Traditional Home Party in NYC

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Last Night I attended the <a href="http://www.traditionalhome.com/"><b><u>Traditional Home</u></b></a> party at the <a href="http://www.nydc.com/www/index.php"><b><u>New York Design center</u></b></a>. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">Mingling here & there, which <i>I'm not very good at by the way</i>....I came across many beautiful furnishings! I photographed several for all of you to see! So much eye-candy, I wanted to take it all home! Too bad I don't have anymore space! They served up several interesting cocktails but I loved the <i>cucumber mojitos</i> (with cucumber pulp) they were so tasty.... & I don't even drink! </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">  </span></div><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">While at the party I met up with Naomi of <a href="http://designmanifest.blogspot.com/"><b><u>Design Manifest</u></b></a>, Ashlina of <a href="http://www.thedecorista.com/"><b><u>The Decorista</u></b></a>, Crystal editor of <a href="http://www.ruemag.com/"><b><u>Rue Magazine</u></b></a> & finally met Michelle Adams editor of <a href="http://www.lonnymag.com/"><b><u>Lonny Magazine</u></b></a>, which I accidentally called <i>Michelle Williams</i> on Twitter! Ugh, I'm so crazy, sorry! Perhaps it was the loud Indian music blasting in the cab (<i>as I left the event</i>) ...my head was SERIOUSLY spinning!!</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
