Now I'm interested in revisiting it. With many of Wharton's characters, I find that I don't like some of their choices but ultimately have sympathy for them. Sounds like this won't be the case with Undine!Miss Bibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09433318219707424076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-7922150219607604622013-03-19T05:43:49.037-07:002013-03-19T05:43:49.037-07:00I have a feeling you would like an exhibition that...I have a feeling you would like an exhibition that recently opened at the Metropolitan Museum of Art: Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity.

Your table looks so beautiful, love the dishes and linens, but am curious as to why the napkins are to the right of the plates? Hollyflora is the best - they did the flowers for my daughter's wedding last summer and they were amazing. I've been bringing camellias into our home from our bushes too, but they sure fall off their stems easily - any tricks for that?KSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10251064646063353242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-36063556099279456192013-03-18T18:49:05.818-07:002013-03-18T18:49:05.818-07:00I'm listening to Custom of the Country on audi...I'm listening to Custom of the Country on audio right now!

Edit...Sunday, we have very similar tastes in books. Edith Wharton is a favorite of mine and I have read the The Custom of the Country many times over the years. She is an interesting lady and a very gifted writer.<br /><br />As for these flowers! Incredible arrangement, in fact I am sure there are a few I have never seen before.<br /><br />Have a wonderful week Sunday!

Wharton is indeed a gifted writer and this sounds like a page turner.<br />Love your spring flowers and little peeks into your dining rooms.
