NIGHTLIGHT: Young Collectors Night at The Winter Antiques Show, Benefiting the East Side House Settlement

On Thursday, January 27th 2011, East Side House Settlement hosted Young Collectors Night at The Winter Antiques Show. Held at the Park Avenue Armory, the show featured many of the world’s most influential antique dealers in the United States and Europe. The event Co-Chairs were Courtney Booth and Emily Israel. The Vice Chairs were Valerie and Brad Aston, Alexandra Buckley Voris, Stephanie and Frederick Clark, Kipton Cronkite, Britt and Cristin DeVeer, Elizabeth Meigher, Billy Nacey, Anika Yael Natori, Allyson and Chris Pachios, Tatiana G.P. Perkin, Marie Rentschler, and Caroline Rowley. Elizabeth Meigher had the best dress of the night and we were pleased to meet her in person. Mover and Shaker Jennifer Dixon attended with Peachy Deegan, and they both wore Hunter Dixon.

We are totally into collecting at Whom You Know and cover it most frequently in Advantageous Auctions, featuring Bonhams and Sotheby's most frequently. The Winter Antiques show gives us another opportunity to keep up with antiquing and collecting and we love it! The evening offered a private viewing of America’s most prestigious antiques show to enthusiasts of art, antiques, and interior design. Our favorite item was the chandelier in Liz O'Brien; it doesn't hurt her that she's Irish and of course we have fully disclosed our Chandelier obsession in Chandelier Peachy. Sponsored by New York magazine and Elie Tahari, the night provided guests with the opportunity to meet New York magazine’s Design Editor and Chairwoman of the Interior Design Committee, Wendy Goodman, along with 45 of the country’s most illustrious designers.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
