While a distant problem, it is not beyond a local solution. We all have the power and the purse to do what we can to recognize the truly leveling course of events that has the already impoverished Haiti down on its knees.

I will be attending the attached event and hope to see many familiar faces and new ones who understand that community is the basis for all great things. When recognizing and supporting the efforts of our own, we do in fact showcase what is truly wonderful about American and what can begin to develop for Haiti. Phoenix rising from the gift of giving in a devastated region forced to start anew.

Sam hit the antique scene with antique expert Ellen Scarborough, wife of legendary NBC news anchor Chuck Scarborough. We tagged along at the Greenwich Historical Society’s Antiquarius opening night. From small antiques to large statement items, the Old Greenwich Civic Center was packed with world renowned antique dealers. The Scarboroughs shared inside expert advice on what’s best to buy as a couple and why fundraising for a good cause is so important.

Imagine my glee when I was invited to check out Moffly Media’s At Home Magazine Design District in Westport. From high-end clothing stores to one stop shop interior decorating resources, the chic town of Westport has it all. I got the tips of the trade when I dropped in on decorator Lynne Scalo, HB Homes and many more fabulous spaces.

Moffly Media’s Light A Fire awards ceremony at the Westport Country Playhouse brought out ten outstanding individuals who go the extra mile in Fairfield County to make a difference. Know for his legendary slam-dunk hand, basketball star Allan Houston now lends a hand to those in need. I chatted with friend and honoree to learn see how helping others became a family affair.

I shopped the scene at Moffly Media’s At Home Magazine Design District to see get a taste of what Westport has to offer. The town is a one stop shop for fashion to home furnishings. There is something for everyone, with Lucy’s catering to of-the-moment pieces that make a wardrobe sing and Henry Lehr’s wide selection simplistic comfortable, neutral staples to create a base for your closet.

To add a finishing touch, Lux Bond & Green’s is ground zero. The pieces there range from celebrity must-haves like bangles in brilliant jewel tones to classic pieces in diamond and pearls.

But that’s not all, for more hot shops and cool finds, check out the link below:

From famed news anchor & friend Chuck Scarborough to the “Original Mad Man George Lois” the support for the Greenwich Historical Society’s opening night of Antiquarius was as successful as it was fun. I was thrilled to raise awareness for the event and co-host the Antiquarius After Party with my Greenwich Young Collector’s co-chair, Jen Danzi. It was “Mad” good time thanks to all our sponsors and friends who came out in their best Don Draper Duds to keep with our Mad Men theme.

The Young Collector’s Antiquarius After Party brought out a full house to Ron Rosa’s Louie’s on River Road.  Ron Rosa graciously donated the space, food and “Don Draper Drinks” to create a Mad Men themed party that brought the 1960s Ad Age back to life.

The Antiquarius After-Party followed opening night at the Old Greenwich Civic Center. Antiquarius and the season full of events is the Greenwich Historical Society’s biggest fundraising drive of the year.  With the help of volunteers, like Annie Boardman, we raised awareness of the wonderful cause.  Keeping to the Mad Men theme, Annie took RSVPs on a vintage typewriter.

A guest who needed no RSVP or introduction, Chuck & Ellen Scarborough, along with my Dad. We gave Chuck the night off from the camera and put Bonnie Levinson in front of the lens. Warren Tricomi Salon stylists had ”Mad” Skills. For men they created slick backs and for the ladies high-hair and bee-hives.


The Original Mad Man, George Lois, donated a signed book. To add to the ambiance, season two of the ad agency activity planned on high definition flat screens.

AMC TV was among our sponsors offering hats, posters, games, snow globes, pens, etc.

I was thrilled with how so many of our guests came out dressed in theme. To see more check out the Greenwich Young Collector’s website at greenwichyc.com or samanthaknapp.com. For more information on the Greenwich Historical Society or to sign up and become a member, visit the wesbiste, hstg.org.
