We still heart NY

Thread and Butter are both taking a break this week from the Royal.....we are catching up with friends eating ethnic food whenever we can and getting our city fix! Check back on Monday for more Royal updates!

Thanks to Milton Glaser for a really great logo!

We live in a college town, all three traffic lights worth of a college town. The last two weeks have been a challenge with the students having no idea of a 'inside' voice when walking down to the local watering hole to blow off steam from studying. Well they are now gone! The town is quiet, with no traffic and simply divine. In the wake of the exodus the students just throw things away they don't have time to deal with properly. So while taking Oscar out for his walk this weekend Butter had spied a few choice pieces. The small love seat with ball and claw feet was still there once she got Thread rousted to go collect the treasure. Once that was dropped off we decided to drive over to another large grouping of student housing; where, we as students at this same college ventured to ONCE to party. We went once and vowed to never go back ever again. Well we went back to this Levittown like development and it was a ghost town, no treasures in the garbage well except for Mr. Log here, who will be joining us in the living room just soon enough.

Now We're Cooking (No, Really!)

Thread went away for the weekend and when she came back, this is the kitchen she came home to:



Hooray! Now this looks MUCH more like a functioning kitchen.
Special thanks to Mama Butter and Andy for help moving the stove downstairs. Extra special thanks to........Matthew and Lara, who were great neighbors from Brooklyn. Butter got schooled on how to hang a super heavy shelf on a plaster wall...it's much easier than she thought.

Now of course there are lots of small things that need to be done, such as placement of accouterments that we will only know the best place once we begin cooking! So there will be a few more after pictures once we are fully up and cooking.
