Romany Kramoris Gallery in Sag Harbor just opened their 3rd Annual Spring Flower Show. The new show features local artists' floral inspired work in multiple mediums. Oils and watercolors, collage, pottery, blown glass and feathered head pieces are creatively displayed. Featured artists include Muriel Hanson Falborn, Arianne Emmerich, Laura Rozenberg, JoAnne Carter, Maria Orlova, Coco Pekelis, Joyce Brian, Taffi Laing, Richard Udice and Adeline Heurteu.
This Saturday was a beautiful day to explore Sag Harbor.
Inside the Gallery is a treasure trove.
The center of the room is anchored by a table of collectible books.
One wall displays an international selection of CDs.
Towards the back: art paper, cards, travel journals and sketchbooks. The gallery carries jewelry and many other gift items. Their collection of vintage postcards and letters fascinated me. I found a card commemorating an April 21, 1923 voyage from New York to Southampton via Cherbourg on the RMS Majestic of the White Star Line complete with remarks on weather conditions and "Kathleen's first trip" written in pencil. A vintage photo postcard of two women in a garden and a drawing room scene with a couple playing piano and violin were interesting finds. All this and lovely art to see!

As I was purchasing my antique postcard discoveries a recording by Pink Martini dispayed at the cash register caught my eye. Balloons on the CD cover, it was titled: Get Happy - and I was.
