Last week my blogging schedule had gone to the dogs due to the introduction of the new puppy, Pancake. Although I managed to get 3 blogs posted the 1st week he was home, this past one I could barely catch a break from refereeing the constant melees between the 2 bullies, cleaning up an assortment of digestive activities and repetitive ... read more
This post will not be relevant nor informative because I've got this puppy situation which consumes all my blogging time and well, it's my birthday and I believe no one should work on this sacred day. xxoo. ps. his name is (buttermilk) pancake. ... read more
With the arrival of spring there are a few certainties: there will be one more snowfall after March 29th, NYC street fairs will clog the avenues hawking lemonade & crepes every 4 feet and that all weekends through June will be scheduled with at least 1 occasion to congratulate, celebrate or honor an expecting mother, blissful bride or long ... read more
My first formal introduction to the absurdly talented Adam Wallacavage was on an incredibly humid July afternoon 5 years ago. He was signing copies of his photography book, Monster Size Monsters at the Jonathan Levine Gallery where my dog had been scheduled to ‘take down’ an art installation that was comprised of Mylar balloons to be later posted ... read more
A few months ago I had posted a photojeanie blog about a unique and innovated photo collage created for my mother who had celebrated a monumental birthday. Well, my father had one as well – in the same week turning the same age. As much as Daddy enjoys a cup of tea, I couldn’t present him with a visual time capsule set in porcelain. He needed ... read more
I have long desired a professionally shot portrait of Little Bit, photojeanie’s inspector of quality control. I emphasize professional, as there is no shortage of photographic evidence of Little Bit’s irresistible mug – iphoto alone possesses 1426 images and that only covers the past 5 years. However, I had yet to encounter an example of pet ... read more
Yes, you read that blog title correctly. The Fire Roasted Tomato & Olive Oil Triscuit is so piquant that you will break out in a little boogie and that I am dedicating an entire partiejeanie blog to this baked golden square of wholesomeness. Once you try this tangy Triscuit flavor, i guarantee you will be in full agreement (and possibly cutting ... read more
Even at the age of 104, my beloved and logical grandfather, Poppy never looked at photograph without flipping it to the non-image side to search for pertinent information. If the paper side were blank, he would be quick to point out that one should ALWAYS include the name, date and location of said photo. He would then add that one might remember ... read more
I love when I get to play partyjeanie and photojeanie for the same audience. Not only do have an opportunity to craft a truly personalized and individualized celebration for someone special, but I also get to design and execute a memorable and specific scrapbook that captures the essence of the occasion. A great way to involve all the guests is ... read more
I finally had the opportunity to dine at Tipsy Parson located in Chelsea – I guess the opportunity had always been available I just hadn’t taken advantage. The restaurant is in close proximity of an art gallery I frequent and last night I insisted on booking a table after the opening party. Accompanied by my equally eager companion who I will ... read more
