triangle", with just a drop hanging out with a 5 hour drive for Beverly to go later that day and all went well. We were trying to find a hat for the lady to eat! lol Never doubt a professional junkin shopper!! Oh by the way we fit "lots" more things in that car inside curio around curio and even stopped at a nursery so I could buy a beautiful huge hanging plant!! xoox
