It’s “feel good moments” like this that make me smile and regain faith in our community, especially when the person we are talking about is my husband, Neil Breslau. I was also honored that one of our very own at Design Works International, Jim Simon took it upon himself to write a blog about the Libertad Urban Farm and Neil’s involvement in helping Tanya restore the farm after a thief took off with her produce that was ready to harvest and stole all her tools and destroyed the farm during this terrible experience. We like to say out of bad comes good and this story is a perfect example of just that….enjoy the read and video. We are all proud at Design Works International and hope that you will be as well…

On-line shopping is one area of merchandising that continues to have a positive outlook far into the future.How are you going to shop this Holiday season?

NANCY FIRE, Design Works International, New York City:
“The best advice I have ever been given was ‘to stay true to yourself’ and ‘believe in your talent.’
That’s important advice because when you are in an industry that is ‘hyper creative’ you can really lose your sense of self. If you lose these qualities, you lose your passion, and without passion, I feel that my day would be about just existing, not creating!”

Located on the Northeast corner of Central Park at 110 Street and 5th Ave is the Harlem Meer which was built in 1861 and restored between 1983-93.
The word “Meer” is Dutch for lake which is home to The Charles A Dana Discovery Center that was built in a Victorian style to emulate the original Victorian structures of Central Park.
The waterside plaza that sits next to the discovery center is used from mid-June through September for Sunday afternoon performance festivals….and good to know that if you like to fish you can participate in the catch and release program that is a summertime favorite for many in NYC!
