Architectural Digest Home Design Show




A beautiful sunny day on Friday so my thoughts turned to spring.


A friend had tickets to the design show at Pier 94. The flowers 
 were far more interesting than most of the design elements.


So herewith a grand tour of flowers I enjoyed.


Tulips and amyrillis so bold they assault you.


A restrained arrangement at the booth where you could get booze.


Tulips rather lovely and almost on their last legs --or petals....


Lots of New York-y designery types with fabulous eye glasses etc.
and............ lo and behold.......


an Amish couple.......who knew...


Bridal and lush with spring-like pussy willow.

  9. All wonderful and refreshing. What would the world be without flowers? They are a gift to us who survive the dreary winter drabs with eyes aching for anything vibrant.

    The Amish couple have their own designer look in that crowd.

  10. We often see Amish here in Ohio. They always stand out in a crowd, like they arrived from time travel.

  12. Your blog is so beautiful! I love the way you "look at" things in such a peculiar way... My dream is to know NY city, and each time I "see" it through your pictures I fall in love for the city even more! Greetings from Brazil ;-)

  14. These flowers are beautiful! I love the Amish couple wandering in for a look too. I remember a few years ago finding three Amish women playing in the water at the beach. That was a surprise!

  16. Loved the picture of the Amish. Even got my husband and showed him. Brought back memories of walking past the Amish Market near the World Trade Center.
