a day at the park

Saturday, June 21, 2008 No Comments

My Friday was spent at Central Park and driving around uptown with a few friends. Anyways here’s my favorite shot out of the whole bunch of park photos. You can see a few selected ones over at flickr.

I love the architectural designs of the old classic buildings here in New York and all around the park, so much detail and you know what? There’s a history and a meaning of some sort to every detail, statue, symbol, you name it there’s a reason! Look at this one, not such a great photo but you get the idea. They really don’t make them like they use to!! I can’t believe the designs of some. Maybe I’m just a classic (and not so modern) girl at heart :)

Have an awesome weekend!

happy sunday

I can’t believe a week has gone by since my last post already. How time does fly! I haven’t been very productive lately. Maybe it’s the summer heat that I can’t stand to do a thing, but then again I love the warm weather. Sometimes I just like to pretend that I’m a little kid again and all the responsibilities over me are non existent. We are in the process of applying to buy a co-op apartment and meeting the lawyer tomorrow afternoon to go over the contract. It’s scary to be making such a huge investment on just a little apartment. NY is still really really expensive so right now we can’t afford a house. Hopefully one day I’ll have my own yard to play in. But for now the local park will just have to do.

Happy father’s day, Dad! I love you! And I’m glad you came home (your real home) to NY to hang out with us for two weeks :)

it's a bright one

finds: earmark

Saturday, June 7, 2008 No Comments

I was happy to wake up yesterday to find this at my doorstep. A little package from Earmark. I ordered it a few weeks ago and it finally arrived along with a few little cards and a great looking business card.

They have a whole set of these magnets and matching cards with quotes from influential figures like Mark Twain (that’s the one I got). I guess I needed a little reminder everyday to just go and do. You can see them all in their shop.

Birds

I hope every one had a fun weekend. I ended up in New Jersey on Saturday and hung out with my very good friends Despina & Greg. She is actually now very very pregnant (9 months) and judging from her baby bump it looks like it’s about to bust. It was really nice seeing them and I was able to give them the mobile of birds I made a while ago along with a few eggs. The nest is for a bird house that she had in the (soon to be) baby room. She has this whole bird theme happening and it looks great. I hope to get pictures of the mobile hung up in it’s space so you can see what an awesome job she did decorating the room. So here’s a glimpse of the finished piece (thanks to my sister’s assistance). Aren’t they cute? I made one have a branch in his mouth :)

I snagged me a treasury on Etsy this fine morning. It’s been a while since my last one so if you have time check these guys out. The list will only be up for three days.

I hope everyone is happy that it’s Friday and looking forward to a fabulous weekend. I know I am :)

lily pads

Thursday, May 29, 2008 No Comments

We went to the local pond and there were massive amounts of lily pads this year. It’s pretty still water so it’s a bit murky under. Didn’t see any frogs this time around but I did catch a family of turtles all huddled on a rock catching some sun.

Aren’t they just adorable?

happy friday

… and have a wonderful extended weekend :)

just some stuff

I’ve been busy this week, therefore my absence here. Sorry! So much is going on all at once. I hope to share with you all in the future. For now, I just wanted to share with you some photos I took over the week.

Here’s one I captured last weekend in Flushing, Queens while the sun was setting. It made a plain new building glow in pinkness.

I’ve also been busy working on a wholesale order for the UK. I actually just mailed it earlier today. I hope it gets there in one piece.

MF and I spent some time at the Queens Botanical Garden today. Not much picture taking for me, just a simple stroll around the park and a nice seat to relax in while watching the little kids playing in and around the fountain.
