John Wind - Maximal Art A week late, we are going to a Halloween party tonight. Costme a conceptual mix of "East meets West" with a jumble of African tunic and 3 piece suit elements. I'll post photos if some of you share yours--what were you for Halloween?

It was a great night. The store (more like a village) is really something--a sumptuous mix of plants and garden decor with extensive indoor gifts, Christmas decor as far as the eye can see, accessories, surprises, gracious, friendly staff, and of course a swell JW/MA display! Will post some photos next week...

I used to live in Chester Springs (last year we moved to Western , PA). One of the things I miss the most is Waterloo Gardens, Exton! Hope you had a good show in my favorite nursery!

You won't believe what happened (well, maybe you will...) Our biggest appointment was called away to an emergency meeting 20 minutes before we got there! Could we come back tomorrow? Well, that's one of the few down-sides to living in Philadelphia; going to NY requires a little advance planning~ But don't worry, e rescheduled for later in the month.

John Wind - Maximal Art Hi Nicole, that charm is a 1937 Omaha Chauffeur badge I found at a flea market and had reproduced. One of my favorites too! JW

Thanks! Which color did you get? Curious if you chose it to match a bag, or just because it spoke to you?

I got the turquoise one. It just spoke to me and I love the color combination! I have so many vera bradley bags so I rarely buy anything to match. I'm just bumbling mix of bright colors all over, haha!

Last night was a great Fashion evening in Philadelphia. 250 turned up at the museum to honor Tom Marotta, a native son and long-time couture buyer for Saks 5th Avenue. After that a stunningly staged fashion show on the museum's Great Stairs as part of Drexel University's Arts of Fashion Symposium. Finally, Joan Shepp (my dear friend and owner of our town's finest boutique), Elizabeth Wellington, fashion writer for the Phila Inquirer, and I grabbed a bite at the new Village Whiskey. Fun!

For 7 great years I did the window display for our friend Joan Shepp, 'retiring' about 2 years ago. Well, Joan has convinced me to come back for one more window, a holiday presentation of the avant-garde designer Martin Margiela. The whole process is being filmed for a cable TV show. Yesterday was a planning meeting,... and we'll install mid-November. Stay tuned. This photo is one of my favorite windows from the past--celebrating the Philadelphia Museum of Art's Salvador Dali show.Read More

John Wind - Maximal Art A funny Thanksgiving story from Sue: I sold two large decorative turkeys today. They wanted something around the neck and I told them I could make a bow for them.Then I said how about putting some jewels on them. As it turned out, I sold them the gold necklace with the enhancer. Just think you will be the talk of the Thanksgiving table! Whoever is doing this, please send photos! JW
