The Philadelphia Flower Show and Other Things

FHFB and I drove down to the Philadelphia Flower Show a couple of weeks ago. 

Our weekend started with a night at the Borgata Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City with dinner at Bobby Flay's Steak restaurant - I know that I've mentioned before how much I love the Chopped Salad with Lobster - just delicious! 

The next day we drove over to Philadelphia and met our friends Forrest and Stephanie for the weekend - visiting the flower show and hanging out at the Reading Terminal Market - a new favorite place of mine!! 

On Saturday we drove over to Bethlehem, PA for a couple of antique shows that were a bit disappointing but we made everything better by stopping by the Apollo Grill in Bethlehem for their delicious small bites menu - they serve all of the appetizers at the bar - we love to sit and try a few different dishes each time we visit, and we always meet someone interesting! 

This last photo is of one of the displays at the flower show.  It is such a beautiful room - I especially love the walls and how the panels are used to decorate and create structure.  Isn't is gorgeous??  You can see all of the awards that this design won right there in the front, sitting on the floor. 

How can I get this look in one of the downstairs bedrooms? 

FHFB just shook his head when I mentioned this - but I think it's doable on some level, don't you??

Here are a few more photos from the flower show - they are keeping me happy while I watch the snow pile up outside the windows of the great room at my dad's house. I'm hanging out with him for the day.

Thinking about flower gardens and spring entertaining on our back porch!!

I'm joining Seasonal Sundays at The Tablescaper!!

Ciao, bella!
