January 27, 2009: Happy Chinese New Year!
Yesterday, friends and I celebrated the Chinese New Year and a friend's birthday in New York's Chinatown district. I can't believe that after all the years I have lived near the city, I have never once been to the celebrations on Mott Street before. It's an experience not to be missed! Th...
Quite a beautiful tapestry you've got there, Gillian.
My world is pretty darn colorful at the moment. I'm very much looking forward to tomorrow and our new president.

The girl in the red hat
A 1920s' child mannequin at Marché Paul Bert at St. Ouen, Paris. The mannequin is in the style of Louise Brooks and the flapper girls. Excuse her current state of undress, other than the red velvet hat and painted-on black Mary Janes. She's coming to live here, where she will be dressed in vint...
I love that whenever I come here I have no idea what I will find.
She is beautiful. I hope you will photograph her again when you have delivered her to her new location.
She looks like she has something naughty up her sleeve......that is, if she had a sleeve.
xxoo Karen

I've voted each and every day for the incredible cupid of Morocco.
With love (what else?),

Marrakech: and a tale of requited love?
It was early, very early b ut I was up. I checked my email. That’s when I saw it. The subject line read: Maryam, Please help. I was wary. But I clicked it open anyway. Just in case. It went like this: Dear Maryam, I am sorry to bother you but I thought you might be just the right perso...
A joyous and merry one to you as well, Maryam. I very much look forward to seeing the next year in Morocco through your lovely eyes.

Marrakech: and tale of a Moroccan style Christmas
And so it was Christmas. Their very first at Peacock Pavilions. And while this was a milestone, her happiness was tempered by all that surrounded her. By the unpacked boxes, the bare cement floors, and the unlandscaped garden. By the chill of life in winter without heating. By all that re...
Cleaning on a to do list?????? Hardly.
Loving your list. I've got a few of those on mine as well.
So what are the new ideas?????
Happy future to you and your family, Gillian!!

Resolutionless and damn proud.
p.s. I'd love it if you clicked here. (You'd be rocking out to my latest musical recommendation-insert sheepish grin here.) Brendan Canning of Broken Social Scene goes wildly solo. I'm lovin it. :)
Sigh....yes, I WAS there, but it never looked this good!!!
These photos are just magical, Susanna. Wish I could see them in person.

December 10, 2008: New York Holiday Windows, Bloomingdales
So let's take a walk together, just a few blocks west off the well-heeled path of 5th Avenue, onto Lexington. There we'll find the swingin' holiday windows of Bloomingdales. While Macy's and Sak's 5th Avenue are trippin' back into the psychedelic world of the 1960's this holiday season (in a wie...
I am definitely going to miss seeing those beautiful windows this year. The reflections are magical, Gillian. Wish I could have come to play, too. :-(

New York- I just love you!
Check out these fine displays, that make up the magic that is Midtown Manhattan at Christmas. Beautiful window on Fifth Avenue. Tara would remember the store. Saks? A rare white peacock. On display at either Cartier or Tiffany's...I can't remember! There was too much to see, but in a good...
YES....I LOVE NEW YORK,TOO!!!
Can't wait to see more.

i ♥ NY!!!
Well, what can one say, really. "This is New York!" -heard countless times in my three day/two night tour. I ♥ NY! Now this slogan makes more sense to me than ever. Than evah!! Two Jewish gals. Discussing. "I'm doin a mitzvah! Doin a good," she exclaims heartily, post-shoppy shop with her ...
Nothing like cozying up with your kids and watching a holiday movie.
Happy road trip, Gillian!!!!!!

~these little town blues, are melting away...
Update; After much thought, I've decided that these shop windows lack soul, look too contrived. Now the shop is one of my favourites, but in all honesty I find that magic I crave is lacking from my favourite season right now. Yeah, bah humbug. Scroogers!!! I'll snap out of it. But the best ...

Your Somerset spread looks great, Maryam. No surprise.

Marrakech: and stopping to thank the roses....
Oh, there were days when her Moroccan basket did not seem so full. Days when she peered into the basket and only a few blooms peered back at her. But there was no easy shortcut. Each flower had to be picked one by one; it was the only way. It was best to approach the task with curio...
