Blowing Kisses to NYC

Tinsel Trading, like sugar for my notion sweet tooth.

I know they say everything is bigger in Texas, but New York might be runner up.
I think people could tell I was not a native with my head back and lens in the air everywhere I went.  What do you think?
Artists & Fleas, kind of like a real live Etsy gathering of shops.  Ryan found a neat, graphic t and I a little gift.
[You'd think my neck would still be aching...]
And this little scene I thought belongs with those of Kojo's Color My Summer series just launched!  You'll want to follow along!
I love the first exit from the subway into this breathtaking city, the smells, the sounds, and the excitement.
ABC Home, where we were unable to get into their new restaurant.  Oh, to have connections. But we did enjoy perusing their wares anyhow.

Can you spy my little Ry?  
He's holding my roasted cauliflower sandwich in this petite, unpretentious place of a restaurant-one of our repeats of past visits.
Miss Liberty
Framed Skyline
M.B.
Stray Seating
Does this count as a haircut?
The last day we were there was so chilly for these two southerners that we stopped to warm our bones and get some hot chocolate and pain au chocolat.  
Okay.  That's it for my NYC photos.  Promise.  Now getting back to business.  Especially since I just finished about 73,143 loads of laundry with 2 to go.  I should have taken a picture for you, but I was on such a roll that I didn't want to interrupt my folding rhythm.  Now Clover has clothes to wear again.  That's always nice.

  2. Your pictures left me pining for the city! I lived in NYC for a semester in college and had the time of my life. Looks like you did too!

  9. New York is part of our turf, but it's always fun to see it through other's eyes. I think it gives a different kind of glimpse.
    Only, I believe that was the Manhattan bridge. The Brooklyn Bridge has stone supports.

  11. Ok, nothing to do with NY, but can I just say I totally relate to you on the laundry front. Ever since we opened our garden for spring, the laundry has been relentless. A casualty of five kids!

  13. Sparrow's nest-no, they were in the front of a store in chinatown for sale, but cool nonetheless.

    Sherry-ah. You are correct.

    Roselady-Glad you can relate!
