The Pink Cake Box. 
My sister wanted me to get a picture of this place for her.  She was thinking about using them for Rit's birthday cake.

Bunnies & Eggs Clip Art

Graphics Fairy has the best clip art.  Easter is just around the corner so I though I'd post some of the great clip art I found on their website.  Their new search feature is a real time-saver.

William Patterson University Legacy Awards Dinner
On April 8th, Bill and I attended as guest of Van Duyne & Behrens & Co.  They were receipients of a 2011 Legacy award from the University for outstanding achievement in community service.  Aaron Van Duyne is a graduate of the University and also received his masters degree from WPU in Music Business Management.
In attendance were Miles Austin from the Dallas Cowboys and Eddie Brigati from The Rascals Band, both clients of Van Duyne Beherens & Co.  Eddie Brigati is the person who Aaron credits with getting him started with accounting and business management for musicians.

The centerpieces were in birchbark pots.  Very springy!

The East Village, NYC
We went out to dinner with our friends in NYC last night.  We walked around the East and West Villages.
It was late night and we were headed home.  The light was on in this really cool hair salon and I had to take a snap of it!



Their website is super cool!

Hoboken!
Bill and I walked around Hoboken this weekend and I took some snaps of places that are still around from when I lived there. The city remains really cute and is just chocked full of young people. Some of you readers may remember these places.  We also walked by Carlos Bake Shop.  You might recognize this place from "The Cake Boss" on TLC.

Scotland Yard.  Still there!


They were giving numbers out at the door....

...and the line to get into the bakery stretched down Washington St. onto the next block.
People in the front of the line said they waited in line for two hours!


This is the old Blockbuster store on Washington St.  Gone is the white side door with the porthole window.


Benny Tudinos pizza shop.  Home of the largest slice!


Hoboken Bagels! Yum! Located right across the street from...


My old apartment at 627 Washington Street.  Still looks exactly the same!


The church on the corner by our apartment.

For my birthday, Bill and I went to Asheville, North Carolina to see the Biltmore Mansion.
It was worth the trip.  Of the 255 rooms in the home, we saw 50 of them.
The spring flowers and trees were in bloom and the property was beautiful set against the
Blue Ridge mountains.

The Biltmore Mansion.

 The Greenhouse.
 
 Beautiful spring flowers.




The pools in the gardens.


A trip to Asheville would not be complete without a trip to downtown. 
The bicycling nun really made us laugh!

The Metropolitan Museum of Art. 
Bill and I went in early March and it was amazing as usual.  We saw the all my favorite things.


The American Wing


A mirror in the Federal style.


A Tiffany mosaic fountain made of glass tiles.


Bill and Olive's armor.


Medievel Times in the Met.


Bill liked the mustache on this guy.


We had to walk through some modern art to get to the Katrin Sigurdardottir exhibit.

Katrin Sigurdardottir.
To view this exhibit, you looked through the windows to the inside of the room. 
Pretty neat.  I wish thre were more pieces.  There were only two!
