with a bang

The fourth is just around the corner…  memories

McCambridge Park in Burbank, when I was little, all day picnics, baseball games, bocce ball, nightfall and magical fireworks

Going to Balboa Island with family A LOT OF THEM… aunts, uncles, cousins and the queen grama.

A married woman with a child, but I felt like I was going to summer camp.  I couldn’t wait to spend the week with family. Meals together, the beach together and cards all night.

Spending the day at big Corona swimming all day, getting tan, building drip sand castles with Nino and Gianna then going home to a wonderful dinner my gram would have prepared, pasta with a rich lamb sauce, papparul… a vinegar-y fried bell pepper and melanzane.

Peaches and figs bursting with their sweet nectar. Cakes soaked in lemony, sugary, and butter goodness.

We would pile into my uncle’s pick-up and head for the fireworks this was pure heaven.

So my dear Pergolian’s my wish for you this fourth is one filled with wonder and deliciousness and maybe makes a memory

All for you my lovelies

FATHER DAD PADRE DADDY PAPA BOMPA POPS


A dad is someone who
wants to catch you before you fall
but instead picks you up,
brushes you off,
and lets you try again.
A dad is someone who
holds you when you cry,
scolds you when you break the rules,
shines with pride when you succeed,
and has faith in you even when you fail...


Vintage cufflinks, Italian pewter picture frame, pens made in France, canvas dop bags and Laguiole corkscrews, are waiting for you at Pergolina!

Father knows best... We love our notebooks, handmade in England luxurious cream paper with gilt edges, covered in lizard embossed leather.   Show him how much you appreciate his advice!


A little nip now and again couldn’t hurt


….and much more

Dear Pergolians

          

....... so much to tell you

i am finally winding down from a very hectic week of thinking looking deciding buying thinking some more and signing

i love this time of year i feel like i am on a merry go round a beautiful one i choose a different animal every day i ride while eating cotton candy

the city brings fire to my spirit i can't wait to hit the streets in the morning with the cast of life i follow groups of people so many different languages when i hear italian i perk up trying to translate yesterday a little boy named massimo was scolded by his mother he gave her attitude his father grabbed his arm he cried i watched as i was waiting for a bus ...then the mother and father kissed him as i rode away he went skipping down the street

i went to Brooklyn for the day great architecture friendly people wonderful lunch treasures on the street

i could live in Brooklyn heights

the javits is where i walk the isles of beauty and stuff  all day
seeing items thinking about who might like this or that building a story in my mind where i might put it
thousands of things from all over the world
we've made friends over the 23 years, a by chance meeting with CAVALLINI owner Brad P. @ the oyster bar reminiscing 
friends from  LA Japan Italy canada
We saw
Makie from NY
it had been 3 years Makie' remembered steve .....

this is why i come to NY to look up,to walk the isles, to be inspired, to drink the water, to see friends, to go to Eataly, to have oysters,  a slice, to chat with cabbies
to think about Georgia O'keefe

and to bring magic back to PERGOLINA
