New York



Well we are back from NYC but I have been a bit slack with my blogging so my apologies to one and all! I haven’t been well since our return either with a possible case of swine flu, although I will never know if it was or not because my doctor told me not to go into the surgery but I am on the mend slowly.

Anyway as you can see I managed to get my hands on an Alexander Girard LOVE cushion from Urban Outfitters in NYC  which I am very pleased with, it goes perfectly on my grey Eames rocker.I also picked up a couple of other Girard cushions for our bed and other bed spreads and cushions for a couple of friends, my suitcase and bag was bursting with home accessories! I did find Urban Outfitters rather odd though, both of the shops that we went to were very badly arranged and the rather young staff who loved themselves far too much seemed rather disappointed that they had to actually do some work! It was if they were just there to chat and have a laugh with each other, they were like some kids from FAME who believed that one day fame would be knocking on their door, I was expecting them to break into song and start singing “High Fidelity”!!!

Anyway we had a fantastic time and we didn’t want to leave and we will definitely be going back to the city we have totally fallen in love with. I have more pics to post, stories to tell about celeb spotting and our day hanging around a movie shoot….there is a clue in the title of this post…. 

Oh and also our new sofa has arrived which is absolutely gorgeous so there will be pics very soon…

It’s less than 48 hours to go until we leave leave for the Big Apple!!! To say we are excited is an understatement of mammoth proportions. I’m still not packed but then I always leave it until the last minute because I will only drag it all out again to check that I haven’t forgotten anything. I love the photograph above.

WOO HOO!!! We have booked our flights and hotel to go to NYC!!! We are now going on the 9th September until the 16th because the weather will be warmer than at new year. When we went in 2007 and 2008 it was late September/early October and the weather was fantastic so fingers crossed it will be third time lucky! 91 sleeps…

We have booked our hotel in New York for new year! Not totally sure if we are actually going to go yet but the hotel was getting very full so we thought we should at least book that. It was either go for Christmas or new year and I find being away at Christmas a bit strange. We are definately going back again to the big old city that we have fallen in love with, it just depends when…
