White Christmas

Christmas in New York is magical.   Everyone is in such great spirits and despite the frigid temperatures, the streets were bustling at all times.  Once I mastered the technique of layering (I referred back to all of your fabulous suggestions here), I couldn’t believe how cozy it was jumping in and out of boutiques as I walked around Soho.  My meetings went really well and I can’t wait to share more about my upcoming collaborations shortly.

    It was quite the snow storm on Saturday wasn’t it?! I got up before it started and ran to the fabric store so I would have something to do during it all. It was great to sew all afternoon and evening while watching the snow fall. Pretty!

    Enjoy NY!!! So different than Cali for sure!…and I absolutely looooove your blog. I sort of stumbled on it last week at work– stayed late after everyone had left– and read through tons of posts. It was such a treat!

    Something about Christmas is definitely magical, but I always seem to get depressed too. That’s the holiday season, isn’t it?

    Love,

    So nice to meet you on Saturday! Sorry you got stuck in the storm, but glad you find it magical nonetheless. It turns out there’s nothing quite like New York at Christmas.

    Love your blog- Very inspiring. I knew the second I saw your photo of your city view that you were staying at our “City Home”. Since we moved to the burbs- we had to find a new home when we returned into the city, and that place has been it for the past 12 years. Everyone there is our extended family. Wonderful choice!

    Love New York, its my favorite place to be. Its unfortunate you had to catch it in the middle of a blizzard thought it could be even more beautiful in the snow.

    I have always found issues with shopping in freezing temperatures due to the drastic temperature changes while darting in and out of stores and then back into the chill. I am easily sick, though, I probably don’t have your kind of physical resolve and mettle.

    We have that same wallpaper in our half bath. We call it the “Bird Bath” because of the pattern. So funny to see it here too!
