The Gift of Lilacs
May 19, 2023
Flower Friday the gift of lilacs the other morning after we arrived by my handsome husband while I had my coffee. We met the lilacs at the finish line as they are almost finished for the season. So we are savoring every moment with them. These living in a big vintage zinc French bucket out on the back porch. I typically pull off the majority of the leaves but these were all so perfect just as they were, I plunked the whole thing in as the grouping, leaves and all, creating a week of flower happiness.
We head out in just a few to Quebec City to celebrate Mister Sive’s birthday for a few days. Neither of us have ever been and we have heard so many lovely things about it. Hitting the flea markets on Sunday morning. Can’t wait! If you have any tips or major likes about the city we should see/experience, let me know. Everyone have a fab weekend! X

New Works by Mindy Carpenter at WK
May 17, 2023
Just In, a fresh round of artwork by the incredibly talented & prolific Mindy Carpenter. These are part of our ongoing series of original works by a variety of artists we show at Watson Kennedy—where all are under $200 and are 6 by 8 in size. Each puts their own unique spin on how they are presented. In Mindy’s case, she paints the sides of the canvases so they are immediately able to be hung and frames are not necessary if you want to go without one. I love adding one or many to a bookcase and propping them up or laying them flat on a coffee table amongst other interesting things to create an eye catching tableau.
