For my husband's birthday this past June, we started our summer with a weekend trip to NYC. I was just getting over my first case of poison ivy (that's another story altogether) and a little on the miserable side. Since I was uncomfortable in the heat but trying to be a good sport, we spent most of our time inside museums: the Expressionist print show at
the MoMA on Saturday and
the Cloisters on Sunday. I loved the print show, since it reminded me of part of our honeymoon in Vienna, but the gorgeous pottery and tapestries at the Cloisters really spoke to me... sounds corny, I know, but the patterns, designs and intricate details on each piece made my jaw drop. To think they were created centuries ago is amazing. I think they might inspire some new pottery designs for me this winter.... take a look!

| This is a horrible photo, but it shows the whole tapestry with all the detailed flowers. Who doesn't like a fenced-in unicorn? |
