New Galleries at the Metropolitan Museum
All For A Good Cause
A few months ago we shared pictures of The Great American Woody created in collaboration with our good friends at MOORE & GILES, the brilliant mixologist Jim Meehan, and the fantastically talented Brad Ford.
The Great American Woody is now being auctioned off as a part of DIFFA’s “30 for 30” auction on charitybuzz.com. The goal is to raise as much money as possible to support DIFFA’s groundbreaking work in the fight against AIDS. This auction will close Monday, December 19th.
We hope you’ll take a look and…if you purchase the Woody…we’re looking forward to drinks. Cheers!
Brilliant Little Invention
How great is this?! A pen called Slobproof that you can fill with whatever paint color–be it walls or trim–you have in your home. So instead of lugging out the messy and awkward paint can any time you need to do light touchups, you simply use this handy little pen instead. We’re ordering them for ourselves and our clients ASAP!
Mighty Waters
Recently inspired by reading Susan Casey’s wonderful new book THE WAVE we thought we’d share a few of our favorite ‘waves’…!

Map Works by Matthew Cusik
And finally, our dear friends the Keneas brothers who collaborate on the most exquisite seascape and cloud paintings. This is one of their beautiful miniatures.
Finding Inspiration at the National Museum of the American Indian
This museum has been on our to-do list for a long while and this past weekend we finally found ourselves down on Wall Street and decided it was time to mark it off the list. The museum entrance is flanked by several of these large scale sculptures. They are beyond beautiful and we spent as much time outside admiring them as we did inside looking at the exhibitions. The design and craftsmanship of these textiles and pieces below made us sorry we hadn’t visited sooner. They are truly timeless in their appeal.
We’ll close with one of our favorite portraits in the collection. This little fellow made us smile the minute we saw him–his outfit is perfection and his poise and hint of sass makes it even more brilliant.
