TOWN & COUNTRY

One of my Biggest indulgences every month
besides my devoted Living Mag from Martha Stewart
and Pistachio macaroons (OK that's more like an
every week indulgence) is the Town&Country
magazine.  I love love reading these articles, yes even
 more than reading and highlighting my recipes. 
***
In the February issue was a fabulous article called
The Wisdom of Muffie from the perspective of her daughter
Wentworth.  She is so fun and witty, i found myself
laughing out loud quite a few times.

here are some of my favorite lines from the article :
"My mother fought for civil rights, campaigned for all the Kennedy brothers, and yet served as Nancy Reagan's social secretary in the White house.  She has helped alcoholic friends get sober by walking them up and down the beaches of Cape Cod.  She played Monopoly on the carpet with financial tycoons,and won. She never wears makeup but always has impeccably manicured toes.  Her favorite lunch is sliced tomatoes on bread, deviled eggs and Lipton iced tea.  You can bribe her into anything if you can produce a hot fudge sundae.  The only things my mother can cook are English muffins and Creme caramel. She will choose a bath over a shower; a play over a movie; and the ocean over a pool. She has saved herself from intense pain in her life with strong, pulled-up bootstraps and terrifying organizational skills.  My mother has givenchy gowns in the closet next to frayed evening jackets she scored at Goodwill. 
She didn't grow up in the age of private planes, Pilate's instructors, and hiring Ke$ha to play at birthday parties. During the summers in Plymouth (William Bradford, captain of the Mayflower, was our ancestor), she would ditch her Nancy Reagan coif and sparkling caftans, exchanging them for
JC-Penny T-shirts and tennis skirts."

In the March issue this month besides the given
of fabulous style and I love the Social network on weddings,
there is a page about what bloggers
to follow and why.  Of course i really enjoyed this one. On page
56 there are 6 bloggers and one of my favorite's is the Advanced Style blog from the former New Museum bookshop
supervisor Ari Seth Cohen. 
What you will find:
 elderly fashionistas. Inspired by his grandmothers unique sense of style, Cohen uses his blog to highlight the street fashion of those in their golden years. 
Who Reads This:
Anyone who adores geriatrics and/or is tired of fashion images populated exclusively by the barely legal.
Check all of them out but this one was my Favorite.

Everyone comes in and out for a reason...

...and it's only after they have
gone or stayed in your life that
you know why...

Post-Card Art

***
During College I took a great
Mix-Media class, along with my darling
friends Joy and Toni.  We use to make Art
out of post-cards and send them in the mail and like a lot of
things I start it fizzled out and we haven't picked it back up in a long time.
Toni lives in New Orleans, Joy lives in Brevard NC and I'm in NY.
So over Christmas we were able to get together and have
a wonderful visit and talk about great memories,
All three of us Vowed to start sending each other
Art in the mail again. Ive put a lot of friendships
on the back burning way to often, they are so important.
and just like any other relationship they take effort and time.
I love my girls, I'm excited about going to the mailbox again.
Joy already beat me! i received my first one of the year this week.
