. Scully & Scully has been providing the finest home furnishings and top-of-the-line luxury gifts since its doors opened on Park Avenue in 1934. Proceeds from sales in the store on April 17, 18 and 19th benefit The Fund for Park Avenue.
Oooh you knew we were going to love this table - Matthew told us we were the first to review this book! Here is our review:
You ought to read it too!
We were thrilled to finally meet him:
Now, check out his table:
Matthew must be reading as you all know green is our FAVORITE color! Of course you know from the review that he is also IRISH.
He says never invest in a trend and he's right.
A total classic, this was gorgeous.
Next up was Melissa who is a big Tweeter-maybe we should take a hint from her and Tweet more-today she already said:
saw blogging buds @james_andrew @quintessenceblg@what2wearwhere & @Manhattanpeachy last nite at Scully & Scully's@FundforParkAve soiree...
So thank you for that attention, Melissa!
Melissa looks like she is an advocate of primary colors.
Our friends Karen Klopp and Kate Edmonds join Melissa and her table!
Kate thinks the flowers smell just divine!
You remember Kate from her smashing animal gala:
Peachy dressed to match the table-a coincidence!
Next up was a lovely edition of pink & green!
We just met Hilary and we think we ought to review her book too!
She is on the far right with Barbara McLaughlin, James Andrew on the far left and our new friend Derek Limbocker who may have some splendid wine recommendations for you in future posts.
One of our favorite books by Rizzoli last year was Rooftop Gardens and the last time we saw Evelyn Lauder we complimented her on it. We loved Evelyn and she is a Mover and Shaker in heaven now. Read her interview:
She even did a commercial for us the last time we saw her:
We reviewed this book when it came out because she wrote the foreword:
And it was another gorgeous table to see!
We were so pleased to finally meet the authors, Denise Le Frak is on the left and is joined by Roberta Amon.
Finally we come to the fifth table!
Again, it is based on another book we were pleased to review:
This table matches the current Park Avenue the best with the yellow Tulips!

Peachy is only standing that way because in the previous photo that we deleted her feathers were in the face of Lewis Feder. So, she tipped her head back.

We've never seen Stephen in a suit before.
So, it required a picture!
