Opening

I've always wanted to sat that I would "go to the opening of a handbag if it involved champagne" and on this particular occasion it did and I did!
In the morning Michele emailed information about Nicola Cerini's new store opening with the hours etc. I noticed that that evening was the official opening with champagne involved. So what could I do but email Michele back and suggest we attend.

We decided that we'd head over there arriving around 6ish and then if it was a fizzer we'd just go further down the road or head toward home and have dinner somewhere.

As the picture indicates it was far from a fizzer but did have fizzy stuff- champagne nice nibbles and lovely things to browse through.

Needless to say I bought a bag the Mom's Tote- no I am not breaking any world record news here it is just the bag is a really good size to use for work - it meets many requirements- large but not too large; waterproof for days in the snow and rain in NYC; different!; has handles and a shoulder strap and the added bonus of a change mat! Michele suggested I could place that on unsavoury seats in the subway.

So we had a lovely time chatting to Nicola whose bags we have and have admired for a long time and after our champagne and nibbles headed back to the car and off to find a place for tea along the route home.

We ended up at Citrus Mint a lovely little Thai restaurant neither of us had been to before. It was a delightful meal and lots of chat.

So now I can truly say I hae been to the opening of a handbag!
