It's been months since I've updated the site -- sorry.</div>

I recently spent 10 wonderful days in York. My old friend Dave and I flew over from Houston into Heathrow and directly to York by train. Dave says I've spoiled him for flying -- I've been able to offer him companion traveler's coupon which enables us to fly in business (BA's Club World) and we booked first class on the train. To tell you the truth I think he enjoyed the train ride(s) the most.</div>

Here's Dave enjoying the complimentary drinks and nibbles in the BA lounge pre-flight.</div>

Although the weather had been beautiful and warm the previous week(s) it was not so during our visit. After a day or two Dave and I got real tired of people "apologizing" for the weather -- and hearing "if you had been here last week...". Truth of the matter is, both Dave and I were enjoying the area so much that the weather was of no concern.</div>

Since Matt and John's place is rather small for 4 people (what with only two bedrooms and one full bath) we opted to stay at a little hotel just 2 minutes away in Tadcaster Road -- the "Knavesmire Manor". A lovely little hotel created from one of York's large old homes. Our room was spacious and clean, but the place, on the whole, reminded us a bit like "Faulty Towers". After some expectation adjustments we actually felt a little like being home.</div>

Our first venture out was to The Mouseman of Kilburn -- an old established, still family owned and operated cabinetry shop making incredible items from English oak (if it's in England is it JUST oak?) -- I think Dave was impressed. </div>

Then over to Castle Howard just a few miles outside of York. We seemed to have caught the gardens post-mid-pre bloom -- the daffodils were still hanging on, the trees were beginning to bud, but that was about it. I was a little disappointed for Dave.</div>

Saturday was spent in and round York with a visit to the beautiful Museum Gardens. Saturday was the Queen's actual birthday 21 April and there had been a artillery salute in the gardens -- which we missed...</div>

Then it was a drive into the Yorkshire Moores with stops at Hovingham, Helmsley, the Hole of Horcum, Goathland and eventually Whitby and Scarsboro. Our true destination was for dinner in Whitby at the famous "Magpie" restaurant. I think it was fish and chips for most of us.</div>

Oh, I did not realize that in Bram Stoker's Dracula, Whitby is where the ship carrying the Count's coffin is wrecked and the remains are brought ashore. Why, I do believe this might be the Count doing a little shopping...</div>

On the Tuesday, Matty and John again spent the day driving us thru the Yorkshire Dales. The Tan Hill Inn is the highest (in elevation) pub/inn in Great Britain. It is also famous because a couple of winters ago about a dozen employees and guests were snowed in for about a week. Hey, beer, liquor, food, beds, toilets, etc. - could have been worse -- they could have been at the Knavesmire Manor!</div>

We drove down into the little village of Askrigg -- this is where the series "All Creatures Great and Small" was filmed and below is the house used as the vet's office and home. Directly across from this building is a private home -- we all commented on what an un-inspired door and trim colour the owners had selected. Well, that evening, Matt popped in a DVD of the old series -- we laughed because that very house was in one of the scenes with the same trim and door colour!!!</div>

On the Wednesday (day before our departure) our friends Caroline and Mark dedicated a full day to us. Dave was eager to ride the North Yorkshire Moores Railway. This is a small system run completely by volunteers using old steam engines and various old style carriages. The line runs from Pickering to Whitby. So, we all had lunch in the station tea room then Caro and Mark drove to Whitby to meet Dave and I at the other end. The drive is about 20 mins, but the train takes about an hour and 20 mins. It was a wonderful experience and one that I believe Dave really enjoyed. Upon our arrival in Whitby Caro and Mark were at the station waiting. We strolled thru Whitby (yes, Whitby twice in one visit) and had some lunch...during lunch Dave had us all in stitches by doing his impressions of some of the Houston/Southern locals...</div>

<br />
Caught a 9:35 flight from Philly on 23/12/11 and arrived into Houston about 13:00 (1:00 P.M.).<br />
<br />
Friday evening Dave prepared a lovely dinner of Deep-Fried turkey, stuffing and the trimmings. We were joined by Allen, Louisa and Dave's neighbor Gary.<br />
<br />
Saturday was spent doing some last minute shopping and then dinner at Annie's home with her children Allen, Louisa, Voleria and Dave's neighbor Gary. Both Dave and I bought Annie and her family gift cards and thought that the kids would be disappointed with being handed an envelope with a card. So, we stopped at a local grocery store and bought cans of sardines, mussels and packages of Ramin noodle soups and we taped the cards to the backs and/or bottoms of the cans and packages...the kids' expressions were priceless -- then they turned the cans over to find the gift cards!!!<br />
<br />
Dave surprised me with a beautiful glass vase. Actually, I had asked him to bid on it for me at the local auction, but he claimed he left his seat and when he came back the vase had already been sold!!!!<br />
<br />

Had the most bumpy flight ever -- we had tail winds of approx 240 miles per hour which made for a short flight, i.e. a short, but BUMPY flight. It was one of the rare times while flying that I've actually started checking for the "little bag" -- and I don't mean "doggie bag". Now, mind you, that didn't mean I didn't eat my dinner, drink my champagne, nor eat my brekky...!!!<br />
<br />
Anyway, the holiday shopping season is in full swing here in Olde London Town and it's very exciting. The high streets are teeming with shoppers, the streets are aglow with holiday decorations and lights and the shops are incredible. That said, Harrods (not one of my favorite shops) was soooooo crowded that one could not move -- and I only went there in search of lamps for a certain person -- you know who you are!!!<br />
<br />
Well, here are a couple of photos...I hope you enjoy...<br />

The addition is coming along like gang-busters. The scaffolding is down -- I guess now people won't be able to refer to the house as "the one with all the scaffolding". With everything in full progress and with the house unencumbered by the scaffolding the beauty and possibilities for the gardens are starting to show thru. There is a beautiful view from the side porch -- looking toward the back of the garden which would look incredible planted as an allee with a possible ending point of a sculpture or even a pergola. Take a look at the pics below:</strong><br />

Wow, in just 2 days the new stucco has been completed, all the trims have been primed and even some trims have their final colours applied. I am so thrilled with the subtle, mono-chromatic colour scheme of the exterior. The palette we've selected really brings out all the original terra-cotta ornamentation.

The place was buzzing with activity. The addition is well on it's way, the new replacement windows have arrived, the windows and trims have all been scraped and are having their primers applied. There are holes punched everywhere for the new heating and air conditioning and electrical wiring. The two 2nd floor baths have been knocked together to make one luxurious master bath and the new 3rd floor baths have been framed. <br />
<br />
Here are some pix...<br />

<strong>Well, after weeks or preparation, and a month of being opened, the Chestnut Hill Designer Show house has closed. Now, it's a matter of sorting thru items, accessories and furniture which have been deposit at my office/home -- the description "Bomb Site" comes to mind.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>I think the show was a great success for almost all involved. Many of the participants look forward to the possibility of another house in the future. </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Aside from the professional/business success for me I am thrilled to have acquired some really lovely new friends. I look forward to many years of friendship. I think the 4 bottles of champagne, opened the second the doors closed for the last time, helped to lubricate some of these new friendships -- you know who you are -- N.N.!!!!!</strong><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black;"><strong>I think I speak for almost everyone involved in this new venture when I say thanks to all who helped to make it a true success.</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

If you should ever find yourself in North Yorkshire the Mouseman Workshop and Showroom is a must. It's tucked away off the A19 and is such a wonderful cabinet shop in a perfect "English Village". Every piece, no matter how large or small, will have a mouse carved into or onto it. All pieces are of English oak. I will admit, I did a little Christmas shopping while there.</strong><br />

This is one of my all-time favorite homes. It's the home of Lord Lascelles -- a first cousin to the Queen. The interiors of the home are almost all designed by Robert Adam with much of the furniture made by Thomas Chippendale the elder and the younger. There are rooms with the original Adam designed carpets (which almost always mirrored the design of the room's ceiling) -- really just breath-taking. After touring the house we stopped at the tea shop on the terrace and had a late afternoon tea with cake. A short drive back to wains road and a little updating of the blog before I tuck in for a quick nap. I hear John and Matt are preparing a lovely Indian meal for this evening's "Tea" -- which is Yorkshire for dinner -- don't ask!!!!<br />
<br />
Here are a couple PIX of the terrace gardens at Harewood...<br />

Above 80...<br />
<br />
Anyway, Friday arrived -- had a wonderful "Full English" breakfast then made my way to Kings Cross station for my 2 hour train trip to York.<br />

</tbody></table><br />
Got on the train early -- sat there for about 15 mins -- no AC -- assumed the AC would come on once the train engines started. 11:23 arrived, engines started, NO AC. I booked 1st class to be comfortable...the train travel was 2 hours long and we all roasted in our coach. Arrived into York at about 13:15 -- picked up my rental car -- drove to Wains Road. Had a chat with John, looked at all the little "JOBS" someone had lined up for me, then took a wee nap.<br />
<br />
John fixed a wonderful meal of Shepard's pie -- made with fresh Yorkshire shepards -- cooked carrots, PURPLE cauliflower and fresh runner beans (string beans) from the garden!!! Wow, what a meal!!! <br />
<br />
Was still suffering from jet-lag, so turned in early.<br />
<br />

I've never taken a flight as late as this one (11:05 PM), but it was great. Had dinner in the lounge at Newark, a Gin and Tonic after dinner, a little Champagne and OJ pre-take off, then a little salad of roasted prawn with a raspberry dressing and a dessert of marscapone and fresh berries. Went right to sleep for a few hours and woke to a breakfast of fruit, coffee, and a bacon sarnie (sandwich -- don't ask!) with HP Brown Sauce!!!!!</strong><br />

<strong>Arrived, as I said, on time...breezed thru passport check...luggage waiting...hopped onto the Heathrow Express to Paddington and was checked into my hotel by 12:45! It was actually beautiful and sunny yesterday -- 27C/80F. Had a little nap then made my way to Buckingham Palace States Rooms. Have been thru the palace so many times I just sort of headed straight to the Faberge exhibition and of course the Duchess's wedding gown. It was all spectacular. I was fortunate to be walking in front of a young lady who worked on the lace for the wedding gown. I got to hear all that she was telling her friend. It was actually machine made lace, that was then cut-out and applied to netting so that the pattern could be customized for the dress. Apparently there would not have been enough time to make the required lace panels/pattern/design. Anyway, as always I completely enjoyed the visit.</strong> <br />

</tbody></table>Let me tell you, the trip to 30th Street train station was a white-knuckle ride. No AC in the cab, music blarring, and the driver going 50 - 60 down Wissahickon Drive. I was glad to get to the station. The train ride was very plesant. I'll add more later today/tomorrow???<br />

<br />
Well, preparing for my flight to my second home -- the United Kingdom. My last visit was back April when those two crazy kids, Kathy and Billy, had that little wedding. I thought I'd fly over just to support them. I told everyone to look for me on the telly -- I'd be standing next to the black lamp post waving a British flag! Well, who would have guessed there would be a couple of others with the same idea.<br />
<br />
This time I'll be visiting one of my favorite shops in North Yorkshire -- The Mouseman of Kilburn. This cabinet making shop is still family owned and the grandchildren of the original cabinet maker (Robert Thompson)still work at the workbenches and in the retail shop. Every piece of this beautiful oak furniture has a mouse carved somewhere on it -- hence "The Mouseman"... Click the link below and browse the site and read the history of "The Mouseman".<br />
<br />

<br />
If you look at the right bank of drawers on this dressing table -- right at the center drawer you can see the MOUSE carved right on the edge...<br />

All is going very good. Good attendance for week one -- momentum will build as we progress. Seems like sale of room items is healthy. BTW, anyone attending the show house can take advantage of a 10% discount at 6 of our local restaurants just by showing your ticket stub -- and it's good for the run of the house (Oct, 16th). <br />
<br />
Take a look at the picture below -- top pic is how the room looked when we originally viewed it...and pic #2 is the completed/transformed space.<br />

<span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
Jay Susanin's "Palladio Designs" is the most incredible framing shop right here in Chestnut Hill. Jay did so much of the framing in my show house room -- which turned out to be such an asset to the completed project. Palladio has an incredible selection of frame designs -- I can guarantee you will find exactly what you are looking for. Aside from all that, Mr. Susanin is helpful, friendly and easy on the eyes...!!!<br />

A and I have been friends for over 41 years...nursery school mates!!! Anywho, "V" & "A" made a major decision about three years ago to leave the east coast and start a new life in Palm Springs, CA. Once they located and settled on a house I was asked to come out and help organize, select colors, pick a couple fabrics, etc. The results are unlike any of the neighbors'! We worked with what was moved from the east coast and then off-set those pieces with a couple of new items. We also recovered some old be-loved pieces, re-purposed some items and just really "spiffed" up the old place. <br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy the results...this was truly a collaboration of us all...<br />

</div><strong><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My faithful assistant, Sheila, and I are off to visit a client of over 30 years. A couple of years ago G & B purchased a stunning 18th/19th century home in Basking Ridge, NJ. The house is one that "B" desired for many, many years. After much work, restoration, renovation and rebuilding the house is coming close to the finish line. What started out as "a little" make over of "B's" bathroom turned into remodeling/restoring of 3 others. Then, there was the rebuilding of the 19th century smoke house. One evening a rather intoxicated driver missed the turn, took out a few 200+ year old boxwood and landed dead-center into the brick smoke house -- with the shingled roof resting on the hood of the car. As fate would have it, after much searching for the proper professionals, the smoke house is now a beauty. BTW, "G", how're those hams coming along? LOL!!!</span></strong><br />

He found a lovely new place with lots of wall space (for his art collection/collecting) and a wall of huge windows overlooking a rear garden. We sent most of the furnishing to auction and then introduced a few new pieces with a more transitional look. Then, the true gem of Dave's new home -- his garden.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Well Done Dave!!!</strong></span><br />
