When Swedish artist Hannah Liden wanted more exposure, she gifted New York City with much larger than life statues of that classic breakfast treat. What a clever and fun idea!
It took artist Tom Otterness several years to get all his "Life Underground" whimsical bronzes installed in the 14th St. subway station. He considers bureaucratic challenges part of the artistic process. What a clever idea to give New Yorkers something to smile about.
This feature article on innovation in the latest issue of the Economist is cleverly illustrated and very relevant to the TPP currently being negotiated.
I bought these orchids in Kiev Ukraine and our hotel maid in St Petersburg Russia kindly put them in water..... when I arrived at Sydney airport carrying them customs officials came straight for me .... and were relieved that they are not real. Artificial flowers are becoming more popular because the quality has greatly improved and stores are merchandising them much more effectively. The store in Kiev was completely full of artificial flowers and looked like a regular florist!
This florist is full of artificial flowers that look real. I first saw high quality artificial flowers at Monet's Garden outside Paris and bought some roses. On a later trip I saw a wonderful shop full of artificial flowers in Kiev and bought some more roses and orchids as well. A friend who lives in Bowral recently told me that she bought even better quality artificial flowers from this florist near her. www.countryaccentfloralboutique.com
This clever idea combines art and a useful clock. It comes from the Morgan Library gift ship. I selected it from their catalog and was going to put it in my cottage but liked it so much it's in my bathroom in New York. Thank you for the useful and decorative gift, Enid Klass.
