Obsession: Alexandra Kehayoglou


Our resident lunch lady showed me Argentinian artist, Alexandra Kehayoglou's work recently and I can't believe my eyes. She makes carpets that look like magical secret gardens or the exact beach front I have been day dreaming about lately. Now this is how you can get some nature into your New York sized apartment.

Hats off to you, Alexandra. Truly a beautiful talent.

Hello perfect gift!


I can literally count six people I would give these perfect little notebooks to. Easy, pretty and useful - the trifecta of gift giving.

Studio Sneak Peek, à la The Glamourai


The lovely, sweet and talented Kelly Framel, of The Glamourai, came to the Cat Cave for a visit and then proceeded to write an article about Catbird that gave us goosebumps and then, well... maybe some of us got a little teary-eyed.

Book Club: Furious Love


The birdettes at the store recently started a book club since it is officially too cold to sit on our stoops and drink salty dogs. Instead we are going to gather in one our tiny apartments, talk about literature, and drink a hot toddy or three.

Furious Love: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and The Marriage of the Century is going to be my next suggestion for our little club. Our obsession with Elizabeth Taylor is pretty obvious and the drama and romance surrounding her on again off again affair with Richard Burton is addicting. Read the letter he wrote her after their first separation below and try not to agree with me....

So My Lumps, 

You're off, by God! 

I can barely believe it since I am so unaccustomed to anybody leaving me. But reflectively I wonder why nobody did so before. All I care about—honest to God—is that you are happy and I don't much care who you'll find happiness with. I mean as long as he's a friendly bloke and treats you nice and kind. If he doesn't I'll come at him with a hammer and clinker. God's eye may be on the sparrow but my eye will always be on you. Never forget your strange virtues. Never forget that underneath that veneer of raucous language is a remarkable and puritanical LADY. I am a smashing bore and why you've stuck by me so long is an indication of your loyalty. I shall miss you with passion and wild regret. 

You may rest assured that I will not have affairs with any other female. I shall gloom a lot and stare morosely into unimaginable distances and act a bit—probably on the stage—to keep me in booze and butter, but chiefly and above all I shall write. Not about you, I hasten to add. No Millerinski Me, with a double M. There are many other and ludicrous and human comedies to constitute my shroud. 

I'll leave it to you to announce the parting of the ways while I shall never say or write one word except this valedictory note to you. Try and look after yourself. Much love. Don't forget that you are probably the greatest actress in the world. I wish I could borrow a minute portion of your passion and commitment, but there you are—cold is cold as ice is ice.

What we Love Today: Spuma di Sciampagna Soap


Weekend plans: coffee, Lula #17, newspaper, The Goldfinch, and a bath or three, with a big, fat, fresh bar of Spuma di Sciampagna, which I prize for it's soft, champagne scent and for transforming my century old Williamsburg tub into a gleaming, marble bathtub in mid-century Milan. Spuma di Sciampagna, take me away.

What We're Listening To: Mazzy Star


Nothing beats the queen of dream on a chilly November afternoon. That voice, that style, Hope Sandoval makes my list of all-time babes for sure.

Here she is singing "Blue Light" live in 1993. Swoon.

What We Love Today: Sunday Morning


Man I love a gift set. All these bitty things, wrapped up in a pretty bag, ready to give. So satisfying, easy and cute. The Sunday Morning Gift Set is my standby gift for anyone and everyone, any time of year.

PS - Laurie Anderson, if you're listening, I'm happy to send one along. Although this would probably be even better. And I am so truly and deeply sorry for your - and all of our - loss.
PPS - Apparently this is a thing with me.

The Headphones Project


I was so happy to learn about this blog! The Headphones Project asks random people what they are listening to. I am always so curious (um, ok nosy) about this. 

Yours in nosiness,
Rony
