Here comes the bride…

Lily of the Valley

Lily-of-the-valley is one of my favorite flowers. They are so cute and elegant! The scent is magnificent! No wonder many designer brand fragrances are using the scent of this flower in their ingredients. Even though I read that it is not difficult for it to grow, however I rarely see them. I will definitely plant them when I have a garden in the future.

The weekend at the Hampton

This trip of mine to Amagansett, Long Island was 2 weekends ago. I was busy and haven’t been able to talk about it.
Amagansett is next to East Hampton, both are places of the wealthy living in New York, they usually have their mansion or beautiful cottage in this part of Long Island.

Since I was there for my training, hubby thought it would be nice to meet me there and travel to Montauk together to see the light house, that’s at the very end of the island. And it’s just another 40 minutes to Montauk from East Hampton.
It’s really beautiful over there, I heard about Montauk a long time ago and we were talking about going there but we never been able to drag ourselves to travel there because it’s a 3 hours drive from New York City to the end of Long Island.
However, due to the limited time and it was pretty chilly, we didn’t spend that much time in the East Hampton but I will be going back there in the summer and we’ll share more of the pictures of the beautiful East Hampton.

This is part of East Hampton, it’s very quiet and peaceful. It reminds me of Europe.

On our way to the light house at Montauk.

Here’s the light house at Montauk, Long Island.

I think hubby’s photography skill has improved a lot.

We wanted to get closer to the water but it was very windy and chilly that Easter morning.

I was collecting some beautiful stones and pebbles, they are so round and polished.

And we will be back in the summer when the weather is much warmer…

My friend got up early in the morning and cut these daffodils from the garden for me before I left. They were lovely on my dinning table.

Spring time & the Flower Power!

It was a very nice warm breezy day on Saturday. Hubby and I were in the mood for a walk around the city. We went to Union Square for Paragon Sports since he’s going to get me a swimming cap, goggle and the earplugs as he promised. ^_^
I have long forgotten about the farmers’ market which are usually there certain time of the year especially when the weather is nice. There’s always fresh local produce you can find with reasonable price.

And what attracted my attention?….no surprise….the FLOWERS! They were so fresh and beautiful!

I had hard time which one to pick. They were all so beautiful. Which one do you like? The hyacinth, tulip or the freesia?

Then, something caught my eyes….

Wow, even the dried one were so beautiful and colorful. And I figured… why not I buy these since it’s going to last longer, hehe

These dried chilies bouquets were so beautiful, I took a sniff, hooo… it’s hot! I almost bought it but then… I think these purple little flowers would look nicer in my living room.

Chilies wreath!

Some other interesting stuffs… homemade candles…

And hubby spotted something hilarious about this T-shirts stand… Can you see it?

..…

…..

Hahaha, when are we gonna get over this? The Obamas have become the “American Idol”! Everywhere you go, at every corner of the streets, you’ll see their faces printed on something.

Just before we leave for lunch, ahh….more flowers…
Me: baby, can I get that hydrangea?
Hubby: Hmm, no place for that la…I’m hungry, come on, let’s go.
Me: -_-

The lunch at Cosi was great! Flatbread with mozzarella, tomatoes and basil, and a house lemonade. Yummo!
