This week's Windowlicker guest editor is Anne Landsman, author of the new novel, The Rowing Lesson (and one of my PR clients), which The New York Times Book Review praised this past weekend as "intensely exhilarating" and for its "visceral appeal." Anne says:
The first piece is the Oya Necklace (literally "neck lace"). For sale at Blue Tree on Madison Avenue, between 91st and 92nd. The price is $345. If I were to be garlanded "Fairy Princess of the World," I would choose an Oya necklace for the coronation ceremony. The vintage hand-crocheted flowers (Oyas) hail from Anatolia and are part of a centuries-old tradition. Anatolian women bordered their scarves in oyas, using the garlands of tiny crocheted flowers and vegetables to signal emotions, "that otherwise remain unexpressed, due to the discreteness of their character."
Windowlicker - from the French for window shopping: faire du lèche-vitrine - appears on Tuesday and Thursdays at 10am EST-ish.
