Nota Bene From Dindy

August 6, 2013 by

Writing is my passion along with reading.  What better way to keep you informed?  With a name like DindyCo our blog deserves a special title as well.  Latin is the root of the three wonderfully expressive languages used in my business – English, Spanish and French.  Therefore a Latin name is the obvious choice!  According to Webster’s, Nota Bene means to note well, a practice I strive to achieve on a daily basis.  Here I will share client news, book reviews, articles and interesting tidbits - visit often or sign up to receive pings when there's something new to read.  

Call or write just to say hi or share your thoughts ... Now for the news…

That’s what one does with Bernice because there’s no doubt that the person she wants one to meet is going to be interesting. That’s an understatement when it comes to Bibi Baloyra. We spent some time at her office talking about upcoming exhibitions and events and then she took me for lunch at L’epicerie at Wynwood where we had exquisite quiche and a side of roasted tomatoes. I didn’t go home empty handed, instead I stocked my larder with baguettes, croissants, quiche and more along with a few darling tote bags for my darling nieces. Eat there if you haven’t but it could have been the superb company of … [Read more...]
