That’s when I found these gorgeous PAPER cakes Jan of Poppy Talk drove by and had to stop to shoot. Thanks Mom for always inspiring me and leading me to beautiful things! You too Jan!

it’s unbelievable

i guess this is my second favorite thing about new york…the wholesale district for flowers and plants. it’s heaven on earth and makes new york a soft and pretty city! flowers are an obsession for me especially here, the variety is amazing and when you see them all together it’s intoxicating…

the peonies are in bloom

pink

oh the scent!

white

oh the perfection!

one of my favorite things about new york: you can get peonies in white pink, fuschia and black! They last for days and the room smells so sweet. Plus you can get them at any corner deli. Thank you God!

True Confessions

bedroom

Oh wow it seems like a long time since i’ve been able to get here. I have so much on my plate i am going nuts! And now i have an opportunity to showcase my home in glamour mag…but i’ve been renting it and it’s not ready…the shoot would be in a month or so so i’ll have to kick it into hyper drive if i want to make it happen. this is as it is now, it needs so much! i turned it into a little hotel, now i have to turn it back into to my little palace…eeekk!!

Eight o’clock and all’s well

Bond St

i was funky all day without my camera…(thanks for your good wishes for me to find it!)

Thanks to my dad i did have a backup. I forgot i’d buried a vivitar that burned out in paree. my dad had it refurbished (Thanks Dad for all you do! You too Mom!). Well, i went to the roof and played with it, now my guy’s home vying for attention…more later!

ok he’s in the shower…well losing my camera has been an eye opening experience, one that has really made me remember to appreciate everything i have…

Things have been a little trying lately but both suprising and perfectly natural was finding another blogjewel from the aqua and pink post.

i can’t wait to dive into…plus she’s looking for a camera! i still have to get a one that’s at least 5 megpix and i’d like 5x or more zoom….do you love your camera or are you lusting for one?
