Lots of Everything




The Santas have arrived


on the bookshelf


and on 8th Avenue outside


the florist with the cat and the red berries.


In the 60's I spy an antiques shop with treasures within


and the window of Bloomingdales.
ps What splendid silver boots!


Uptown there are tasteful decorations with giant pinecones


and a house swathed and swagged


even the buildings are complex and stunning


and the diner jam-packed.

  4. Elizabeth,
    I am tempted to try to recreate your row of books from my own bookshelves. ;-)

  10. P.S.: Elizabeth,
    my earlier comment referred to the BOOKS -
    I would not bet, but it is quite possible that I could find almost all of your books in the picture on my own bookshelves (I have this tick of always having to spy on other people's shelves, even in pictures). ;-)

  11. Elizabeth, I love each and every one of these photos and the words you've added to them.

    Like Merisi, I had to have a long look at that book shelf, just peeking past the Santas, to see which books I have read. As you know, I mostly now let the library store the books that I want to read.

    Isn't New York fun at this time of the year! xo
