Lazy Girl at the Summer Soiree

Oysterponds:
Historical not Hysterical 
The Oysterponds Historical Society's Old Schoolhouse needs a new roof. So a persuasive auctioneer raised $25,000 to pay for it from the generous crowd at the Summer Soirée last Saturday evening.

Richard and I attended the swellegant party which was held in Poquatuck Park, a broad swath of lawn which gives on to the Peconic Bay in Orient, New York. A white tent had been pitched with white pennants fluttering in the wind.

 My sister, Jeanne Markel, and me.

My Pucci blouse is a gift from The Stylecrone,

Judith Boyd.

The pants are vintage via the

Manhattan Vintage Show.

Store Presentation at the Bergdorf Goodman department store, NYC

I am standing with artist, Barbara Bloom.

 A huge hit with Richard,

the raw bar.

 Little Neck clams.

a summer evening.

 Love this dramatic green and black dress

A sweet couple shared our table.

When I asked this gent for his picture,

he said to hurry up.

I thought this necklace was quite something.

Study in blues and baby in pink.

Fabulous Diane von Furstenberg dress

and the lady is stunning as well.

Love her color-block sweater and the striped dress.

Birds of a feather...

Ekta bought the birdhouse fascinator

that I made for the auction in collaboration

with Elizabeth Gordon.
