I've already written about my wonderful summer, but I want to hone in on one weekend in particular that was just super-fun-awesome-amazing-excellent! We spent the Independence Day weekend in New York City visiting friends, checking out Coney Island while it still hosts Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, singing karaoke, shopping, and eating. It was a perfect weekend.
There were many highlights to the weekend, but one of those highlights was getting to pose for this photo with Crazy Legs Conti. It guess it helped that my buddy, Tim, used to live with Crazy Legs many years ago, but I think he might have posed with anyone.
Another spectacular part of the weekend was the day spent with these lovely ladies. The beautiful Jenny hosted a day completely filled with the exploration of the best bakeries and paper stores in lower Manhattan. I could not have asked for a more perfect day. It's always refreshing to have a girls' day, and I was so inspired by everything we saw, tasted, and did that day. I tried to capture it in a card the next time I was in the studio and this is what happened:
The flower stamp on the front of the card, and the kitty stamp on the inside were both treasures found during that adventurous day.
