There's NO Feng Shui in The Hamptons?
I was thrilled to hear the Hamptons Home and Garden Show on Long Island, New York is coming up and went to check the details of the show. If you've never been out to The Hamptons, it's a very special place in New York. While I'm not there as often as I am in the City (in the summer be prepared for major traffic jams), the Spring is the perfect time to go and every year a huge event is held there.
It covers the entire weekend and vendors from all over come to show the latest and greatest. The lectures are free and this year cover everything from Specialty Food and Liquor tasting, a live auction and a free fitness evaluation with nutritional advice to a huge array of speakers on almost every subject imaginable. The second day of this event is for "Green" only and while reviewing who's giving lectures and what they are pertaining to, I wondered "Where's the Feng Shui." I happen to know first hand that Feng Shui is VERY popular in the Hamptons and in all parts of it so I'm surprised there is no speaker for it.
Granted, a Feng Shui Consultation in the Hamptons would cost a bit more then a "regular" consultation; going through a Mansion and making suggestions as well as the blessings would take considerably more time then a more "normal" sized home. The architecture of the Hamptons comes in all shapes and sizes of homes, new and old and they all fascinate me. I believe my favorite is situated on Dune Road (or, unfortunately, what is left of Dune Road) with a perfectly ROUND house that has always amazed me.
This wonderful event is in Southampton, a short ride (unless you get caught up in traffic) from The Hampton Bays, my own particular favorite part of the Hamptons since I was young. Ah, the good old days....When weekends rolled around my sister and I would throw a few things in the car and head out to "Hot Dog Beach" in the Hampton Bays. The band (and the dancing) started at 12:00 pm every day...one long day and evening and lots of fun.
Ok, enough reminiscing. If you're out in the New York area and would like to see the show of the season, it's right at the Southampton Elks Lodge and Fairgroundsin Southhampton, Long Island, New York with 17 acres of displays and a drawing for a free $2,500 shopping spree at Waldbaum's supermarket. One of the suggested places to stay (which I can personally recommend) is The Baywatch Motel and Marina at 72 Foster Avenue, Hampton Bays, New York.

Went to the Hamptons twice. From Staten Island and Monmouth County it felt like forever to get out there. Long Island = one road in, one road out. Or so my perception, Carole.
