Cottage Vibes
 |
The company has arrived!
 |
 |
 |
 |
The cottage kitchen is small but functional.
|
 |
Over the carriage house they go.
 |
Under the eaves they sleep.
 |
Making a jug full of these!
|
 |
Here they come for some fun.
 |
Got a dishwasher this year!!
 |
Putting the bachelor brother-in-law in the study.
|
 |
Have the recipe handy.
|
 |
Will they notice that I recovered grandmothers chair?
|
 |
Happy to see them come around the corner.
|
 |
My take on cottage life in and around the peninsula.

The Big Hang
 |
| Saturday I had three different people into the shop wanting me to take their artwork on consignment. |
 |
| This was an unexpected artist I had not seen for fifteen years. He just sauntered in and was surprised that I was the shop owner. I like his work so I accepted five paintings. Where to hang them was another matter as I am out of wall space. |
 |
| Then I had a customer who has sold the farm and is moving back down state. She brought in the left overs of her estate sale. I couldn't say no. I feel that her pieces would fit perfect in someone's farmhouse. |
 |
| French pharmaceutical botanicals hand carried from Paris showed up at my door along with antique chocolate molds. |
 |
| To make room you start with one corner and move props and furniture to uncover wall space. Then up and down the ladder filling in the spaces with smalls. With the shop being so tiny it is hard to work around customers walking in and no where to set anything down. Thank goodness I had Lisa, behind the counter, to wait on the customers while I worked on the hang. It is a tight little shop almost to the point of being crowded in. On well, we have a short season and everything needs to be on deck to sell. Come in and see our eclectic collection of home accessories. |

Brookfield Place
 |
| Tory Burch, if I had had more time I would have been back to buy several pieces that I saw in this store. Loved the colorways. |
 |
| Gucci, they were missing the red man in the manikin line-up! |
 |
| Bottega Veneta's window display photographed better than a live viewing. |
 |
| Looks real. |
 |
| Hermes perfume bottles, beautiful. |
 |
| Live palm trees, not sure if the white gauze portrayed clouds or if it was in place to catch any falling coconuts. |
 |
| The main atrium, in the mall, was all about the light. |
 |
| The Brookfield Place mall on the Hudson River. |
 |
| My favorite window display. They say malls are going out of style, but this shopping mall incorporated a walk through from the financial district down to Battery Park Marina and a wonderful eatery, Beaubourg, where we ate breakfast twice and had cocktails and munchies in the afternoon overlooking the water traffic on the Hudson River. Then took a long walk to see the Statue Of Liberty and take in the sunshine and fresh air. A wonderful oasis in the middle of metropolis. |

Occupying Wall Street
 |
| Just one of the identifiable silhouettes of the city. |
 |
| Battery Park Marina on the Hudson River. |
 |
| Hoboken and Jersey City across the way. |
 |
| We came down to the Beaubourg on the Hudson several times during our stay. |
 |
| Oculus over Fulton Station. They say it represents a dove but I felt more like it represents the Phoenix coming up from the ashes considering the proximity to the 9/11 Memorial. Steve felt the 9/11 museum to be a memorial to non-violence. |
 |
| We slept in the room with a view! |
 |
| Looking down at the Hudson River in the five o'clock dawn. |
 |
| Yes, sometimes I do sleep with my camera! |
 |
| Can't believe I woke up, in time, to see this sunrise. |
 |
| Corner room on the thirty fourth floor. |
 |
| Breakfast view. |
 |
| Rain, in the morning, brought out the architectural details of the buildings. |
 |
| Brooklyn Bridge, a post card view, Tim and Garen's "room with a view". New York City views. Beautiful. |
