Bye Bye Brooklyn

Waiting for the movers to arrive. Sad to be leaving Brooklyn but excited about what's next.

A nice stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge

Beautiful morning here in Brooklyn. Started the day with a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. Clara was less enthusiastic than I was.

Less than a week left in NY

Cannot believe that I have less than a week left in New York!! The movers are coming this Sunday, so I'm running around like a crazy person trying to squeeze in everything 'one more time' before I head out for Austin. Today was a very productive day.

Started at Cotton, Inc. to speak to them about fabric sourcing and 2009 color forecasts. It will be interesting to see if any of the colors feel inspiring to me as I work on additional designs.


From there I went to the Neue Galleries to say goodbye to my favorite Klimt and see the jewelry exhibit. Followed that with a long stroll through Central Park and the upper East side.

It's been so hard to say goodbye to everyone! Rick threw me a lovely going away dinner (Thanks for the Brazilian Shrimp Stew recipe Rick. It won't be the same when I make it. The company is always part of what makes it so delicious!)

And it was so great to see the whole team from Ogilvy last week. I will miss all of you little chickens. Please come visit Austin.

And Renee and William had a glorious, delicious dinner for me in their beautiful garden. I still have no idea how you ever leave that paradise each day.

Thanks again to everyone for all the love and support. It's time to get back on the phone and continue discussions with printers. Stay tuned...

Random stuff you stumble across in NY

At lunch time yesterday... Since it's my last week of work and there's not much to do, maybe I'll even (gasp) leave the building! Look, it's the Major League Baseball All Star parade. Right outside! That's one of the greatest things about NYC. You can literally walk right into an event that you had no idea was happening. I will miss this city!

Radio City is right across from my office

NYC at night

Rockin the River Cruise last week with Meghan. It's a boat that has live music, drinks and it cruises the Hudson. The weather was perfect and the company was great. What a way to start saying goodbye to the city. Lady liberty looks lovely, doesn't she?


I'll be posting pics of some of my favorite things about the city over the next 2 weeks before we head out. Perhaps I'll even master the night setting on my camera. Hope you enjoy!
