Hello again!
I am so excited the cold weather is behind us….we have so much to look
forward to this spring. As I am sure most of you will agree, spring is
the time to shed the winter weight (or coat in my case), get out
looking your best and enjoy the town. I’m sure I will be seeing all of
you at the 4th annual Greentree Close Summer Sale in June. The sale
only happens once a year and it features many great buys. We plan to
have paramedics on the premises due to the aggressive antics of last
year’s patrons, perhaps best exemplified by a well-known Lexingtonian
who sprained her wrist climbing over the wall at 7 a.m. the morning of
the sale. Her name will remain a well-guarded secret with me. I don’t
get that excited even when they are throwing out leftover T-bones at
Malone’s. With Spring comes rebirth and a lot of that is going on
around here. I am anticipating the arrival of Belle Maison’s latest
shipment. I will now have a huge selection of Louis XV Bergeres to sit
on. Or perhaps I will choose a bistro chair outside in the sun where I
can enjoy an even better view of the action. I will have to make a
trip across the parking lot to see all of the new merchandise at
Greentree Antiques too. |

Gay and John are quite the Renaissance men, in addition to their
culinary feats at the tearoom they are astute antiquarians who
have been busy acquiring many fine continental furnishings for
their antique shop. And who could ever keep up with Meg? The brown
truck comes in and out of here all day with gorgeous new things
for L.V. Harkness.And now merchandise from Turkey;what country is
she going to conquer next? Another nice thing about spring is,
"love is in the air." I see it daily with all the future brides
and grooms who come to register for their weddings.Which reminds
me…thanks to all of you who responded about my need to improve my
love life (see last newsletter). It has improved, I recently had
the pleasure of meeting Lily and Lizzie, two knockout Yorkys. I
hope I don't have to choose, they are great. I think I can handle
them both. It is time to start making plans for the many events
and parties coming up, races at Keeneland and the Derby, Brunch
and Bibelots at the Headley Whitney Museum, the High Hope
Steeplechase (don’t you just love that Jack Russell dog racing
event?). I have to go check with Sue Ann about my new outfits. I
hear robin’s egg blue is all the rage this year. Sure hope it
looks good on me. See you soon!
Your friend,
 Riley |
