I was vacillating, but finally said what the heck: So hello, Pittsburgh, I’ll see you in just 10 days for opening festivities of the Carnegie Museum of Art’s Peter Muller-Munk exhibit, where my New Old Stock Griswold Symbol cookware will be immortalized on display. And howdy hudee: The museum is hosting a ‘Mad Men & Martinis’ opening cocktail party on Friday night, Nov. 20, from 7-10 p.m. I’ll be there — and hope you can join me! Heck yes, I’m dressing up. I’m even planning to put on eyelashes. I’m super excited!
- The museum tells me that 400 tickets have already been sold — so if you want to come, click here to get your tickets ASAP.
Tomorrow: A big story on the museum exhibit. Who’s going to come? Leave a comment! We’ll use this thread to communicate. Golly, what if smarty had a party, and no one came to smarty’s party? (P.S. Super thank you to Kate for the Party-Pam-Pots-Pittsburgh poster. You gotta admit, we have some fun here.)

COMMENTS WILL RE-OPEN on MONDAY, DECEMBER 2. For the first time in, like, 13 years, I am taking a real vacation from the blog, to spend un-distracted time with family. As part of this, Commenting on the blog is paused. Meanwhile, please enjoy reading all the many stories in our archives -- and come back Monday, Dec. 2 when I will launch our annual giveaway of a vintage ornament wreath made by Georgia Peachez -- and when comments will reopen so you can enter to win! HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!

Pam, so great to meet you and some of your Retro Renovation Peeps in Pittsburgh! You, and your pots were fabulous. The exhibit highlight for me were those Carpet Sweepers that Mr. Monk designed for Bissell. Thanks for all you and Kate do!
