Something Fabulous

Wow what a light, I love the contrast of minimal bedding and ornate chandelier.

Designjunction Lights

A selection of the stunning lights on exhibit at Designjunction.

This light, unfortunately I did not get her name, but it is made of old polystyrene boxes, stacked up, given a coat, I think of clear varnish, held up by wire and illuminated with LED. When I went to look at it and see what material it was made of, I tapped it, it felt soft, I touched it harder with my nails then someone came over and said don't touch it and explained what it is made of. It is beautiful, it had an atmospheric type of light, soft, shadowy. It had the extra attraction being made of material that is usually discarded but turned into sculpture. It almost looked like the paper lights by Frank Gehry.

Another piece of sculpture, a ribbon of veneer undulating and folding on itself, suspended by wire and illuminated with LED. All were at Designjunction.

Some things I like

New York

Lower Manhattan from the Brooklyn Promenade

It has been over 10 days, gosh where do the days go. When I started off to New York a couple of weeks ago my laptop died, I learned it was part of the recall of the MacBook by Apple, a faulty chip had to be replaced. Now my Mac is as good as new and I am back to my blog, which I have missed.

I was in New York where my daughter Kate is and had some lovely moments as well as seeing a good friend and one of my favorite views of the city from the Brooklyn Promenade. Ahh New York....

Later I visited my sister and Mom in Vermont for several days of family, food, wine and great conversations around the table.

So much fun, never enough time.
