While big ugly things will always happen around us, let us not overlook the blessings of tiny beautiful ones also always around us. I loved this play currently on at @publictheaterny starring @niavardalos Just great #tinybeautifulthings

Last night saw this jewel of a play about Walt Disney and Igor Stravinsky amd they got into a fuss over how IS’s Rite of Spring might be used in WD’s #Fantasia. Classic conflict of #artvsentertainment. And my first time @59e59 in NYC. Another jewel! And you dont have to schlep to Broadway! Also showing The Violin by #DanMcCormick #smallworld bu #frederickstroppel

This early morning light warming the buildings around Central Park lasts but minutes, and it feels like a gift to capture it, however fleetingly. #morninglight #prettylight #centralpark

Repost from my darlin’ cousin @renaearnhardt, who saw this at an old-fashioned hardware store in Waynesville NC. #goodadvice

Remember when it was all about this #applegreen?! Loving this @johnoetgen designed dining room and the mix of chairs and art hung all #higgledypiggledy Looking back again at houses loved and left – this my 1990s ATLANTA townhouse – which i may get to visit when Im there next week to speak at #designADAC @adacatlanta on Wednesday at 1 pm. Info via link in profile. Also thinking this week and praying for the many who’ve lost houses they’ve loved in the wake of storms and earthquakes. Blessings to you all.

Another house I’ve loved and left… the kitchen in my Atlanta townhouse. Loved that painted hutch). I will be speaking in Atlanta next Wed, Sept 27, at #discoveradac.
