Great day at this year’s @thetickingtent with a fa Great day at this year’s @thetickingtent with a fabulous selection of new and repeat vendors in a spacious new tent ! A few of my faves - some of which didn’t make it in only because I couldn’t get good shots with the crowds! Wonderful to see so many design friends and congrats to @christinajuarezandco and @aspoonfulofbenjamin on an even bigger and better event at the beautiful @springhillvineyards !
Nantucket’s Daffodil Festival turns 50 this weeken Nantucket’s Daffodil Festival turns 50 this weekend — half a century of decorated antique car parades, legendary tailgate picnics, and armloads of the island’s most cheerful bloom. The Daffodil Flower Show, organized by the @nantucketgardenclub is worth the trip. Today the island is at its most glorious, and this golden table, along with some festive shots from past Daffy days, is our small celebration of a very big milestone. (The flowers may not be daffodils, but the spirit is entirely there.)
