Every once in a
while a girl needs to get away, soak up some new scenery and jump start her creative
juices. Lucky for me that once or twice a year I visit
one of my favorite places on earth - New York City – with one of my favorite people
on earth– my sister.
I never seem to
lose touch with the excitement at not hearing an alarm clock in the morning and
drinking coffee and juice while staring out our hotel window….ok and eating
Cracker Jack’s for breakfast. I have to admit the "surprise" inside was a little disappointing. What ever happened to the plastic ring?
While shopping,
eating and people watching are my personal faves, this trip I really wasn’t
focused on textile shopping for Jilly Bean.
I did manage to drop a bundle in M & J Trimming on buttons and
ribbon so be on the lookout for some pretty cool trims at Jilly Bean in the
coming months.
I don’t know how I’ve
missed Eleni’s at Chelsea Market but I can honestly say they’ve got something
for everyone. Every cookie and cake is almost
too pretty to eat but I took one or two for the team and I can tell you they
are securely on my NYC radar from this trip forward.
Of course there
are plenty of jumpsuits I would never buy and plenty of prints I don’t really
consider all that inspirational but I have to admit laughing is therapeutic; it
can be infectious and that just could be inspiring. Note the security tag just in case some animal
walks in looking to take their jumpsuit skin back!
