End of Summer Dance Party

I biked over to East River Park in Williamsburg to meet a friend. We witnessed the Dept. of Sanitation burning... or something else over there burning!

Later we walked over to McCarren Park to meet some other friends. On the way, we stopped at a few good shops...

First stop, a small used book/record shop on Wythe Avenue. I purchased a paperback of Moll Flanders for $1.

Afterward, we popped into this neat little scent shop called CB: I Hate Perfume... Lining the white square shelves were hundreds of little vials, all filled with unique blends of random scents... Leather, Burning Wood, some Apple blend, and so on. Scents that remind you of specific events in your life. Which is the point of this venture, I think. I loved it! If anyone is in the area, please (!!) make a visit to this place. It is fantastic!

Then we continued on to the Park...

After a lounge in the grass, the bunch of us meandered around the neighborhood for awhile, grabbing a drink at The Charleston on Bedford Avenue, then making our way over to Havemeyer Street.

We enjoyed a delicious dinner at Nha Toi, then decided to have an ending of the summer dance party at my vintage shop.
It was wonderful! Like having a dress-up party in a big walk-in costume closet! Actually, that is exactly what it was...

This was, by far, the most fun event to happen this summer.

Kate the Birthday Girl

On Sunday my friend Kate, a culinary student, came over and we made a delicious birthday dinner with my roommates.
It was filled with beautiful heirloom tomatoes from my roommates parent's garden, and an assortment of fresh vegetables.
I love the colors of fresh fruits and vegetables. Beautiful.

Mural & Beacon

I did a bit more work on that mural in my apartment.

And I went to Beacon, NY to visit some family. We spent some time outside playing ping pong. I thought it was great how the dog was watching everything so intently; sitting there on the towel, not even interested in chasing loose balls... I also found it interesting that he wasn't making a sound (he's usually extremely loud, barking all the time)... during this time he was so quite... Just watching.

Painting & Beach Time

The other night I was up all night painting a huge mural on my apartment wall. It is one of the best feelings. To be able to do that and not worry about getting in trouble for it.

On Saturday, I visited Rockaway Beach with some friends. That evening we relocated to my apartment to continue the festivities. What fun it is to share giant goblet of whiskey!

A Tree Fell Down in Brooklyn.

I was working in my little shop when I heard some commotion outside.
A huge tree fell down in the street! It knocked down a bike rider then fell on top of a car, trapping the driver in until it was removed.
It caused quite a commotion!
