April is here, and that means gardens are getting started! These calendula seedlings are great examples of plants that would likely have been grown in the 1704 House’s kitchen garden during the 18th century. Calendula, also known today as English marigold, was grown for medicinal use in colonial American gardens, to create an ointment for wounds and stings. It is still grown in many gardens today for its beautiful and edible flowers. Let us know what’s growing in your garden! #localhistory #brintons #westchesterpa #gardening #garden #calendula #spring #historichomes #historicgardens https://www.instagram.com/p/B-dF6D9j05B/?igshid=wc48xivcbrku

Happy International Women’s Day! Today we honor Susanna Brinton (left) and her sister, Mary, exemplary Brintons dedicated to women’s suffrage. “Among those who know her, she has always stood out as a remarkable character, exemplified by her commendable independence of thought and clarity of judgement. After the winning of suffrage for women, a county celebration was held at Parkesburg. She and her sister Mary Hopkins rode in the parade, honored and acclaimed for their enthusiasm and years of loyalty to the cause of women’s rights.” -Gilbert Cope, 1924 #eachforequal #localhistory #chestercounty #brintons #delawarecounty #westchesterpa https://www.instagram.com/p/B9e8En-jqli/?igshid=zn3d3853ymap

Looking forward to interviewing the Prince of Pixels—the award-winning #Catalan designer #CristianZuzunaga—at the inaugural A+R #SalonSeries Thursday night. @AplusRdesign is my design biz (in case you didn’t know), and we have shipped over Cristian’s work—furniture, lighting, kilim rugs, mirrors, textiles and decorative pieces—from Barcelona as part of the event and subsequent month-long showcase. So, too, some of his fine art, rarely seen in NoAmerica, which also provides context to his process, an unexpected application of the #analog to his #Technicolor, technology-infused flights of pattern. Here is an example of some of signature work, as seen at #SanFrancisco’s The Alise Hotel (and produced by heritage carpet maker #Brintons). ⚪️ Event is 6:30-8:30 at our space @ROWDTLA, and the #Barcelona duo behind the delicious @TumacaTruck is serving up tapas.
