This is our first entry – blog number one about our obsessions, passions and more! We’ll be writing about art, architecture and design. And our favs – the three F’s – food, film and fashion.

We Are Happy To Serve You Ceramic Mug
This ubiquitous cup was all over New York City for decades! It was originally designed by Leslie Buck of the Sherri Cup Company in 1963, to appeal to Greek-owned coffee shops in the city. Sales of the cup reached 500 million in 1994 at its peak. After Buck's death in 2010, a New York Times writer described the motto on the cup as having "welcome intimations of tenderness, succor, and humility."
