• Thanksgiving 2008

    by  • 29 Nov ’08 • Uncategorized • 20 Comments

    I consider myself to be undeniably blessed and most fortunate to have so many wonderful people in my life. Ever since I started All the Best it seems as if the best of all worlds have collided and I am the lucky recipient of its offerings. Of course I am most grateful for the support of my husband and son, both who encourage me on a daily basis.

    Over the past two years I have had the pleasure of corresponding with so many fantastic readers and industry icons, several of whom have become close friends. Not only have I benefited from these remarkable friendships, but my family has as well. This year Thomas Burak and Michael Devine, two of the most gracious men I know, invited us to New York for Thanksgiving. It was one of our finest Thanksgivings in recent memory—delicious food and libations, gorgeous surroundings, a stunning view of the Empire State Building, a crackling fire, enlightened conversation, laughter and great friends. Thank you Thomas and Michael you truly are the best!

      I would have been PINCHING myself, over them, AND your family and that wonderful, warm apartment. How exciting was that? And that view. Your son looks like a 50/50 version of you both!
      Glad you had a great time.

      Truly, a Thanksgiving you will never forget! What a lovely apartment, and how gracious of Michael to invite you and your family.

      Your son is adorable. Is he a redhead? It looks like it from the pictures. He actually looks quite British!

      Thank you Things That Inspire! He is more of a strawberry blonde, and you are right, he looks quite British. He fits in well living in Scotland.

      I agree your son looks British – and he’s really a Texan (don’t let him forget the Alamo! haha!)

      That apartment – omg – the banquette – the chairs – the wall with the blackamoors – it is stunning – truly! I wish I could have been there with y’all!!!! It looks so wonderful.

      Just wondering what was the most memorable part of this exquisite moment! I think the wall color is divine and one would have found me sketching fast and furiously in some corner!
      Thanks for sharing your NY Thanksgiving!

      I live in Manhattan and OH MY GOD that apartment of theirs is truly of the high end. I have a cute pad of my own but it is nowhere near the sumptuousness of that space. WOW!
