New York #2

sometimes I am surprised how inspirational three days in a different environment can be


the streets in New York in Fall are so pretty


and somehow the fabric and yarn I found at Purl Soho

were matching the environment again


pretty displays at Purl Soho

it was so great to visit their shop and actually see the designs from their blog in real life


and as I unpacked my suitcase

I found out the pictures I took at the huge and amazing Anthropolgie store at Rockefeller Center

as well as the notebooks and bowls I got there ~ are matching the color scheme in this post too


the Botanical Notebook Collection from Rifle Paper Co.

those of you who have been visiting here for a while, may remember I got their 2010 Christmas cards

I simply love the designs by Anna Bond


full of inspiration ~ I am happy to be home again in Canada

though it still feels a little strange, Canada is home now

well, after all we have been here for only a little more than 2 months


for you my sweeties

on New York wrapping paper, the Christmas ornament heart

because you are always here ~ home of creJJtion

and you make me smile, you inspire and encourage me every day
