Good To Know / Pesky Cocktail Speck
Last night, after our trip to the Salvation Army, Mom and I headed over to 44 & X for pre-dinner cocktails. I had just taken the first sip of my very delicious blue cheese olive-infused dirty martini when I noticed something unwanted floating about on the surface.
Holy ’50s Furniture Find!
Eee! So I spent Saturday prepping for a few upcoming Minwax segments for Meredith, and one of my tasks was to find a piece of wood furniture suitable for refinishing. I decided to stop by the Salvation Army - my go-to spot for spectacular furniture finds - and within about three seconds I discovered this unbelievable '50s-era piece (pictured in the SA elevator) for just $20! All I had to do was tighten a few of the screws affixing the legs to the body, and it was good to go.
I love love love love to the love it, and think I'm going to go with a dark cherry stain and gold legs to embrace the vintage feel of the piece.
Saturday also involved lots of wardrobe-sourcing to find tops that work well on-camera:

I simply haven't seen the dish pictured above - Eggs Benedict over french toast, stewed apples, and bacon, all doused in maple syrup - anywhere else, and it is awesome. Also, you can make it en casa.
I Totally Shopped Strawberry!
Yesterday I had a meeting in midtown, and was all set to head home without, you know, shopping...but then that thing happened. You know what I'm talking about: you're just walking by a store, all casual-like, and then your eye catches something in the window, and you think "Huh. That's cute." And you keep walking - because you are NOT SHOPPING - but then ten paces or so later you do an about-face, and then suddenly you're in the store, and you're buying...a lot.
Fortunately, when this happened to me yesterday, it happened at the Strawberry store next to Grand Central.
