THRIFTY THURSDAY: Time to entertain
With summer in full swing, more daylight and more vacation time are welcome occurrences. What's better than getting together with friends for a home dinner party while you reminisce about Julys past and watch the kids catch fireflies. If the thought of throwing a classy dinner party is daunting, fear not and check out supplies at the local thrift stores. After a morning excursion with fellow thrifter Swanky Lady Vintage, I pounced on these two swish wine carafes for only $1.50 a piece. These are great to have on hand especially when you plan on serving red and white wine, and not only do they look cool but they are easy to carry and less likely to get knocked over than a wine bottle.If wine isn't your thing and you'd rather go for a small cocktail party, reach for a handy shaker, this one is fantastic due to the fact that all the recipes are printed on the exterior. This piece was found for $3.99 at a thrift store. Search for mismatched swanky highball, collins, and martini glasses to accompany...it sure beats the lame red party cups. For fun tell the guys to dress in suits and the gals to dress in cocktail dresses, pretty soon your party will look like a scene plucked from Mad Men.

NEW MUSIC TUESDAY: Matt Pond PA
Just out this spring, The Dark Leaves by Matt Pond PA.
Matt Pond PA has had a long hiatus since their last album Last Light but that time was wisely spent crafting and honing their sound which lead to their most recent release The Dark Leaves. This album is rich and pop-y with a touch of homey folk, giving it an instantly listenable quality that is easy to fall in love with. Pick up a copy at Co-Op Records. Review by Allison West for Numéro.
*Coming soon Numéro will be posting our staff playlists! And perhaps a fan playlist or two, so get ready to role down your windows and bust out in song, or quietly put on your headphones in the office while you discreetly rock out and suppress the urge to air guitar to "Mony Mony" by Billy Idol, not that I would know anything about that ;)

Whatcha Readin' Wednesday
The Solitude of Prime Numbers + Paolo Giordano
Paolo Giordano's debut novel The Solitude of Prime Numbers weaves together the pain of adolescence, the loneliness of being unable to trust and the yearning to connect with another person into a beautiful tangle of storytelling. Alice and Mattia are the central figures of this narrative and their shared experiences with loss and unimaginable hurt both propel and repel them from each other. A brilliant effort for first time writer Giordano.
Review by Allison West for Numéro.
