I know, I know, I can’t even believe it myself — Halloween day isn’t even half over, my little Bear not even in his costume yet, and here I am, actually participating in the waaaaay-too-early-to-be-promotiong-holiday-stuff trend …! But look, as long as I’m putting up a reminder about the 2008 Holiday Boutique coming up [...]
Thanks to Tiffany for her review of the new Noroton Heights Nail Salon Dolce Nail & Spa!

Given the recent media attention our little town has gotten regarding this whole Wall Street crisis (notice how when you tell people where you live, they now nod with a concerned and knowing “oh?”), I was not at all surprised — but quite delighted — to have been contacted by Susan Burton, a writer [...]
So even though I spent most of my life here, I only just found out how people get Happy Birthday messages on the Marquis of the Darien Playhouse: by having a party there!
Here’s the private party scoop:

Go BLUE WAVE! It’s going to be a weekend of good old fashioned school spirit, TP-d trees, and general high school debauchery — ahhh the good old days. I always dreamed of being a Blue Wave Dancer, but went away to a high school that didn’t allow any kind of cheerleading….. Or food or [...]
Hi again, it’s Jan!
Last Saturday I went snooping at ROUNDABOUT, the resale store next to the Darien Playhouse. They currently have a great selection of designer handbags. Mostly in the $300-$450 range. Some of them, like this Tod’s bag, are very gently used. Some others, like the very colorful Etro bag, are brand new [...]
One of my favorite things about living in a small community is walking into my local grocery store and seeing ghosts and pumpkins painted on the glass windows by children and teens in town.
If you’ve been wondering why so many Darien store windows have hand-painted Halloween displays, wonder no more: it’s all part of [...]
Hi again, it’s Jan!
Robby Lagravinese, the young man who owns this high-end jewelry store in Downtown Darien, couldn’t be nicer or more helpful. He has done some repairs and appraisals for me and cleaned my rings so that they truly glisten.
His selection of jewelery is gorgeous, and he has a large following of loyal [...]
Sometime tomorrow between stuffing yourself with pancakes and sausage fresh off the griddle at the Pancake Powow, dropping by Robeks to get a healthy juice smoothie to try to offset the carb coma and cheer on the middle and high school students who are painting downtown store windows as part of the Halloween Window [...]

Sunny Nails may have moved across town, but mani-pedi and massage lovers in and around the Heights will be delighted to know that there is a nice, new, large, shiny, super friendly and skilled with all the trimmings ‘nail place’ that just opened and is called DOLCE Nail & Spa. It’s on Heights Road, right [...]
I had lots of fun with my little guy yesterday at Cherry Lawn Park; there were a ton of families out, picnicking and playing tennis and soccer and enjoying the beautiful weather … it is truly SUCH a great park. However, and it might just be the time of year and positioning of the [...]
