Saturday night WWB and I headed over the the World Collector's Night at the Philadelphia Antiques Show. Its a night of cocktails and antiques and mingling - what could be better! This year was my second year in a row, and although the antiques were beautiful, the women of Philadelphia's excitement over the ability to wear bright spring patterns was definitely the show stopper ... and the jewels ...
As the whole show is hosted at the Philadelphia Naval Yard, the "after party" is around the corner at one of the Urban Outfitters buildings. It is a great event, in a very cool space and if you are ever in Philadelphia around this time, you should definitely check it out!
That sounds like a great evening out! I have a friend who attends the event every year!

I just landed here because I was googling the correct spelling of Connoisseur.
ReplyDeleteMust be kismet because I'm the chair of the historic commission in my town and started a public wave that saved our historic town hall from a demo. Glad you're into historic preserv. We need more of that.
Got another antique beauty I'm trying to save at the moment. One of my upcoming blog posts will be about the Late, Great Penn Station --
A crime against architectural beauty if there ever was one.
Thanks! G.
