Street News & Special Events THE SMITHY is open for the season (YAY), with everything from local milk to homemade soups to go, and all manner of good thing from THE MINDFUL KITCHEN's new chef, Anne Gallagher. PERGOLA's opening party on April 7th was a big success, catered by OLIVA CAFE, Ann Gallagher at THE MINDFUL KITCHEN, and NINE MAIN CAFE -- all New Preston businesses. Pergola's new cherry tree overlooking the waterfall cooperated by being in full bloom. Their new expansion has succeeded in creating a seemless transition between two adjoining spaces, more than doubling in size and surprises. New space, new collections, lots of new wonders. At J. SEITZ & CO. Friday, May 25th through Monday, May 28th THE FIREHOUSE has just opened yet another room in its space above Dawn Hill Antiques featuring a wildly expanded collection of children's clothing and gifts. And, they've added a nicely-edited selection of seasonal shoes for women including the always-comfy Gentle Souls. Check out these hot lace-up, hand-crafted, rubber, all-weather boots by Danish designer, Ilse Jacobsen. SWEEETS owner Dana Schulman's other business, the Marbledale-based stationery design & party store D.K. Schulman Design, will move to New Preston in June, and will occupy the building...you guessed it...right next to Sweeets. Congratulations Dana! DAWN HILL ANTIQUES is celebrating spring with an amazing array of vintage
pottery vases for cut flowers. (Flowers: yes they're coming any minute.) Paulette is showing a
colorful collection of genuine McCoy in an endless variety of shapes and sizes.
Baba Wague Diakete at NEW PRESTON KITCHEN GOODS: World-renowkned, Mali-born, Oregon artist Baba Wague Diakite paints stories from his homeland on his animal-shaped teapots. These pots are ridiculous...in the best way; in the way even an adult can appreciate. NPKG will exhibit a collection of Diakite's work through April 30th. Also, Marty has posted another great dessert recipe on his new website -- zabaglione-smothered...anything, really. Tools, ingredients, directions, AND pictures (so important to a recipe). Sign up on the WEBSITE to be notified of fattening (but so satisfying) new dessert recipe postings. Whenever someone says art, I reach for my checkbook. Okay, I didn't make that up, but Barry Stromm has nabbed a trove of truly sumptuous landscape paintings by Curtis W. Hanson. Now showing at UPSTAIRS ANTIQUES, above Dawn Hill. While you're there, don't miss the massive Russian cobalt chandelier on display. |
