Maggie and I have sort of an understood tradition that we do markets together. The Brooklyn Flea every summer, and the Chelsea Market or Union Square holiday market every Christmas. I’ve really wanted to go to Smorgasburg since I first heard about it, so yesterday I loaded H into the car and we had out first adventure on Maggie’s home turf.

My friends got together for my birthday, and we had the best time. Dinner at Fresco by Scotto with several of my favorite people.
Then a bunch of us headed into Brooklyn for Floating Kabarette, an amazing burlesque show held every Saturday at Galapagos Art Space. Can’t recommend it enough, $10 bucks for the most fun I’ve had since my last birthday. Aerialists, can-can girls, the Red Hook Ramblers ragtime band. Fabulous!
Last night I met Adam and his colleague Mike at their office downtown, and we all headed to Brooklyn to see Mike’s apartment, meet his 2-year-old daughter, and go out to dinner with his wife Katsuko.
So I said back when I was making my Bianco/Rosso Bag that I thought the basic shape would also make cool pillows. I have another friend with an upcoming birthday and a new apartment in Brooklyn, so I took my own suggestion and made her a pair. I made some changes, like not quilting them. I was tempted to call them Tricolore Pillows, but I don’t want the Italian thing to get out of hand.
