Hat Fashion at the 2014 Philadelphia Flower Show


The Philadelphia Flower Show has much fashion for those attending. These hat creations were just really so fabulous, and I didn't have time to show you them last year. Since the 2015 show is coming up in a few days, I thought this would be a good time to display for you. 


The details in them are just mind blowing! So beautiful ! 

I think anyone would be thrilled to wear any one of these creations! Here is some information for you about the 2015 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show:

Personalities in the Art World at the 2014 Philadelphia Flower Show

The theme of the 2014 Philadelphia Flower Show was ARTiculture and this display really lived up to the name. Showing various artists, it was really such a fun portion of the show. 
Cool, right ? 
Not shocked we have some ribbon winners for this display. 



I know I am bad, but he reminded me of Larry from The Three Stooges! And yes, Larry was my favorite! 
But of course it is Rodin ! 



I really loved this with the doves. So pretty, 

The Girl with the Pearl Earring is one of my favorite works of art and movies 

I hope my photos interest you in paying a visit to the Philadelphia Flower Show. If you are into flowers or art in general, you will enjoy it very much. Each year they really make you shake your head when you see what they can come up with!

Miniature Settings at the 2014 Philadelphia Flower Show

I hope you don't mind that we take a trip back to the 2014 Philadelphia Flower Show, but there was so much to show you and not enough time! The miniature settings were really adorable, and I was thrilled my photos came out pretty good of all of them. I have a doll house from when when I was little, but never really furnished it. These scenes just really blew my mind! So lifelife, and so much detail, I thought you would enjoy seeing them. I cannot believe it is the middle of August already, and before you know it, the 2015 Philadelphia Flower Show will be here! Enjoy !! 




















I hope you enjoyed these. I had to stand in line to view them but I felt it was very much worth it. So many talented people!
