{Ted’s Tip No. 452} A collection can really start at any time and begin with one thing that tickles you. Then add to it. When you are traveling, add a piece. You will remember your adventure and trip each time you look at the object. Friends will get to noticing your collection and gift you a piece. Or many. From green pool balls to sea shells and just about everything in between, your collection is whatever brings you much joy. —from the daily blog post at TedKennedyWatson.com

After close to 36 years, he still makes my heart flutter. Plus, he always knows what makes me happiest. From lilacs to hydrangea and just about every other flower in between! The limelight hydrangea in front of the house absolutely spectacular this year. At #HawthorneGhent

We fly to New York in a few minutes, and just remembered, “I forgot to post!” So it will be hydrangea that I snapped on a previous stay, along with a quick entry today. Looking forward to seeing them at Hawthorne in real time and see if they have started turning their beautiful wine color that they usually do this time of year. I’ll let you know!

Coming to the Watson Kennedy shelves ‘Country Life’ by top drawer photography William Abranowicz along with his son, Zander. The book graciously arrived yesterday, and I could not wait to dig in. We head to Hawthorne tomorrow for a month and have been getting incredibly excited so the arrival was perfectly timed. Perusing the beautiful pages like taking a trip to two regions of New York that hold very special places in our hearts. Country homes tend to be more relaxed—where you feel like you can kick back a bit and chill. Where you can put your feet up and enjoy the view. While still being incredibly refined, and cool beyond words. I love that contrast. The lovely homes and properties featured will give you a taste of the Hudson Valley & the Catskills, page after stylish page. @wabranowicz @zabranowicz @vendomepress
