May Day! May Day!

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside, 
I do like to be beside the sea,

I do like to stroll along the prom, prom, prom,

Where the brassbands play

Tiddley-om-pom-pom!

So just let me be beside the seaside,

I'll be beside myself with glee;

And there's lots of girls beside,

I should like to be beside,

Beside the seaside, beside the sea.

1909, Music Hall Florrie Forde

This ditty always reminds me of my grandparents! And how true! Growing up beside the seaside 
in beautiful Dorset, England I'm spoilt with such childhood memories. 
So happy that my son has the chance to enjoy the seaside too. Although just a short ride to the 
metropolis of NYC, the luxury of having this on our doorstep is wonderful. 

Have a lovely weekend.

Not too many weekend plans this weekend. We are thinking about possibly checking out the NY Photo Festival either Saturday or Sunday. Perhaps lunch or crepes at our local French cafe, who sell the most amazing selection of cheeses and the most delectable sandwich made with the softest french ham, brie, dijon mustard and cornichons (mini gherkins).
Work and other less fun stuff might consume the remaining time of the weekend as I have a deadline for a collection I'm working on for a client.

I might take a stab at creating these handmade snickers bars I found linked from Joanna Goddard's fantastic blog, Cup of Jo. Here is the original link and recipe. Enjoy!

A Hammock Made For Two.

One of my most favorite memories of February this year. Me and my boy, in the sun, sleeping on a hammock tied between two palm trees by crystal clear water with iguanas running underfoot.

Rogue Space Juried Photography Show

I was proud to be a winner of the 2010 Juried Photography Show with John Benton judging, over at Rogue Space Chelsea. It's a great gallery, run by nice people who've been so supportive!

This is a clip of the opening reception. I won Best in Show along with 4 others so we are lucky enough to have another opening soon. Details to come.

Brimfield Antique Market - May 2010

Yo Gabba Gabba at Coachella.

The official Yo Gabba Gabba at Coachella trailer! I'm so excited to see what they are doing with all the footage they filmed. They filmed a little bit of my son and I dancing, it was very cute.
Funny to see Dave Grohl there. I can't go anywhere (even Amsterdam) without Dave Grohl being there it seems. He even copied me and bought the same leopard broom at the hardware store. Bloody Dave Grohl.
