Downtown Dons Pink

Posted on October 24, 2017 | 3 comments

On Thursday, Westport will be in the pink.

The Westport Downtown Merchants Association is partnering with Pink Aid, for the town’s 1st-ever Pink Day. The event draws attention to the needs of women with breast cancer — and highlights the merchants who support that organization.

Pink ribbons were provided by Party Harty, and tied along Main Street by students in Staples and Weston High Schools’ Pink Aid Clubs.

Several businesses — including the Cashmere Sale, Kerri Rosenthal, Devon Woodhill, Bungalow, Benefit, WEST, Amis and Bill Taibe’s restaurants — donated items to Pink Aid’s major fundraiser, held earlier this month at Mitchells of Westport.

Other merchants have held, or will hold, sales events to benefit Pink Aid. Still others gave gift cards and small items to Pink Aid’s gift bags. The complete list is below.

If you’re downtown and see pink, now you know why.

In fact, why not take a special trip there? The merchants have done their part. Now we can do ours.

Jane Green Goes Pink

Posted on May 25, 2017 | Comments Off on Jane Green Goes Pink

As a writer, Jane Green is familiar with art imitating life.

Now, life is imitating art.

Her art.

The Westport author is about to bring a scene from her latest novel to life, at Gilbertie’s Herb Garden in Easton.

In The Sunshine Sisters, Lizzy — one of 3 sisters estranged from their difficult, self-absorbed mother — is a chef who regularly hosts pop-up supper clubs on rooftops and farms in the tri-state area. Eventually, she sets up a permanent restaurant at a farm in … Easton.

Green’s publisher, Penguin Random House, is celebrating her “perfect summer novel” by recreating Lizzy’s supper club on the farm.

The date is Saturday, June 3 (6:30 p.m.). There will be farm-to-table food, signature cocktails, signed copies of the book, and goody bags from local sponsors.

A portion of all proceeds goes to Pink Aid, the breast cancer support group.

Green is well known for her 17 best-sellers. But she’s also spent a lifetime creating recipes, cooking for family and friends, and entertaining at her home here in Westport.

When she’s not writing, novels or cookbooks Jane Green entertains.

Readers love her novels — and her inventive dishes, photos of homemade food and recollections of special meals, shared online and in her cookbook Good Taste.

Now it all comes together, in real time and real life.

For a real good cause.
