I am happy that Maxwell posted about the flower market but I wish he went into where to buy blooming branches and palm leaves. I always see great use of them in magazine spreads and catalogs but its not that accessible to find in day to day city life.

This post is true FATE!
My fake grandmother left my family her antique butcher block many years ago. My parents had no were to keep it but the garage where it has been subjected to the harsh seasonal tempuratures of NJ. I recently decided in my mind to bring it to my own apartment in brooklyn as use it as another counter space (one with much sentimental value). I didn't of course tell my parents who never get rid of anything. Their garage was full of old sofas, tables, clothes etc-- this is until this week when they scheduled Habitat for Humanity to take all of it away unknowingly to me.

Today I received and email from my mother saying everything is gone.. They cleaned out the garage, except for the butcher block table which the HH wouldnt take!!! It was pure luck! My grandma is looking down upon me. And then two emails down from my mom's was the AT blast and in the headlines was how to restore butcher block tables. TRUE FATE! I feel very lucky right now!

My next question is how to haul that thing to Brooklyn from NJ? The thing ways a ton! But hey let's not sweat the small things!
