The Stylist's Guide to NYC.

 

My first Book Depository order arrived yesterday. The Stylist's Guide to NYC by Sibella Court! The book is hardcover and has a small pull-out map in the front. It also has a handy pocket in the back, kind of like a Moleskine where you can put those bus tickets & fancy named serviettes (I know you keep those!). It has small, handy sections on Scents & Flower Merchants, Oddities & Curiosities, Jewellery & Hardware, Haberdashery & Handmade, Drapers & Upholstery, Art & Objects, Paper & Art Supplies (my fave), Kitchen & Table Paraphernalia and Furniture & Interiors.

Sibella gives tips and suggested itineraries with 'loops of interest'. A pretty little guide that will have you oohing and ahhing at all the fascinating pictures. Mmm love the smell of the manila/recycled pages too. A must for any adventure to the Big Apple!

afternoon tea.

I invited my mum, sister, sister-in-law (all mums) and my three nieces to a special mother's day afternoon tea at my house. We had mini cupcakes with lemon icing, macarons, asparagus rolls, sammies, sausage rolls, chicken nibbles, pinwheels and cups of tea. Just the ladies, although a sneaky uncle and cute lil two-month old nephew turned up later to eat some leftovers. Hope all the mums out there had a fantastic day of hugs & treats!
