Weekend Market Picks April 20 – 21, 2013: LazyLooz No Bake Biscuit Cakes

LazyLooz is the brainchild of Rakan Ammouri, based on a snack his mother used to make for her kids. LazyLooz are no-bake snack cakes made essentially from biscuits and chocolate, along with other ingredients as desired, such as coconut, peanut butter, coffee or orange zest. One package of LazyLooz includes six satisfying bite-sized pieces. I brought home a chocolate chip LazyLooz and placed it in the fridge. After a dinner, I brought out a lovely pot of tea and the cold Looz.

Photo of the Day 1/16/13 – Kieselstein-Cord Sterling Buckle at the Antiques Garage

How I’ve made it this far without discovering the work of Barry Kieselstein-Cord, I have no idea. But I’m glad I happened upon his stunning sterling silver belt buckle last weekend at the Antiques Garage. Collectibles and decorative arts specialist Roslyn Raphan was showing several examples of Kieselstein-Cord’s work at her tables in the Garage. Her taste is exquisite, and she is available for private appointments for clients to spend time looking at her collections. This par

Weekend Market Picks, September 29 & 30, 2012 + Luv U Me Organic Perfumes & Scrubs

I remember how I cried when the bottom dropped off the box holding my new bottle of Takashimaya perfume that James had given me for Christmas, and how my closet smelled so wonderful for several weeks afterwards, as the perfume lingered. I also remember the replacement bottle that arrived from Takashimaya a few days later, swathed in gold tissue paper with multiple adhesive stickers on the box to make sure it stayed attached to the top cover, not to mention lovely handwritten

Weekend Market Picks July 28-29, 2012 + The Indie Style Society

Nothing says “hot summer in the city” better than comfy, sexy cut-off shorts. These Daisy Dukes are from The Indie Style Society and Meghann Early at Artists & Fleas. Meghan takes previously loved jeans, cuts them into shorts and then shreds them strategically. She dyes them in fun colors, like these lime green ones, and washes them twice to fix the color. She adds cool detailing, like rows of studs. I understand that Meghanm can also make custom hip hotpants from your own fa

Photo of the Day – July 10, 2010: Hobbit Rare Books and Prints

Looking for prints of ducks or quail to decorate your Hamptons library? Or Victorian images of palm trees to enhance the walls of your tiny apartment in the city? You need only go up to the second floor of the Antiques Garage to find multiple tables strewn with hundreds of old prints and books from Hobbit Rare Books and Prints. The subject matter is practically infinite, from birds and animals, to plants and palm trees, to architecture and history. Proprietor Arby Rolband
