Day 1- we left Boston in a winter storm. It is becoming a habit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We went on the BoltBus<\/a>. It has wifi and that was great fun. I was very happy that I wasn’t the one driving in the terrible weather. We made it safely to the city and only a little bit later than scheduled.<\/p>\n

The snow had turned to rain by the time we got to NY. We left our baggage at the hotel and went out again. First stop- Kinokuniya<\/a>– the Japanese Bookstore. It is very close to where we were staying. I was hunting for some decorative package tape to liven up my Etsy packages. They have a great stationary department at Kinokuniya, but no luck with the tape. Lots of other very interesting things to look at though. Next was a walk through the Fashion District- always fun.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We stepped into a store full of magazines and because it was in the fashion district, I shouldn’t have been amazed when I realized that almost every one was fiber and fashion related. Wow! I picked up one magazine that looked interesting- embroidery in fashion- price $55- eek!<\/p>\n

We were on our way to Brooklyn to see Disfarmer<\/a>, Dan Hurlin’s newest puppet show. To add to the fun, we took a water taxi to get there. Everything in the city was wet (including us), shiny and beautiful\u00c2\u00a0 (not us). I experimented with trying to get some night photos- I’ve been inspired by the city photos of my Boston Handmade<\/a> friend Kerry<\/a>. I love the way she captures the feeling of neighborhoods. Here are some of my wet city pics-<\/p>\n

And then on the boat-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and outside the window- everything is jiggly because of the movement of the boat-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That is the Chrysler buildin<\/a>g above.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We made it to Brooklyn, had dinner, saw the show, made it back to the hotel… phew! What a day! That’s enough for now. I’ve been away from my studio for way too long and I’m hoping to get back into the swing of things today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
