Christmas in London

I was finally getting ready to leave London after so much activity and meetings. I took a few hours with my partner, Kristina Stehling and her son Max to walk the streets of London and look at the decorations. They were great. Definitely made you feel the Xmas Mood. Cold not snowy, but bearable. People rushing about with their packages and just looking at all the sights on the street and the decorations each retail establishment and the City of London threw up for the entertainment of the public. Loved it....

Obama Celebration Party:London Democrats Abroad

November 4, 2008 Democrats Abroad held an amazing celebration party at the Texas, Embassy in London,UK. EFA European Director, Kristina Stehling was part of the preparation Party. I have never seen more Americans in one place in London ever.
It was absolutely Jammin' with wall to wall people just showing what its like to have witnessed and been part of an historic event. Everyone in London was celebrating with us. Besides the Texas,Embassy the Democrats Abroad had set up two other overflow venues to take care of all the people and make sure evryone was having a brilliant time. Evelyn Fujimoto from Gensler,London was in attendance.
What an incredible night!

Michael S Smith Book Signing: Houses at HollyHock

I had a pleasant surprise when I stopped at HollyHock owned by Suzanne Rheinstein who was hosting the booksigning for Michael S Smith's second book published by Rizzoli.

If you have ever ventured outside of the PDC to shop-HollyHock located at 817 Hilldale Ave in West Hollywood has become a destination showroom for unusual and unique items. They also showcase several colections of fabric,lighting , and furniture that you will not find at the PDC.

Robert Kime Fabrics,John Rosselli Furniture & Lighting Collection, and William Yeoward Crystal to name a few.

The original Hollyhock was opened 17yrs ago in Larchmont. Designer Connie McCreight was there to show her support as well as all the Jasper Contingent from Michael S Smith. Frank Mastronuzzi, CFO for Michael S Smith, was holding court with friends.

Hospitality Design Icon, Betty Garber, Vince Jellineo, Kneedler Faucher Alumni with his designer partner,Ed were present to grace the event.

Michael S Smith as Dapper as ever was signing his new book:Houses. This is Michael's second book published by Rizzoli. If you have ever been to a Michael S Smith book signing, it really is an event. Michael is great. He is very approachable and is very excited about telling you about his Jasper furniture and fabric collections represented in showrooms across the U.S. To the Trade.
