a.b.k.

I've been on a constant search to find the perfect leather bag for a while. A nice thick back pack without drawstrings or zippers, or even just a simple roomy shoulder bag... Beautiful all-leather bags that aren't too fussy or over designed are hard to come by - vintage or new. And then I saw this post about a.b.k. over at We Could Grow Up Together and I was instantly charmed by the elfkin like shoes and her simple leather goods.
I'm sending my wish to the universe that I can some day own one of her pieces.

Lomo adventures, pt. 10 - NYC

Today is my last day in Massachusetts... I thought being here for two weeks would mean plenty of time to do everything and see everyone but - there's so much left ... and the packing. Oohh I don't even want to think of the packing.

Here are some photos from a little two day jaunt to New York. Perfect weather. Perfect company. I was terrible about remembering to take photos though..

Pastis

I can't possibly express my love for Pastis in words, so I won't even try... but - believe me, it's markings are pretty high in my book!

I don't have very many photos, it's always too crowded in there to take more then a few sneak attack shots - but here is a little bit of an idea just how dreamy this place is!

Lafayette House photos

I added a whole slew of photos from the Lafayette House to my flickr. I was going to do a blog post but my eyes are sleepy and I can't focus correctly!

Lafayette House

Right now I'm in New York City laying on the most comfortable bed in existence with a Henry Darger drawing hanging above my head! I'd say this is the perfect way to spend one's last day of being 21!

Lafayette House is the most perfect hotel I've ever been too (sorry Copley Fairmont, you've been bumped to second place) and I can't wait to share photos! But, right now we're leaving for dinner at Freeman's... I've been sneakily looking at pictures of the restaurant on-line and all I have to say is: taxidermy!! eeee! I can't wait!

P.S. as I was typing this post I looked up and realized how high the ceilings are in here... I just couldn't help myself!
