While most of the world was focused on the Super Bowl, I had a few friends over to toast to Galentine’s day. We sipped champagne, laughed, ate cucumber sandwiches and then watched the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet—much cuter than regular football. I wanted to adopt every single dog that played.

I have no idea where time has gone, but here are some snaps of December fun. xoxo, k
sultry afternoon in Havana
Ok, maybe Havana inspired….We celebrated a friend’s birthday at Cuban Petes-a local Cuban restaurant where I live. It is such a festive atmosphere and I just love the music they play! Lots of laughs, champagne and coconut shrimp! Nearly 70 percent humidity, but we survived! :)
sumner fun-the week in pictures
Got a little getaway in with one of my closest friends.I think we could have fun doing just about anything. We ate some great seafood, antiqued at one of my fave spots and played in the ocean. It always feels good to laugh and have fun like that. And the change of scenery does wonders!
Luncheon, art & the key to the park
Perfect weather, a great walk down to Gramercy Park and an amazing luncheon at the prestigious National Arts Club. My friend Andrea ha a lovely landscape painting in the exhibit there so we all got together and toasted her. The building was incredible—with its stained glass dome in the dining room to gorgeous fireplaces, palrlors, bay windows, bookcases and doorways.
The real treat was getting the key to Gramercy Park. For those not familiar—the only way to gain entry is to reside or work in one of the buildings facing the park. For years I wanted to go inside…I remember walking across town after classes at SVA and stopping by the gate to try and peek inside.
It did not disappoint. Lush gardens, fields of swaying allium, gravel walkways, beautiful benches and the classic wrought iron fences throughout. We all sat in the sun and took in the perfect mid sixties temps. If I win the lottery I will purchase a condo in that square. For that park alone! :)
