I dream’d in a dream, I saw a city invincible to the
attacks of the whole of the rest of the earth;
I dream’d that was the new City of Friends;
Nothing was greater there than the quality of robust
love—it led the rest …
- Walt Whitman

Upstate? Don't miss Innisfree Garden in Millbrook, just remember you'll need to pre-register to get in - admission is $10. This pic from the moss carpet that's woven through the trees. 😍
.
[from their site] Innisfree is a powerful icon of mid-twentieth century design. Over fifty years in the making, it is the work of landscape architect Lester Collins, FASLA (1914–1993), with important contributions by his clients, artist and teacher Walter Beck and gardener and heiress Marion Burt Beck. At its core, Innisfree is about the individual’s experience in nature. Inviting exploration and even contemplation, Collins’ sweeping landscape merges the essence of Modernist and Romantic ideas with traditional Chinese and Japanese garden design principles in a form that evolved through subtle handling of the site and slow manipulation of its ecology. The result is a distinctly American stroll garden—a sublime composition of rock, water, wood, and sky achieved with remarkable economy and grace.

When is the last time you had a Croque Madame? When is the last time you made one? We love this recipe for a grilled version, with smoky flavors from the wood grill, adding an earthen twist to this the egg, cheese and toast anytime favorite. The setup with the grill takes about 20 minutes, but is totally worth it. We've used applewood, but you can use any wood charcoal. This is great for the summer, and is also a treat year-round, all made more delicious with a dash of our fleur de sel sea salt + herb fine salt blend.

Majolica!
.
[Wiki] Earthenware coated with coloured lead glazes applied directly to an unglazed body has from mid-19th century onwards been called majolica. The science involved in the development of multiple temperature compatible coloured lead glazes is complex, but the process itself is simple.

What's not to love about a yummy velvet sofa?
.
From @Toast: Velvet originated in Eastern culture. There's evidence as early as 2000 BCE that ancient Egyptians employed a similar technique to the one used today in velvet manufacture. Cairo was a production hub of velvet for many years. Iraq was also one of the first producers of velvet and characteristic trimmings, (featuring low, untrimmed piles), have also been found dating back to ancient Chinese dynasties including the Qin (circa 221-206 BCE) and the Western Han (206 BCE- 23CE).
.
Once Europeans felt the touch of velvet, it was immediately traded along the Silk Route. Although production flourished in Spain, Italy was the first European country to create a velvet industry for itself and subsequently dominated supply of the material to Europe between the 12th to 18th centuries. If there's a fabric that epitomises the Renaissance, it's velvet - particularly the intricately patterned velvets, woven from silk and threads of precious metal such as gold and silver, worn by royalty and the heads of church and state. Velvet brought wealth and power to the Medici family and posed artistic challenge to those wishing to capture its luminous texture and explore its production Michelangelo designed several types of velvet, and Leonardo da Vinci studied the velvet loom. When velvet production became mechanized during the industrial revolution, the textile so deeply associated with luxury became cheaper and more widely available.

Moroccan Zellige Tile - can't get enough.
.
(from Wiki) A style of mosaic tilework made from individually hand-chiseled tile pieces set into a plaster base. The pieces were typically of different colours and fitted together to form elaborate geometric motifs, such as radiating star patterns. This form of Islamic art is one of the main characteristics of Moroccan architecture and medieval Moorish architecture. Zellige / Zellij became a standard decorative element along lower walls, in fountains and pools, and for the paving of floors. It is found commonly in historic buildings throughout the region, as well as in modern buildings making use of traditional designs such as the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca which adds a new color palette with traditional designs.
