I was drawn to these because they remind me of the of birthday cakes I
loved as a  child.  Remember the hard sugar flowers that decorated the cakes?

At ARAKS Studio, we watched with great anticipation as CNN streamed live onto
our computer screen and Barack Obama took his oath to become the 44th President
of the United States of America.  We believe in his ability to bring beauty and hope
back to the people in our great country.

I love these candlesticks by Moser. 
They remind me of the Ring-Pops we used to wear as a kid.

New Year's Eve Ball, 1978. Photo credit: The New York Times

Yay for 2009!
In 1955, this version of the New Years Ball was introduced. This Ball remained unchanged
until the 1981, when red light bulbs and the addition of a green stem converted the Ball
into an apple for the "I Love New York" marketing campaign.
