from new york to london

so as I'm sure your bored stupid by now of my new york tales, after all i was only there for one and a quarter day... but I'm just finishing off by showing the few things i did buy, well i got these two cushions/pillows from crate and barrel, who were having quite a lovely sale, the blue ikat style one was only $12.00 with the feather insert included.. and the little striped one was reduced from $25.00 to only $4.00..how could i leave without them ?.. the glass hand in front of them, i got from urban outfitters.. it was one of the only things in the shop i did like..and also from crate and barrel i fond these cotton napkins that I'm going to make into more cushions/pillows, i think it must be an American thing, because the choice was just bonkers, i really think people in England just wipe their mouths on the tablecloth..or in my case my sleeve ? i wouldn't know where to go for napkins ?...
and that's about it, we did get some sweets from Dylan's candy bar, but they didn't last long enough for a picture to be taken. and David did design and make his own Muppet in fao schwarz, that was stupidly expensive,..good pictures here of the whatnot workshop where yo do it. between me and you i don't think he really liked it after it was made..but it was too late, and its never been out of its bag since we got It home... and I'm now getting excited by my next holiday, but its a whole 5 months away, how will i cope....

you could cope a little bit by making those scrummy napkins into scrummier cushions! WOw! My napkins are all either vintage or homemade; we English do paper napkins in a big way but I think we're too lazy to wash the real ones every day - we bring our out at Christmas! Much better as cushions! t.x
