Dear friends,
Spring has sprung, and I don't know about you but I am very grateful for the change in weather! Solitary walks in the fresh air have been one of the things that have helped our team stay sane during this time. I'm lucky to live close to two wonderful places to soak up the Spring weather while maintaining social distance- Greenwood Cemetery and Prospect Park. Make sure to take a minute for yourself this week to watch the clouds, get some sun, and admire the flowers!
But of course we need some indoor activities too!
-
Exciting news!!! Check out "The Plot Against America" on HBO! We had the honor and delight of providing some of the jewelry for the show, and its a great watch!
-
"Stay in your House with Veloria" mixes! One of our favorites James Veloria is putting together mixes that are 100% the perfect soundtrack for playing dress up and voguing in the mirror.
-
Our neighbor the Metropolitan Opera's has an "At-Home Gala" Stream coming up on April 25th!
This week we would like to share some pieces with you that celebrate the season! So find somewhere sunny, grab some lemon cake and tea, and settle down to admire these lovelies!
