You are such a wealth of information! Wish I could attend Friday mornings event, but I'm scheduled for another meeting in Westchester.

The Avenue's "Antiques and Art at the Armory" event in Park Avenue sounds like it will be a wonderful occasion. I just wish I could attend instead if being here in the UK. I have long been an admirer of Mario Buatta and his great flair for the English country house look. I do hope one day he'll publish his own book about his years of experience in interior design. I'm sure it would be a best seller.
