Gift This Dinnerware that Brings the Garden to the Table For those seeking to add a touch of nature to their dining experience, look no further than Melissa Goldstein's exquisite MG by Hand porcelain ceramics. Drawing inspiration from Scandinavian ceramics, 17th-century botanical illustrations, and Japanese woodblock prints, Goldstein's creations are a true labor of love that bring the beauty of the garden to the table.

This led to the creation of her brand, MG by Hand, where she meticulously handcrafts everyday dinnerware adorned with delicate floral motifs in cobalt stain. Her latest collections, Poppy and Cherry, showcase blooming trees and local flora, fired in a gas kiln to perfection. From vases to serving trays, each piece is a work of art that channels the elegance of Dutch Delftware while celebrating the bounties of Goldstein's garden. Whether you're looking to elevate your table setting or searching for a unique gift, MG by Hand offers a range of pieces starting at $65, available in select shops and online at mgbyhand.com. Read This A New Book Collects the Writings of Dorothy Dean, a Fixture of '60s New York Delve into the captivating life and writings of Dorothy Dean, a prominent figure in bohemian New York during the '60s and '70s. Despite her connections to luminaries such as Andy Warhol, Dean lived a relatively obscure life until recently when her story began to resurface. Hilton Als, in a recounting of Dean's life for The New Yorker, shed light on her accomplishments as the first Black high school valedictorian at White Plains High School, a trailblazer at The New Yorker, and a key member of the vibrant social scene of the era. Now, a new book titled "Who Are You Dorothy Dean?" curated by Anaïs Ngbanzo, offers a glimpse into Dean's unpublished writings, letters, and her sharp film reviews published in the "All-Lavender Cinema Courier." This collection not only commemorates Dean's legacy but also brings her acerbic wit to life through a play titled "Dorothy," debuting at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London. "Who Are You Dorothy Dean?" is a must-read for those intrigued by the cultural tapestry of New York's bohemian past, available for approximately $23 at editions1989.com.
