25. Go for a nostalgic ride on the 138-year-old Central Park Carousel, made of 58 hand-carved, hand-painted, nearly life-size bucking broncos and two decorative chariots. It perfectly accommodates children of all ages, including the ones who never grew up.
24. Catch a classic flick, like “The Goodbye Girl” and “Bonnie and Clyde,” at Bryant Park’s summer film festival every Monday, now through August. I always look to old movies, like these classic eight films, for inspiration in terms of style, fashion, décor, and, of course, jewelry.
23. Throw a party and entertain with your vintage dishware. This is your chance to showcase the amazing pieces you’ve inherited or collected over time. When I have people over, I love to take out my old teapots, glassware, and plates.
22. Follow these five simple rules for taking memorable photos of your family while on vacation or just relaxing at home.
21. Send someone you love a postcard with a handwritten note. It’s so rare for people to put a pen to paper and snail mail a letter these days that when they do, it’s really a sweet and sentimental gesture. The postcard itself becomes a great keepsake that allows you to fondly reminisce the past.
Check back tomorrow for #20 to #16!
