Short and Sweet

We're into Color
This post will be short and sweet. Short, because I have to pack for our month in the country -- back to Orient, New York. We have rented a house for August in a village so charming it should be illegal and will be leaving this Thursday.

I will be posting from Orient, as I did last year. Some of you readers may remember the infamous silverware drawer post where I told of having to organize the knives and forks in our rental before I could relax with a good chardonnay. I did not realize that my landlord was actually reading my posts. She was very apologetic about the whole affair though. So kind of her.

This year, I do not intend to reorganize any silverware drawers. The linen closet -- well that could be another story.

I will share with you now some recent sartorial acquisitions for both the mister and me. And please look for my frequent posts from Orient, Long Island, New York.

 Richard and I at Madame Matouvu's vintage

shop in the West Village.

I am wearing one of her "scarf" dresses

which she designs using vintage scarves.

She is most adept at combing the colors and patterns.

 Richard with Rosemary Wettenhall (Madame) and

Nadia. Richard is wearing his new Italian-cotton

green jacket and yellow trousers from St. Laurie,

Merchant Tailors.

 At our favorite West Village haunt, Le Gigot.

This is a splendid shot of Ricardo in his new duds.

See you in Orient!

Happy Summer.
