The view of New York City at 7am this morning…! (above)

Helloooooooo….am in the city! Took the red-eye in…why I do this to myself I do not know. When I got out of the airport to take a taxi, I cried. I cried inadvertently actually. It is soooooooo cold here that tears just started pouring out my eyes. I am a true California girl.

I crossed over into Manhattan at about 7am after landing at JFK. Made my way to best friend AM’s house where I am staying. AM called me in the taxi and I told her how cold it was, she responded “I wondered how long it would take you to start talking about the cold. I estimated 20 seconds and I was right” (AM is from the North East, I am from California…ever since our college days, she has known that I am perpetually cold…she is the type who wears open toe shoes and sleeveless tops in the dead of an east coast winter. Yin and yang I suppose!). So, when I arrived to AM’s lovely Soho apartment, I met her adorable daughter LE who is just 3 months old and who is DARLING, danced with her cute 2 year old son JE Jr. for about half an hour, chatted with AM for about an hour before she left for work, and then rounded out the morning with a nice chat with AM’s husband JE.

I have a full day ahead of me…going to stop off at the New York International Gift Fair to see what I can see in textiles today. Don’t know where the textiles portion of the fair is…so have to figure that out…hmmm…note to self…before leaving find out address…
