Beautiful set up by Krie.  Love the table cloth which is really a Morroccan bedspread that she used as a buffet table cloth instead and it’s so elegant and pretty!

by Noey and Krie

By | Arts and Culture, Homes and Interiors | One Comment

Five years ago I featured photos from the place of M. Noey and Krie.  You will see quite a number of changes from that time 

Previous entry:  Mother’s Day May 13, 2007 

Like Dr. Cuanang, my brother saw the talent of the Saling Pusa artists and also invested on them early on.  There are really some people who have the “eye”

Love their home which they designed together with Leo Espinosa 

Wow! I like this beautiful painting by Tony Leaño

Vintage Rustan’s

By | Arts and Culture, What's New at Rustan's | 2 Comments

This is my most favorite work of art!  The old Rustan’s makati building.  The building was designed by Architect Sala and constructed by AMOreta.  This was built in the 70’s and my Dad built this together with my grandmother.  He always tells me that this store was born when I was born in 1970.  That is how he remembers the age of this building 🙂

I wish they didn’t have to remove the design 

Here are different photos taken from different pages in facebook sent to me by friends

And here is a small drawing by artist PEPPER ROXAS

It is entitled “forgotten buildings.”  I don’t think this building is really forgotten and will ever be forgotten

Art in the Park 2012

By | Arts and Culture | One Comment

This year, we attended Art in the Park in a different way.  There was an auction that afternoon and James told me about it so we went.  It was at Salcedo Auctions which is in the vicinity of the park

img_3082.JPGimg_3083.jpg

We stayed all throughout from 4pm to around 6 pm

James insisted on bidding for this Lot 8 Baccarat paperweight for me, but it didn’t reach the reserve price

 We listened to Missy Sanares-Reyes talk about Painting Conservation

img_3096.JPGimg_3092.jpgimg_3093.jpg

And though she lectured about restoring paintings, I would not dare touch my painting and would just put it in her expert care!  Do call Missy if you need to restore your paintings through Salcedo Auctions

There will be an upcoming auction for Philippine Art, we are looking forward to this!

We got to Art in the Park at around 615pm already and it was jam packed! It’s a good sign!  Congratulations once again!!!

Art by Kim Oliveros

By | Arts and Culture | One Comment

Visited Tita Bettina in her house a few months ago and saw these beautiful paintings of Japanese girls!  I love it how she so randomly saw them at a show, loved them and bought 4 paintings all in one go!  That’s how it should really be!  Acquire the art pieces that you are attracted to
