New York 2013

A very belated post on highlights from my NYC trip

last May accompanied by my eldest daughter. We stayed in an apartment on the upper east side 

coincidentally rented from a woman I went to grade school 

with many, many years ago!

It added an extra meaning to this 4 day jaunt- when we open up and shift our routines 

there are many things to reveal & discover...

 Marimekko Store

 "Hungary Torn" concert at Carnegie Hall

 breakfast at "The Kitchenette"

 amazing store: "The Meadow" where we bought beautiful artisnal salts

 store I'd always wanted to visit: "The End of History"

 the Highline

 mid-day coffee break

 waited in line for cheap seats!

walking home 

amazing last day breakfast!

My 2 Florida Vintage Purchases

A set of miniature skaters, likely for use in model making. On sale in my Etsy shop.

a miniature of Robert Indiana's iconic "LOVE". this one's a keeper.

West Palm Beach Vintage Market

During the first week of my month long stay in Palm Beach, Florida, I attended the monthly West Palm Beach Vintage/Antiques Fair. There were well over 1,000 vendors present, in both indoor and outdoor locations. Quite massive indeed. I spent 4 hours there, checking out each and every seller's wares. I must say, most of the items were either not my thing (too 'granny'), too expensive (what's the fun in that), or too large to even consider lugging home to Canada.

Here are some photos of what caught my eye but were not practical to purchase, obviously. In my next post I will reveal the 2 minor but lovely treasures I DID end up purchasing.

 3 stools from the NY School of Art & Design circa 1950- $95. each

 the OLIVER Standard Visible Writer- $250.

 Cathrineholm at non-bargain prices
