Analisse Taft and James Gersten

I have always admired both the interior and exterior style of my friend and colleague, Analisse Taft who runs the stunning ALT Studio (in NY's flower district.) And I have been lucky enough to enjoy several delicious meals at her hubby, James' restaurants. I was happy to celebrate their wedding just over a year ago and wish them all the best for the years to come, feeding us all with delightful visual and culinary treats.

Litchfield's Oliver Wolcott Library Annual Festival of Trees

When my friend and fellow ICFF mate, Kyra (of twenty2 fame) asked me to join a group of other designers in creating centerpieces using alternative materials, rather than fresh flowers, I was happy to support the cause. The Wolcott is a beautiful and historic library, one of the oldest in the country. The centerpieces were auctioned at the Festival of Trees, their yearly fundraiser.

I used stems of raw cotton bolls wrapped in my white Silk Primitivo rug and tied with leather lace.

Be sure to visit the Oliver Wolcott Library next time you're in Litchfield, CT.
