This past week was non-stop excitement in NYC! Not only did I celebrate the big 3-0 but I had the fabulous opportunity to present Martha Stewart with the paper faces I created of her and her two Frenchies, Francesca and Sharkey.
I attended a taping of Martha at Chelsea Studios, which featured judges and doggies from the Westminster Dog Show. Martha also brought in her duo of Frenchies along with her very regal Chow Chow, Ghengis Khan (GK) who won Best of Breed at Westminster. GK was a real crowd pleaser, complete with a fresh and fluffy coat, a stately swagger, and a striking blue tongue. An added treat was getting to pet Malachy the Pekinese, the top dog at Westminster--what a coat and what a face!
After the show I presented Martha with her piece, which she and the staff LOVED! I am so unbelievably honored that Martha now has one of my originals in her possession. I also gave Martha a handmade card and a little box of BeautyBug accessories for her grandbaby, Jude. :)
The remainder of my trip consisted of shopping the endless aisles of Strand Books, catching up with an old childhood friend on Valentine's Day (while dining at Mario Batali's Eataly and sipping on the most decadent Love Potion Hot Chocolate at The City Bakery), witnessing the powerful performances of Stockard Channing and Judith Light in Other Desert Cities at the Booth Theatre, admiring modern collections at the Met, perusing the windows of Madison Avenue with my favorite Pixarian, walking the Upper West Side with my pal Tony Danza (yep, Who's The Boss), and spending many late nights laughing it up at Hotel Gansevoort in the Meatpacking District with my favorite Pixarian boys.
An experience I will treasure forever!
