The always inspiring ABC Carpet Store

I spent over an hour today with my sister Pilar. I love this store. Took some camera phone shots of items that may inspire me.

Great use for all the various textiles I have grubbed from work.

Chandalier made from shells.

Another Chandelier made from fabric flowers.

I have been hording two really cool lamp shades for years. This is inspiring!

Lace sandwiched between felted wool. Really beautiful and there were multiple colorways.

Not the prettiest thing on earth but a really nice idea for pine furniture with mosaic on the outside.

The Magic Garden

If you grew up in the New York Metropolitan area through the 70s into the 80's you would be familiar with this delightful show.

This show is so specific to NYC that there is an exclusive NYC Native New Yorker internet Club called NYC magic Garden. 

http://www.nycmagicgarden.com/

You must be able to answer around 20 questions that qualify you as a Native New Yorker. I am a member. Easy.

My sister Pilar who lives way across the world in Pakistan found the DVD of the first installment of the series and gifted Fiona w/ it for her 4th Birthday.
