Been buying up vintage silk flowers for a new little venture. I love these, plucked from a 1920s wedding dress, but they are too, too expensive. Any sources for gorgeous, totally madcap bonkers silk blooms? Aside from Dulken & Derrick, though I would love to patronize the preferred vendor of Eleanor Roosevelt.

I really love this guide to NYC shopping at House and Garden (found via design*sponge). It is a perfect marriage of old and new and is deliciously quixotic, like these images of New York.
