vanity fair recently featured an article about bunny mellon's estate in oak spring, virginia. she is 100 years old and has lived here probably FOREVER. she's a recluse and it shows: she has big vegetable gardens, an outdoor tea room with reflecting pool, and of course that crabapple arbor leading to her greenhouse (and oh yeah, a "basket house," filled with - you guessed it - baskets). this makes me wish i had tons of land and a green thumb to boot. i love nature, though i'm not good at cultivating it, and by the way: the secret garden was one of my absolute favorite children's books. zomg, i would have DIED to find a real secret garden. or, i could just be like bunny, and make my own!!
good on ya, james reginato and jonathan becker for vanity fair
