speaking of the party, it was at harbinger, and let me just show you their kinds of fabulousness:

I just blogged about the Harbinger people today. Psychic waves.

Aw man, I wish I would've gone to the trad party.

Holy crap! Can I be your BFF? That was so much good design in one sitting I feel a bit blind and brain tingly. Need to digest, then look at it again and again.

Separated at birth us two. I wish you could see my iPhone and my car last week..It had almost everything from your post in it...
I bought those NT ottomans for a client and I die over them. I also almost bought those mecox pillows for client awesome......mainly because they were everything, but sad face, they cost as much as a rolls royce so alas..they stay living at there current home...
So sad you were stomping at my stomping grounds and I missed your pretty face.
muchas smoochas

I've wanted that Victoria Pearson "Lemon" print (Nathan's store) since I first saw it years ago in HB - NOW I know where to find it! Thanks for the virtual trip to la la land!

mrs. V said...

Seriously?! Can I just be you for 5 minutes or Amber for that matter? Sheesh. Almost too much goodness to digest. But I am especially mad over those 'nature' photos at NT's new store mainly b/c I just posted about blowing up one of my pond pictures for the kitchen just like that lily/frog business. PS - the new and improved Furb is everything. I still get massive compliments on my bracelets that I ordered from you a century ago...

My morning has been shot to shit though, there are too many pretty things in this post to shop for online.

I went to NYSID with Gideon Mendelson and he's a charmer. He deserves every once of his success. So glad the world is finding out about him!

Lianna said...
