Welcome to Psst, where each month the Remodelista and Gardenista editors share an inside look at what we’ve been reading, watching, coveting, pinning, visiting, and otherwise loving lately. Ahead, what we’ve been up to in November:
Above: “In early November, we stayed at the 200-year-old Stone Ridge Farm Inn in Bucks County, Pennsylvania for a family wedding weekend. It was rustic, charming, and quiet—even with a six month old baby.” – Morgan Above: “These days where I live, it gets dark around 4 p.m., and I’m aware lots of people don’t like it—but I relish it and the golden light that illuminates our house just before sunset. I snapped this in a corner of our dining room, just next to my great aunt’s hutch (whose name is Hutchinson) and our wedding flowers, dried and still going strong two years later.” – Ânnie Above: “The Whitney Museum’s re-staging of Alexander Calder’s Circus is a wonderful thing to see for all ages. As a young American artist in Paris in the 1920s, Calder created the first of his feats of derring do using wire and found materials and staging performances in which he served as ringleader. This collection is one of my greatest sources of inspiration and delight—it used to be on permanent view in the lobby at the Whitney’s original location. It’s up through March 9. And for those who can’t see it in person, I recommend watching an online video, such as this. That’s Calder himself and his wife in charge of the music. The video is playing at the museum—and though it’s so no-tech, kids were on the lying on the floor watching and howling.” – Margot
Above: “Rosa multiflora, a crimson tide of tiny rosehips at this time of year…. Collect as much as you like [it’s invasive]. These prickly sprays will become part of a wreath on a mugwort stem frame, and probably also syrup, made my usual way, by combining fruit and sugar in a jar, and waiting. It’s an easy way to make use of the tiny fruit.” – Marie Above: “Melissa, a Gardenista contributor, mailed me a cutting of her night-blooming cereus plant. It made the trip all the way from New York to Oregon! Here it is in its new home.” – Fan Above: “I just managed to catch Ann Hamilton’s powerful site-responsive installation ” We Will Sing” in the equally impressive roof space at Salt Mills, in Saltaire, West Yorkshire. I am always silenced by the size, scale and history of that textile mill, a favourite of mine. A UNESCO World Heritage site, it is home to the 1853 Gallery, one of the world’s largest collections of local lad David Hockney’s work, and boasts some of the best art, book, poster, design and antique stores, cafés and restaurants Up North. Make a day of it – an absolute must if you’re ever in Yorkshire.” – Deborah
Above: “I was in North Norfolk a few weeks ago to look at gardens. It’s a bit out of the way and by the time we got to Pensthorpe, a nature reserve that commissioned Piet Oudolf before he was famous, it was 10 minutes before closing time. His Millennium Garden was shimmering in the fading November light.” – Kendra
