Long time no see.....

It's been a while I know... a very long while... maybe even a year??!!! Shocking!

Anyways, I thought I'd start back up with a laugh or two - this had me cracking up out loud!!!

Hot Down, Summer In The City....

NYC has been pretty sweltering recently, and with this weeks real feel temperatures hitting 100 degrees, I'm thanking the heavens for A/C's, iced coffee's and sunglasses!

Of course, hot august nyc days always make me think of this beloved classic... ohhh yeaaa!!!!! ;)

When Zeppelin Lights Up My Day...

I have posted about Marcel Wanders before (here!), and I do like what he does... One of my favorites is his Zeppelin chandelier, a classic structure made of steel, and then cocooned in a spray on resin which is protected by transparent finish. Not only does it provide diffused light, but there is a faceted crystal globe underneath and in the middle of the fixture, just to add that sparkle effect!

And yes, it does look like a spider had a field day with it... but that's what I kinda like about it too. Though perhaps not as much as the girl above...

It's clean, sharp, a little creepy, a lot rock and roll and well, when I see it, I have to of course listen to Led Zeppelin.. Ha! And I do looove Led Zeppelin...

Follow are two of my many favorite songs, unfortunately YouTube came up a little short on really good recordings, so these will have to do... I'm pretty sure I'll be listening to Robert Plant rock on for the rest of the night now anyways!

This first one, 'Your Time Is Gunna Come', is a bit more rock than the second and it suits the light fixture a little better, but I love 'Tangerine' so much and I think its such a beautiful song, that I had to share it too!

Light Of The Moon...

In my mind, this is where I am when I hear this music...

I just got off the phone with my Dad, and sometimes he'll play the piano for me while I listen. I absolutely love it...

My most favorite, which he did play, is Claude Debussy's 'Claire de lune'. It's a stunning piece. One that warms my heart in so many ways... It also reminds me of when I listened to him play it at Christmas, which I enjoyed so much. I can see Dad now - and his smile when's he's finished...
