The Last Surviving FERRY From ELLIS ISLAND.....IS NOW A HOME

Registered as an historical vessel with the National Register of Historical Places, The Yankee is a truly special piece of New York history that we are incredibly grateful to still have, and to see in good hands.

If I were REALLY COOL

and had the money....

or knew how to 'find' the money.....

I would want to do this.

{but differently}

I would want to save the last ferry {the YANKEE}

and 

turn it into a home.

But,

I would want to lose the seats on either side of the main salon.

Can we really call it a 'SALON?'

In fact I would do everything differently.....

Don't you wonder if it were your grandparents or great grandparents 

that took this very ferry from Ellis Island.

'THE YANKEE'.

You could find out if you really wanted to.

Well ...if they did come over on this ferry...

IT'S SAVED & RESTORED.

Thanks to:

, Victoria and Richard

They raise chickens....

Maybe I could have mini horses on board?

Living on a boat ...for sure I would need a cat.

So why not a MINI ???

Martini Tables.....

A room is not complete 

without the indispensable 

MARTINI TABLE.

This one is nice, 

you can tuck it under a sofa and bring your drink or computer closer to you.

Martini Tables-

They come in a million different styles.

If you go for 'industrial'

this one is a STEAL! 

I love these martini tables...

they are so strange.

This martini table would be an elegant addition to most rooms that we see

Most of the martini table sources are listed at the bottom of each image.

Do You Martini ?

Do you have a martini table ?

What To Do When Surrounded By Negative People

# 1 Where is it coming from ?

#2 Just smile and remain completely detached.

# 3 Say; "Now tell me something positive"

# 4 Imagine a bright light surrounding you.

# 5 Is this a sign ?

{run like hell!}

# 6 Be enthusiastic and focus on your own energy.

# 7 In summary....

there will always be emotional vampires in your life.

Hopefully just coming in

....and them getting the out.

Sundays are tough.

Every vampire is home.

So Much To Do

I really am overwhelmed with things to do.

Packing. 

I hate packing - 

{that's why I live in one place for a long time - NYC 10 years-same apt

 Boca Raton 28yrs-same house}

Papers for the bank. YUCK!!!!

Calls. YUCK!!!!!

Organizing... so that I can pack and decide what to leave behind.

I feel as though I am being buried ....

I can hardly breath.

But

I WILL BREATH.

and.....

 I will get through this.

I just hate being in the HALLWAY.

I need to SEE the DOOR that will open.

Just see it!!!!
