Re: Thursday Parties

Whoa, Holly, don’t tell everyone to program their GPSs just yet.  It’s Dallas, it’s the fall, and it’s Thursday, which means there are more events than you can possibly attend.  Here are a few more musts:  Paws Cause at Stanley Korshak, 5 -8, previewing “Designer Pet Beds” benefiting the SPCA, (slam a few Grey Gooses there.)  Then, check out the newest European appliances from Electrolux at Capital Distributing from 6 - 8, (you know there will be great hors d-oevres there.)  Then go to Allan Knight’s for a fabulous event featuring new lines there. (You might want to look at your invitation, there are about $10,000 worth of prizes to be raffled.  (Catering by George will be making sure you lack for nothing.)  After that, you can go home, and just hope you can get up in the morning.

Thursday Night Parties at Gardens and Nest

There are two big events going on tomorrow night. First, head over to Gardens in the West Village for a good cause. Gardens is hosting a booksigning and reception from 6-8 benefiting the Literary Council for the Dallas Arboretum. Pick up your copy of hard-to-find The Gardens of Brecy: A Lasting Landscape (not available through U.S. booksellers) and Sanctuary: Photographs (artist will be present; image below). And, as if you would need any more of an incentive, Gardens is offering a 10% store-wide discount during the event.

After you are finished up at Gardens, head over to Nest in Snider Plaza. Nest is having a bash from 7-9 to celebrate Greg Piazza’s art opening in their upstairs gallery. I blogged about Greg’s work in the past, but if you need reminding, he does the striped/plaid artwork on plexiglass backs (see below). Super mod and chic. You can gaze at all his work while sipping on some cocktails and grooving to some live music. Make sure to call 214-373-4444 to RSVP (if you RSVP, you get a gift!).

The Knockoff Files: Z Gallerie Sale Extended

Look, let’s be honest. You can’t outfit your entire house in showroom couture (or maybe you can and, if so, I applaud your financial dexterity). Sometimes you need to augment those designer pieces with a few choice knockoffs. That’s where Z Gallerie comes in. Shop carefully and you can find some choice pieces at reasonable prices. And shop now and you’ll save 15% on accessories, 10% on stocked furniture and lighting, and 25% on select bar and dinnerware. Whew. That’s a lot of savings. But shop quickly. The sale only lasts until Nov. 17. I’m in love with this Ming end table in white lacquered wood with tiered glass tops. It’s only $299 and that’s for any size: coffee, end, or console. Once again: that’s a nice price and for a lot of look.
