A little bird told me yesterday that there is a new project up at Isabel Lopez-Quesada’s site. If you haven’t stopped there before, do take a minute. If you have, scroll right until you see Asturias, Espana 2010 to see the new work. A portion of this project appeared in World of Interiors recently; what you didn’t see was terrific, too. Here.
Speaking of Todd Romano, his wares are available on 1st dibs and he has this lovely Louis wearing a little Le Lac. Pretty spiffy use of not-so-much fabric.
Fortunately, Emily Evans Eerdmans, Castaing’s biographer, and I are friends and she’s coming to Kansas City to sign books on Friday. Emily will be at Parrin & Co., Barbara Farmer’s beautiful shop (pictured above) at 45th and State Line. All the shops will be open and, yes, I do think it will be a bit of a party. 
A couple of times I have been lucky enough to have my blogging friends come to Kansas City to shop and eat and meet. There is nothing I like better than being able to show off this terrific city. Do save the date, November 5th, to meet the lovely, gracious and talented Emily Evans Eerdmans (I know these things are true because I have met her on her home turf) when she is here signing her newest book, The World of Madeleine Castaing. Better still, she will be doing so at Parrin & Co. at 45th & State Line. All the dealers will be open with spirits and snacks and Rainy Day Books will have copies on hand for Emily to sign.
Or two or four.
