Palm Springs Modernism Week 2014

/

Signing off for a few days as I head to Palm Springs for a ton of inspiration. This Middle Sister has tickets to the Vintage Trailer Show, Prefab Show, Mid Century Designer Show House, Double decker bus tour of Mid century homes and a Jump and Jive dinner party. A huge week of fun!








Flower & Garden Show

/
The Northwest Flower and Garden Show is just around the corner.  This is an event and shopping experience not to be missed. February 23 - 27th.

 I do not know the official theme behind the show this year but it sounds like the gardens will take inspiration from children's books. Last year water was a reoccurring theme.


I usually choose my Dalia's from Dan's Dahlias and my espalier fruit trees and shrubs from Rain Tree Nursery. You will get them bare root which is ideal for transporting.

The Getty Museum Los Angeles

/
We actually slid the Getty Museum into our crazy schedule. We only had 2 hours but what a fun time it was. Irving Penn's "Small Trades" exhibit was on our "to-do" list. It was amazing...











The Cactus Garden


5pm Traffic. And we thought Seattle was bad.

Irving Penn's Small Trades











Irving Penn documented some of the last remaining trades of the time. This was such a wonderful exhibit.
