I failed to write a proper post after our visit to Milwaukee over Thanksgving so I'm going to
do so now, everyone's getting a little tired of Christmas blogposts right?
Well, no, me neither but here goes anyway!
Thanksgiving table-setting, we all loved our cute pilgrim place cards
Bloody Mary, Milwaukee Style, ouch!
After all of the Thanksgiving feasts, we drove down to Chicago for the day, and went promptly to the RL Restaurant for more eating of course...the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous, feels like you're in Ralph's home, definitely a must if you're in Chicago!
Cloud Gate presiding over the seasonal ice-skating rink.
Playing with a Felix Gonzalez-Torres candy sculpture at the Art Institute. Please take a moment to read the link and meaning behind this piece of artwork, quite poignant.
...and another Gonzalez-Torres. Would love to see something like this at an event! Could be easily and fairly inexpensively done with a bag of mardi gras beads.
Ginormous chandeliers at the entrance of the Public Hotel, designed by Ian Schrager.
Our reason for going to the hotel, the infamous and recently updated Pump Room. Check out that domed gold leaf bar, so beautiful in person.
And the adjoining restaurant, these orbs of all different sizes and shades were fascinating and provided the restaurant with such a nice warm glow.
So that was Thanksgiving, minus a few hundred other pics I took...maybe by Valentines Day, I'll eventually get Christmas pics loaded! Hope yours was filled with family and friends!
