back to the work that needs to be done here.

here is the view i will have from the deck there will be.



ahhhh! can't wait! (more on our progress here.)

another day in ny

breakfast with my amazing and talented friend jillian.(who i just realized i have known for 20 yrs come this september.)

lunch with a couple of french guys




and then across the street to an amazing show. if in ny and have the chance - do go see "pricked: extreme embroidery" at the museum of arts & design. i was actually too blown away to take any pictures, but you can see a few of the pieces here. and here.

tonight was the opening. and dinner. and a little too much wine. successful and lovely. and a little bit sad.

tomorrow back to la la land.

things i never get to do at home

read the nyt in bed while eating scrambled eggs and toast.*

have a car take me up the hudson to visit a very dear friend.

spend an hour talking about vignelli's contribution to sans serif fonts and the beauty of helvetica with same friend. (jan, have you seen this film?)

sit in front of one painting at the museum of modern art for 1/2 an hour.

walk down the street with a crowd of 100s.

*ok, d i know you are thinking - she gets breakfast in bed from the girls all the time - but this was different! oh but i do miss you! xo

up,up,up,up and away

i am off to ny. back at week's end...
