Welcome to My Blog

Welcome to my blog! My hope is to pass along ideas you will enjoy using in your homes and in your lives. No, I am not Oprah, giving you life advice or Nate Berkus redoing your pantry. My point of view is more practical if not occasionally foo-foo. Decorating should be fun and you should change your decor often. My ideas and vintage finds will help you do just that. Oh, and you may get some fun personal and family stories. We are a small family but we do a lot!



Since I started my blog a couple of years ago, I find I am writing more about "ideas" for your life. Or at least, things that happen in my life! Hopefully I put a smile on your face and help you set your dinner table.

Bergdorfs

After a stop at The Plaza, my husband and our daughter walked next door to see the Christmas windows at Bergdorf Goodman. Usually referred to as just, Bergdorf's, this landmark luxury store has been in it's present location since 1928. The store itself is a  piece of art but the displays in the windows at Christmas time are stunning. This years theme is "Wish You Were Here."
The doorway is amazing. The white tree seem to sprout from the light above the magnificent doors.
You may think at first glance that you are having a flashback from something you did in the 60's but the detail of these windows is amazing. There is so much to take in I had to divide each scene in to sections and ponder what my eyes were transmitting to my brain. There are so many elements of each "chapter" you need pictures to further enjoy each window after you return home.

Could these two be an under sea Tweedledee and Tweedledum? Who knows? They have no breathing apparatus but do they need such?
The Cheshire Cat?
The grand "frame" around this window made me look around to see if I had missed something. The beauty of this window is breathtaking.
