Antiquarius After-Party @ Ron Rosa's Louie's

Hail to the Betty & Don Drapers of Greenwich that motivated on a cold December night to join the Young Collectors at Ron Rosa's Louies to raise awareness for the Greenwich Historical Society's Antiquarius Night.

Before it was all over, ladies and gentlemen boozed like the boys of Sterling Cooper and looked like their stunning secretaries with amazing Warren Tricomi Salon Makeovers. Many thanks to all those who made the night happen. View the video below:

Sam on the Scene

Sam on the Scene: Shopping with NBC’s Chuck & Ellen Scarborough Sam’s on the Scene at Greenwich Historical Society’s Antiquarius opening night. From small antiques to large statement items, the Old Greenwich Civic Center was packed with world renowned antiques dealers. I shopped the show with NBC news anchor Chuck and his wife Ellen Scarborough who shared inside expert advice on what’s best to buy and why fundraising for a good cause is so important. 

Westport Design District

When I am on the Scene, I love to shop! Imagine my glee when I was invited to check out Moffly Media’s AtHome 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.  It was a "Home Coming" delight for an interior design diva like myself.

Samantha Knapp

Home is where the heart is and for the young designer that means returning to Tiger Lily’s after several years traveling the country as a broadcast news reporter. It was her mother first who dared to dream creating the multifaceted design studio in Greenwich, CT. Led by example, Knapp set out, post graduation from Indiana University, to accomplish a path that would prove to be a memorable journey.

As Knapp tells it, to work in news you must be confident and have a passion to succeed, even when faced with unparalleled challenges. Television, as a visual outlet, demands creativity on a deadline. As a fast paced filter between the community and consumers, Knapp was expected to deliver breaking stories in a timely manner. At the forefront of her career Knapp was given story opportunities that allowed her to deliver lifestyle pitches to her audiences. Stories included touring historic mansions and celebrity homes such as Chris Kirkpatrick of N’Sync.
