1st stop....

Coffee @ News Cafe....and I couldn't resist, of course, grabbing this shot of the coolest lady in the joint. I hope I'm that cool one day. I love your trench coat and blue pashmina. What are you reading? How do you take your coffee?

1st night in Brooklyn...

Thanks for the hospitality Hilton. The friend, not the hotel chain. You, the lighting, the leather loveseat, your art wall and tv antennae, clean sink, late night hummus and blue corn chips, and my two chairs turned sleeping sleigh rocked.

New York...Doors

Thought provoking. I wonder what is behind these doors. I wonder how soft the sheets are in the guest room of this lovely home, complete with their old Mercedes in their garage. With chipping, faded paint, I wonder what the second doors are protecting. Who was the first person to put their finger on a can of spray paint to deface the third doors? How did each person come up with their tag and what does it mean? How often do the people in the fourth doors water their Hydrangeas? Is the electric bill affected by leaving the fifth door's front light on all day? Thank you for the black, white, and red though, and the 8 slightly above the 0. And finally, my favorite. What color came fist in this peeling collage of an entrance way? Did you hate the blue, then try to chip it off then give up? You obviously paid attention to detail in the three colors you painted on the rest of the facade; I bet you even used painters tape. Could you not part with the messy, finger paint wave of blue? I sure couldn't.

So it's been a little empty....

July escaped me. I cannot complain, life has been very good. I am sad that my little blog has been lonely for a while now. But I'm back for the moment.

Chicago Antique Market....turquoise.

Only the cutest couple in Chicago.

Told you. Even her hat matches. Am I bias because it's turquoise?

Chicago Antique Market....letters.

Wish list: Loft to decorate with these.

Great Jewelry Display

These crates were filled with black beans. The black back drop and the organic feel is relaxing. You could definitely spice it up with any flavor bean you wanted though. Split peas would look great. These were rings made of old typewriter keys.

Couch beautiful....

Chicago Antique Market....bright gypsy floral.

The opening weekend of the Chicago Antique Market was Memorial Day weekend. Some of the jewels in the suitcase were over 100 year Tibetan silver and fabulous. Of course nothing makes my heart flutter more than bright gypsy floral right now. Heaven in the embroidered rug far left.
