Lots of cool porcelain at the Brooklyn flea this weekend.At a pop up store in SoHo a few months back, I came across Christine Facella of Beetle & Flor, who casts skull replicas. The matte porcelain with gold glaze teeth looks really cool. They are very tiny and delicate. I loved seeing her work again this weekend and one day, one will be mine. I also met Alyssa Ettinger who creates porcelain milk bottles from antiques. Really, really cute. www.theshinysquirrel.com

Fortunately and unfortunately, I work right by Time Square, making my commute into work a constant battle as I fight my way though tourist. I have a lot of issues with people who walk slowly, walk on the left side of the sidewalk or don't walk at all...so this made me laugh.www.guestofaguest.com/nyc/a-plea-for-walking-lanes-in-new-york-city/

Wow, what an amazing weekend. Friday night, had a nice dinner party with friends. Saturday, we had bunch at Tartine in the West Village, then decided to walk the Highline. The Highline opened back in June and is an elevated park that is built on old railroad tracks. It's very cool...running under and around lots of buildings. When it is all finished, it will run from the Meatpacking District up to Chelsea. The architecture and views are beautiful and we were spoiled by perfect weather. On our way to the Highline, we stumbled upon a little gallery in Meatpacking. The exhibit was called ICONS, by Mr. Brainwash. There were huge, 8 ft. spray cans of ordinary things, portraits of musicians made out of broken records and lots of playing off of pop art. Then we went to Union Square for International Pillow Fight Day. Sunday was spent laying and reading in central park. We packed a picnic and then later walked to Bethesda Terrace and fountain and then down and around the boat pond.
