Weekend Plans + Fun News
January 29, 2010
Can you believe it’s already Friday? John and I will be having an easy going, movie watching, spaghetti cooking weekend. I’m especially looking forward to reading a good book, visiting the flea market and cuddling with my baby Alfred (the pug).
We have a fantastic Plucky Pioneer interview lined up for Monday. I won’t reveal who, but let’s just say she’s an artist who has done work for a certain someone named Spade…
Next week is also going to be a big week because I’m finally unveiling that hush hush project I mentioned in my New Year’s post! I’ll also be hosting my first giveaway—something I’m very excited about! Stay tuned!
Alright, you know the routine—what are your weekend plans? Everyone must have at least one thing they’re looking forward to…won’t you share it with your fellow neo-trads?
XX your fan Kate
P.S. Thanks for all the sweet comments this week. You’re the best.

I will be working, as is my weekend usual. However, thanks to your recent “Inspiration Board” entry, I will be attempting to complete me own. My most recent weekend tradition has been renting classic films staring the likes of Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, Clark Gable, Jimmy Stuart, Audrey Hepburn, etc. This weekend: Arsenic and Old Lace, The Shop Around the Corner, and Holiday. Your weekend sounds lovely! Like Amanda, I too thought Plucky Pioneers was the big news. Can’t wait till Monday!

Let’s see…lunch with a friend, going to see A Single Man, hopefully some reading and knitting too.

Amanda — Ohhh a dinner party sounds like great fun! And the general laziness/cuddling/movies of course. Have fun with your little ones! XO
Lauren — Oh I want to rent old classics now too! I could use a little Hepburn in my life (Katharine or Audrey, you just can’t go wrong…). I’m also going to EMAIL YOU!!! Hope you’ve had a good week darling girl! XOXO
Sparkles and Sundresses — Welcome and thanks for stopping by! LOVE your stuff and that you’re donating to Haiti!
Beth — Family time is the best. I wish mine weren’t all out in California…sigh. Enjoy yourselves and stay warm!
Cashmere Librarian — I’ve been dying to see A Single Man, you must let me know what you think. Ohh and reading and knitting, that sounds like the perfect weekend to me. Thanks for stopping in! XX

Hmmm…if it were going to be warmer, I’d take my dog for a ramble down by the river, but since the forecast looks bleak, I’ll probably curl up with a book by the fire, maybe try to recreate a friend’s hot cocoa/Earl Grey tea combination. Ah, and the dog will get a walk in the cold regardless. She always does.

My weekend plans include going out to our beach house in Montauk to check out a demolished bathroom. I have have to get inspired for the remodel. Pics will be on Decor Arts Now. It will be freezing in MTK, so frankly I would rather be snuggling up in from of my fireplace in Pelham. Lynn
-
Just a little redecorating, some movies, and a little reading, of course. It is so cold here in NY, and we’re hosting my grandma’s 100th in 2 weeks, so it is good time to be nest-y. Have a great weekend!
-
Kelly Anne — I feel your pain. I just took my Alfie out in the brittle cold for his walk…brutal! They’re lucky we love them! Enjoy your book! XX
Lynn — Regardless of the chill a beach house sounds nice! Can’t wait to check out the photos on your blog for the bath remodel. This sounds like fun!
Stephanie — I still can’t get over the 100th birthday! It will be fantastic party I’m sure. And I love the phrase “nest-y” I’m going to start using that! XOXO

this weekend i will still be trying to hide the leprosy on my face and if it weren’t going to rain i would be painting a cabinet i have in chalkboard paint.
other that that- go to my blog and help me identify a wallpaper.

We are planning a low key family weekend as well. After going hard for several weekends in a row, I am looking forward to some sweet family time with my husband and kids. With snow on the way I am looking forward to some movies, crackling fires, hot chocolate and good wine! Can’t wait to see what next week has in store! Love, love, love the blog!
-
Your weekend sounds perfect to me! I will be stuck studying Spanish and other miscellaneous homework. Yuck. Hope you have a great weekend! Can’t wait to see what you have planned for next week!
-
Can’t wait to find out about this hush-hush project! And a Give Away – oh la la!
As for my weekend… leaving for my mini beach getaway with the dog and boyfriend when he gets of a conference call. Lobster, wine, David Bowie, Rolling Stones, Velvet Underground, Nina Simone, fires, whatever is on Pay Per View, and hopefully some outdoor time if it’s not too cold!
Enjoy!

It’s freezing here in DC so I’m thrilled to have a house with a working fireplace! If only Alfie could come visit Elsie….have a good weekend Miss Kate!

I’m going to try to catch the Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus tonight and then a Robbie Burns dinner party tomorrow. Have a great weekend!
-
Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your blog; I recently found it and have been avidly following since- keep up the great work and I’m excited to see what you’ve got in store!
-
Kate,
I’ve been crazy busy this week and not in touch with my blog friends! I’ve missed you all. We don’t have really big plans this weekend. I’m working some, it’s snowing here. I guess Lucy won’t be riding on Sunday! Too cold. I’m off to Atlanta next week for work so I’ll try in be in touch. Have a great weekend.
-
Mademoiselle Deva — Hope you have a great weekend as well! Eager to learn more about YOUR big plans for 2010!! Thanks for stopping in. XOXO
Kate McG — Can’t wait to meet Elsie. Come visit us!
Ann — I’ve been wanting to see Dr. Parnassus, hope it’s as incredible as they say! I had to google Robbie Burns I’m afraid (Scottish poet, yes?)—love learning about new traditions! Hope the dinner is great fun. XX
Meg — Well aren’t you full of kind things to say! I’m touched! So glad you’re reading. Looking forward to getting to know your blog as well! XO
Gwen — You’ve certainly been missed, but I know what it’s like to be busy, busy! Your daughter’s name is Lucy?! I LOVE it! What a sweet name. I have a cousin named Lucy that’s studying at Harvard right now—a brilliant, creative young woman with a fantastic name to boot! I’ve always thought it would be fun to name a child after her someday… Anywho, stay warm and safe travels to Georgia! Can’t wait to hear about Atlanta! XOXOXO

Hey Kate – A Robbie Burns dinner is yes, in honor of the scottish poet, but it’s great fun – they do these kinds of dinners all over the world (mostly in europe) on Robbie Burns’ birthday every year. They’re full of speeches, poetry, and dancing, and haggis, bagpipes. it’s a real hilarious ceremony of sorts. http://www.rabbie-burns.com/the_supper/index.cfm.html

La says:
There seem to be several Laurens (hooray for having one of THE most popular baby names of the 80s) so I’m going to start distinguishing myself with my nickname, La – very creative I know.
Weekend plans – finally cashing in a birthday present from a friend and going to the Museum of Arts & Design. Very excited about the exhibition Slash: Paper Under the Knife (made possible by Kate’s Paperie might I ad!) which features different paper art forms.
Spending the rest of the weekend cuddled up inside because it’s FREEZING!
-
I’m looking forward to sleeping until I wake up on my own… without an alarm clock! Such a luxury.
And I’m looking forward to working on getting our garage cleaned up and organized (we have a bunch of junk to put up in the attic).I’m looking forward to seeing what you have coming up!!! Can’t wait until next week.
Have a great weekend! And thanks for the sweet comments on my blog. :-)

Hi, thanks for the well wishes! My back’s slowly getting better. I’ll definitely walk over here for that interesting interview on Monday:)
Have a fun weekend! -
Sounds like you had a fun and relaxing weekend. Can’t wait to hear about your project and thanks for visiting my blog last week!
Hopefully this weekend is to be low-key and relaxing — dinner with a big group of friends Saturday and general laziness/cuddling/movies the rest of the time! I can’t wait to hear about your new project (silly me, I thought Plucky Pioneers was the big news from New Year’s…and now there’s even more!! :) ) I love your awesomeness! Have a wonderful weekend! xo
