christmas time in the city

Last weekend I got to go to New York City with Ryan, Dad, Mom and Grandma Potter. We had a grand time. It was the first time for my Dad and Grandma. We squeezed alot into the 4 days we were there.


We played touriest by seeing most of the "must see's".

Central Park. Wicked. Times Square. Manhatten Temple.

Rocfeller Center. Empire State Building.

Staten Island Ferry out to see the State of Liberty.

China Town. Soho. Grand Central Station. Washingotn Square Garden.

Financial District. Ground Zero. Tried to go to Regis & Kelley, no luck. lots of subway rides.

Christmas was every where I looked and I loved it! So many Christmas trees all over the city! I love this time of the year and NYC definitely know how to get into the Christmas spirit!

and of coarse, the tree at the Rockefeller Center

Oh I LOVE New York City!

We ate ate and ate lots of delioues food.

Shake Shack. Rice to Riches. Pink Berry.

Jr. Cheesecake chocolate mousse. Lombardis Pizza. Magnolia Bakery red velvet cupcake.

Kat'z Deli Pastrami sandwhich, Nutx 4 Nutz. Hale and Heartly Soup.

yummm nyc has the best food

Shake Shack

I got to see my dear friend Cynda her hubby Ben and meet there cute friends Mike & Kristen.

We also got to see Scothcy, no MB sadly.

oh and I cant forget our 3 celeb sightings...

Louie Vito pro snowboarder, Crystal Bowersox- American Idol, the "angry elf"- Elf

It was a perfect weekend spending lots of much needed time with my parents and grandma, they are the best! We had loads of fun exploring the city, and not getting lost once! I am pretty proud of that accomplishment, I mean I get lost here in Corpus. But thanks to the iTrans NYC app I download we made it around just fine, it was a life saver. If you are planning a trip to New York and need help on the subway it worth every penny of the $3.99. December was the perfect time to visit, seems like a lot of other people thought that too. Saturday night at the Rockerfeller Center was not a good idea crazy crazy crowded. Next time I think I would like to see the city in the summer and just relax in Central Park and the Met the whole time, until then good-bye NYC!

meet me in the middle

and apparently it hearts me too.

French toast for lunch.

Last piece was heart shaped.

Awesome.

The Compass Rose

Friday i had the day off, i lovvvve my days off. usually they mean getting stuff done but Friday was just an enjoyable day. My day, from the end to the beginning, why not?

We ended the night playing settlers with our friends and watch "The nightmare before Christmas" first time i had seen it and i loved it. But after it was one of those movie that i just kept thinking why have i not seen this before?!?

Before that I had quite the impulse buy...

Ryan said that this was the best purchase i have ever made (he is just happy that he does not have to play photographer anyone) because now i have a model to put my clothes on and I can take the pictures my self. i love it, its perfect i can even pin stuff i am making to it, which means i will hopefully be getting less pin pricks. Her name is Gisele.

i found this gem in a store that was going out of business next door to the cafe i had lunch at with my friend. Cafe Heaster's.

OH MY GOSH. i did not stop talking about this place all day long, ask Ryan he had to listen to me. When you find something awesome and you want to share it with the ones you love right? (if anyone comes to visit us in south texas we will take you :) So naturally i tell Ryan how we have to go back asap so he can try it and his reply... oh ya that place is great i went there a about two MONTHS ago with the guys from work, i thought you would like it.... WHAT!?! and you never told me..... ohhh its sooo good though.

BEFORE that lovely lunch i went to the fabric store and got...
love them.

And before that, I went to my very first...
Estate sale!!! Jessica & I woke up super early and drove outside of Corpus to the estate sale. I was excited cause this one had a lagre sewing room in it and was hoping to get a serger no luck but I did find these treasures.

BOX of thread $5

Bottle of vintage buttons $4.00
