5 things...


1.  So, I am kind of obsessed with bread tabs :)  I somehow find them very aesthetically pleasing and I have been collecting them for awhile now.  It was cool to find that I wasn't the only crazy one out there collecting plastic bread tabs. 
So if you want to start saving yours and then send them my way, I would be very much appreciative :)

2.  Mike Perry has notebooks in the school supply section at Target! I am very excited about this.

3.  Next weekend we are having an open house for our condo and I am crossing every finger I have that someone wants to buy it.  I just want a house, like yesterday.

4.  I am going to Massachusetts in about three weeks with a day trip to NYC.  I have been all over the place in my life but I have never been to New York City.  What are some things that I MUST see while I am there??  We are going to see Wicked on Broadway but that is our only scheduled thing so far.  I am so excited!!

5.  I love having a blog.  I know that I sound like a broken record but seriously, I am so thankful for all of the people who I have met (online and in person) through this blog.  You all are amazing.  It blows me away.  Your comments and emails seriously mean so much to me.  So again, thank you :)

I have been working outside all day and I am bushed!  So now I am off to draw in my new Mike Perry notebook, read some Sherlock Holmes, and then...to bed.
night loves.

  1. I wanted to see Wicked SO bad, but didn't get the chance - had to see Chicago instead. But it was still good!
    My favorite thing in NYC was probably Lombardi's Pizza... seriously, best ever. Get their reg cheese pizza, but with extra cheese!!

  2. Oh, and also the Alice in Wonderland statue in Central Park. It's pretty magical. But only because Robert Pattinson sat on it.

  3. Oooh fun! I love NYC! When I was there I went to Tinsel Trading Co. (http://www.tinseltrading.com/index.php). Martha Stewart called it her favorite store in the world. : ) And I also loved B&J Fabrics... if you can't hit up Mood (from Project Runway) then I think B&J is a close second. Hmmmm... I highly recommend Grays Papaya for a good old New York hot dog too.

    Thats all. Have fun!
    P.S. Your package is on its way. And there is a free gift so keep an eye out!

  4. You have to walk the newly opened part of the High Line. Great views and just a really cool experience. Also, try to win tickets for Shakespeare in the Park through the online drawing (since I guess you are not up for waiting from 6am to 1pm).
    The plays (measure for measure & All's well that ends well) are phenomenal!
    Mh, I#d have so many tips for you that just don't fit in here but a day is also not much for this city. Anyways, have fun!

  5. I'm going to NYC the 22nd for Kleinfield's dress shop and Chicago on broadway, my friend and I almost say wicked but we had seen it on tour and want to see chicago now!!!
    I hope you have fun!! And I agree with Haley on the statue but not because of Rob lol.

  7. Not sure if u already came to NY but here' are my thoughts. I am a born and bred new Yorker. I am from the bronx and the zoo and botanical gardens are among the best in the country. The zoo is free on wednesays. I have lived in brooklyn now for 4 years and if u r up for it u should walk across the brooklyn bridge. Great Birdseye view of it all. Bk bridge park in the DUMBO section of bk I love and the neighborhood is great for unique shops. If u are into skylines that the circle line cruise. It literally circles manhattan island and u see it ALL Including the statue of liberty. I have a ton more that isnt the typical touristy stuff so feel free to email me directly

    FYI wicked is the best show I have ever seen. In the heights is second. Saw wicked twice. Enjoy

  8. Hello Janel!
    Love your collection of bread tabs. They look so cute.
    I live in Holland and here the bread tabs are less special I think, but maybe I can send you a few in a letter.
    Maybe you like it to receive some from Holland?? :-)
    And p.s. I love your blog!
