catch up time!

So the 16th I was swatching for a wedding and they wanted blues and purples for table cloths, ties and wraps for the bridesmaids... the dress was gorgeous.. a full Chantilly white lace dress, strapless and cost 10,000
the 17th i worked a bit and then we headed to see a good friend of my mothers, Susan and her husband Rick.. We went to their home in Nyack.. It was so wonderful, The gardens we great and the outside deck looked out to this beautiful pool, stone walls, and great flowers, made me feel like I was in Italy. Susan is an Exec Producer at Food Network, so we had the best food! Dinner was great lamb burgers in pita with fresh veggies.. then Sunday afternoon we had a great chicken style salad with these rice paper summer rolls.. SOOO DELICIOUS. Then that night we had home made pizza!! It was the best weekend! Oh and Susan lives across from Ellen Burysten.. :)
We came back into the city with Susan and the 19th and had a tour of Chelsea market and food network! then off to work I went got items and swatched for Chicago..
the 20st I went to the Picture Library by Bryant Park... so much fun!
the 21nd swatched for Leap of Faith.. but very specific fabrics and swatched for Chicago as well.. constant swatching!
the 22nd did more research for Henry VIII and packed some boxes.. dont remeber what else.
the 23 got up EARLY to go to Iron Chef America's live taping at Food Network.. It was awesome.. my mom and I went and watched Bobby Flay compete with a Challenger and she was good.. it was interesting to see how long it takes to tape and then when you watch the show.. WOW.. it is usually around 4 hours but I left around 1 so that I could get to Queens t get some shoes. My mom stayed till around 3 ish.. But I got some shoes in Queens, for and actress who is super picky about what she wears... SO then I went to Capezio and got some different style Dance shoes for Leap Of Faith.. so some shows wont work, so I will be returning quite a bit tomorrow.
This weekend!! (24- 25th ) We went to the Brooklyn Museum yesterday and spent about 4 hours there.. there was an exhibit I wanted to see about American Fashion.. so images are on my fb page.. that I have to rotate.. so it can be seen better! Then we walked around Brooklyn and saw some cool sites..
Today we had a lazy Sunday.. woke up around 7:40 and then went back to sleep and woke up at 9.. then went to Battery Park and sat in the sun and then in the shade.. we got a bit of lunch at this great little store/bodega/deli... Very tasty! then sat in the park and headed back to our apt when the skies opened so we caught the bus to seaport and walked to our loft!
Tomorrow is an all new day!
