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!).
