Chihuly at the NYBG. This was by far my favorite. I used a close-up of it for my holiday card one year...

So many beautiful handmade items by our members and beautiful furniture and that stained glass! I am in awe. I think I have posted this before. My niece painted this last spring in honor of the nearby high school graduates and really for everyone to enjoy and photograph. It was painted on the side of a nearby building scheduled for demolition to make way for new construction and is now gone. sponsored by the building owner and the HS PTA. For reference, her DH, holding the ladder, is around 6'3".

A painting from Key West, FL. I went to see the Hemingway House and this artist was set up and painting outside on the street. I loved his work and bought this piece. It hangs over my bed. I love the colors and the feeling it evokes.

Alexander Hamilton was eligible to become president of the United States despite being born on the Island of Nevis. He was eligible because he was a citizen of the US at the time of the Adoption of the Constitution (which occured on September 17, 1787). Thank you, Google. Yes, this is a bit of a stretch.

I had my first child in December of ‘91. My MIL was finally able (after leaving in late forties). To go back to her country in the summer of ‘92. That’s a whole other political discussion. It was a huge deal. My husband and older SIL went with her.

Apparently one of the older relatives heard that I was nursing my baby. She sent this back with him for me! All of the young mothers wanted to use formula. They were hungry, I guess, to join the “modern world”.

It’s one of the most touching gifts I’ve ever received, from someone I never knew.

Annie's Chihuly sculpture reminded me of this one in Murano, Italy. It was in the town square:

Today is also Ground Hog Day. This is a wood carving that stands in front of the Punxsutawney Library where Phil and Philamena live. They have their own quarters inside the library just off the children's department.

And he did see his shadow this morning - so 6 more weeks of winter.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, Statue of Our Lady Of Fatima.

I got to see this statue when it came to Cincinnati. The statue is taken around the world to various cities for display, in order to spread Mary's message of hope, peace and salvation.

Annie, I looked it up, and that is a Chihuly glass chandelier.

Yes Lars, his work is very distinctive.

If I had a larger foyer, I'd love to get one of his chandys ... they are so stunning.
