~to be endeared {to a thing},

tired days ~ feeling a little under the weather, 

embroidering medallions, 

etching on paper,

& a treasure trove of sketchbooks from New York Central Art Supplies.. .

still so many shops I've yet to get to,

always getting there just when 

everything closes :(       to name a few;

Tinsel Trading, Hyman Hendler{the ribbons Mary!}, Steinlauf & Stoller, Sposabella Lace, 

Purl Soho.. .

not to mention stroll Central Park {the zoo too!}.. .scale the Rockerfella Center {to view the Empire State Building lol}.. .sail across to Lady Liberty.. .

& generally walk the streets breathing in {& photo-ing} the magnificent workmanship still standing{precious days of yore.. .the legacy we each must leave.. .& really, every time i see the gorgeous stonework stories up, i am in awe of the meticulous & thoughtful time those of old took to create it, & hope to create precious days of my own, 

building hearts,

perpetuating goodness,

endeavouring on.. .}!
