Nice of Mr Crane to pose. (lower right corner) Central Park in spring. #morningwalk #centralpark #newyorkcity #crane

The pretty centerpieces for today’s #kenilworthgardenclub luncheon, where I spoke about #thebeecottagestory . These girls are pros, and stylish and smart to boot. Thank you for a great day. #ilovechicago #centerpiece #entertaining #ladieslunch

And another view of my Chicago hostess’ lovely table with its fab centerpiece of tulips, ranunculas, hyacinths, and more. #pinkandgreen #springflowers #centerpiece #dinnerparty #entertaining

Striking arrangement of lacquer, decoupage and papier mache (correct?) on the wall of a Chicago friend’s dining room. #vignette #papiermache #decoupage #lacquer #wallart

Maybe my favorite painting ever: “The Wolf-Horse,” by my cousin Gray, when she was 8 and I was 11. We were mad for horses and painted them all the time. Cruelly i told her this one looked like a wolf, and she never forgave me. Had it waiting for me in my room when I came to stay with her this weekend. @elizathornbury @graystoughton #horsepaintings

Alessandra Branca, Richard Keith Langham, and Newell Turner rocked the house last night at the #newyorkschoolofinteriordesign One of my favorites was this image of Alessandra’s bench design is inspired by the traditional wooden benches from her native Italy. What is the name in Italian again, @abranca ? @richard_keith_langham @tnt3 #rockstarsofdesign
