deluxa

Over at the lovely Bloesoem blog Irene posted about deluxa in Brooklyn. Sadly, we missed this cool looking spot on our trip last week, but next time! Seems there are beautiful wonders to be explored inside this facinating shop. Ah well, something else to see next time 'round!

While in NYC, it is no surprise to find beauty all around. Public art is part of the beauty which adorns the subway and it's always refreshing to see a city's commitment to supporting the visual arts. I snapped a quicky photo of this ceramic relief piece under glasswhich was one of around a dozen in the hallway.
Well, our n'easter is seemingly over and the shoveling too, so it's back to the studio today. Hooray!

Thanks to Ann Bryant who dropped by a couple of Saturdays ago to peek at our exhibit. Read all about her thoughts at The Hearald. Here in Brooklyn, we are enjoying lovely friends, food, great tips on where to go and today a trip to the Folk Art Museum and MoMA. Yesterday's visit to MAD was simply refreshing and eye popping from the 6th floor of the Lollipop building down to the coat check on 1st. One of my favorite pieces was My Back Pages by Paul Villinski. Maybe it's my obsession for records? Great meal last night at the Good Fork in Red Hook... thanks for the tip Grace! And lunch for us in Brooklyn wouldn't be right without a stop at the Bedouin Tent. Always yummy and falfel to die for. Not great photos as I am sporting the old canon and well, can't be overly bothered on this trip.... so forgive the messes! Sending happy greetings to all!
