macy's flower show
Not only is Macy's the largest department store in the US but every spring they hold their annual flower show. So of course I was expecting something spectacular. Now don't get me wrong ... millions of fresh flowers every where is always spectacular ... but it wasn't quite what I expected. So my friend Kelli and I went on Saturday to check out what all the fuss was about.
When entering the main lobby we saw many fresh flowers atop all the cosmetic counters, and they were very beautiful exotic flowers. But it just wasn't what I thought it would be. So we continued to wonder around looking for something to amaze us and this is what we found.
An enormous sculpture made entirely out of flowers!! It was very neat and we had the pleasure of conversing with the artist who informed us, that this particular sculptor took 24 hours to construct with the help of 6 assistants and was made up of over 26,000 flowers (at least I think that's what he said) the sculpture had already been up for a day and the flowers still looked beautiful. But because it's New York City and every where you go there's a crowd we only got a quick second for a shot (hence the red blob in the corner). But it's one of those New York things I can now say that I've done. I know I'm being very sarcastic but it was very beautiful and a nice reminder of spring, especially after all the rain we've been having.

It looks like fun, or at least a change from the other cheesy decorations they usually have. Not quite tulips on temple square level, though. Hopefully you bought some cute shoes to make the trip worthwhile.
Well even if the flower show wasn't too impressive at least we got chipotle out of it :)
Your blog looks nice. I see you figured out the music thing. Sorry I couldn't help, but let me know if you have any other questions! :)
