colors
I am going to New York City tomorrow for a few days. I’ve been checking out various blog reports for where my favorite craft people went in the city. It is harder then I thought though- People don’t just have a link on their home page that says “My favorite New York Places”… hmmm, maybe I should do that! I’ve checked out Distressed’s New York resources list- very helpful. It has a lot of the same stores as the Threads Magazine list had, and unfortunately that list seems to have disappeared off the web. I also want to go to some of the Japanese bookstores mentioned here on Crafting Japanese. This morning I was reading mmm… coffee and she mentioned some places she liked (perfect timing!). I thought I’d try to check out Pearl River- looks fantastic. I still want to see if I can track down the Yarnstorm New York posts and anyone elses… including my own.
I am not getting any craft work done, so instead of a boring no picture post, here are some beautiful colors from my garden-
hay ferns
Graham Thomas rose
Abraham Darby rose
Wife of Bath Rose
Betty Prior rose
Scented geranium
Allium
iris
sedum

that area of downtown around broadway has always been my favorite place to window-shop! i’m too late to recommend anything, but there’s also a Kate’s Paperie near Pearl River. and down on canal near Pearl Arts is this amazing plastics store full of well, plastics, but i used to go there to buy sticker paper in incredible patterns & colors. oh, New York! i will definitely work on a “favorite places in NYC” list for future trips!
and gorgeous flowers, i wish that i could grow things. i try, but not successfully - i’ve even killed a spider plant! now that takes talent.
