We had fun in NY and I figured it was about time I posted about it… it rained a lot, but that wasn’t really a problem. It actually meant we stepped into a few shops we might not have gone into, just because it was pouring so hard.<\/p>\n

\"rain\"<\/p>\n

One place we checked out when we happened to notice it, was the New York Doll Hospital on Lexington Ave- an amazing place. Piles and piles of dolls and doll parts. Lots of heads here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"window\"<\/p>\n

I went to all the Japanese Bookstores on the Crafting Japanese list. I had the most luck at Kinokuniya- it is a beautiful store and easy to find everything. I found some beautiful books on dolls, my favorite magazine “Dolly Dolly”, a book of puppets and puppetmakers from Japan. I ended up spending way too much money… my excuse was that it is cheaper then a trip to Japan.<\/p>\n

\"books\"<\/p>\n

We went to the Museum of Modern Art Shop<\/a>, one of my favorite places. I got these great socks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We went across the street to the American Folk Art Museum<\/a>. There was a show of the sculptures of Nek Chand<\/a>. Fantastic!<\/p>\n

On Sunday, we headed down to the lower east side. We went to Pearl River<\/a> where I could have spent most of the day. So many fun items to look at. I bought some chinese brushes and some paper fans to ward off my current plague of hot flashes.<\/p>\n

We then headed over to Purl<\/a>– the yarn store and also the fabric store. They are just as great as everyone says. Since I absolutely don’t need any fabric or yarn, I had to control myself. I bought some white silk tape that I thought would be great for embroidery. I bought myself some fat quarters- just something to remember my trip.<\/p>\n

\"purl\"<\/p>\n

We went to Pearl Paint which is a total nostalgia trip for me- it was such a big deal to go there when I was young and in art school.<\/p>\n

We came home, totally worn out. Now I can start planning for the next trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
