SAVE THE DATE

Frances Palmer at Pidgin
June 27th 
As you read this, a special collection of singular marbleized platters and vessels is going into the kiln, made just for this moment — for Pidgin and for you. Each piece carries the quiet evidence of a human hand.

We’d love for you to join us on Saturday, June 27th from 3–6pm to meet ceramicist and florist Frances Palmer, signing her new book Life with Flowers. Have a drink, a bite, meet old friends, and new. And shop.

At Pidgin, in Oak Hill, New York.

EAT

 

June 7th  

Coyote Cafe: Lunch & Spring Fling
Worlds End School of Thought, Agriculture and Craft

Our friends at WESTAC open their farm to the public on the first Sunday of every month. Farm-inspired and sourced lunch is pay-as-you-wish, served 12–4 in their open-air barn overlooking a pond, with a farm tour at 2:00 and kids' art classes in the craft studio  from 2–3:30. June 7th is the Spring Fling — special events forthcoming.

 
 

SEE

 

Through October 25th 
 

Morgan Library & Museum

Drawings from the personal collection of John Ashbery (1927–2017) — most of them gifts from the artists themselves — donated by his husband, David Kermani. Freilicher, Rivers, Hélion, Brainard: the exhibition is a portrait of a friendship between a poet and the visual artists who shaped him. An intimate archive of the world of a great American poet.
 
 

  

READ

   
As I prepare to travel to Ireland with my family, I find myself returning to Claire Keegan's first collection of short stories, Antarctica, published in 1999. A good one to check out from your local library — I love our most charming one in Rensselaerville, just up the hill from Oak Hill.
