It seems Knoll now has a full line of midcentury modern children’s furniture, including seating and tables.  So sweet, so mod.  Check out more from Vastu.

This is a bill of Marilyn Monroe’s for champagne and a nice bottle too!  It sold recently at the auction house Bonhams for $397 (which seems somehow both expensive and cheap).  I’m not crazy about memorabilia, but this is so small, and so glamorous, it would be perfect as part of my fantasy gallery wall.  See much more of Marilyn over at The English Muse, who is always finding wonderful things.

Let’s see: I’m getting into a routine with Alex, who is growing like a weed, which is wonderful. Tim went back to work last week, so I took it slow and spent days watching the second and third season of The Office.  Pam and Jim’s love story had me riveted to the couch.  I’m hoping to be back to blogging more regularly, and reading my favorite blogs more regularly too!

It’s raining a sort of peaceful spring rain in NYC today. The baby is sleeping and I’m trolling amazing website Just France Sales where I found this image of a French deer family enjoying an evening snack.

I’ve been doing quite a bit of blog reading (loving the Google Reader) while breast feeding in the wee hours of the morning and came across these lovely kitchens and dining room and thought I’d share the inspiration!

Two lovely bouquets from the hospital.  Both arrangements have amazing combination of peonies and hydrangeas — but the top is my favorite bouquet of all time.  The blue flower is a type of hydrangea I’ve never seen before.

I thought I’d pop in for a quick hello and to share some cutie baby pictures with you.  I can’t tell you how all your sweet comments and well wishing have meant to me.  The first days in the hospital it was so nice to check my blackberry whenever I was up (all hours of the day and night, learning to breastfeed) and have sweet emails waiting for me.  So thank you, sweet readers. We’re home and doing well, getting some sleep.  Oh, and you can see more baby photos here.

This was the view from our hospital room (!!) and one night there was a HUGE fireworks display (especially for Alex, I’d like to think).

We are so excited to welcome Alexander Nova Wright into our family!

He was born at 7:51 am, weighing 8 lbs on the dot and measuring 20 inches long.  Photos to follow later in the week. 

Thanks for all the lovely comments! And, many thanks to Joanna for posting the news for us yesterday!  Here is a cutie shot of Alex:
