The Weekend in Black and White

How do you get to Carnegie Hall?
You know the answer to that one.  And
when you get there, you can
admire the beautiful lamps on the façade.

ABC Wednesday—T is for "Tiffany"

Three turn-of-the-century Tiffany lamps
on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art:
a chandelier with "blossom globes,"
a standing lamp with a peony shade, and a
table lamp with a lotus shade.  I hope that whoever
got to live with these lamps at the time
had the good grace to fully appreciate them!
(Louis Comfort Tiffany made the little 
oak and bronze table too.)

Shadow Shot Sunday

I can't imagine going to Paris and not
taking at least one stroll along the
beautiful arcades of the Palais Royal—
especially lovely when the sun is out and
the lamps cast their shadows.

Simple and elegant!
