a long winter’s day
hi guys! hope you’re cozy this wintery night! in nyc it started as a morning wonderland but as the day wore on it proved to be everything but. i have no idea how i was able to take harsh ny winters for so many years.
but, today i had a mission and by god i was gonna conquer it. i was determined to see some store windows and had a feeling bergdorf’s would inspire a little holiday spirit. when i got there i was drenched and bitter and cold but it was so worth it!
i’ll keep adding them over the evening so check back cause there are like 10!

you poor dear : (
you take such great shots!
It did turn into such a nasty afternoon, the freezing rain was so biting on my cheeks. Burr! The morning was a wonderland though.
Have a nice glass of wine & Happy Birthday to that man of yours!!!

Yep- siiting home after a trecherous drive watching the snow continue to fall- think it may be 14 inches when it finally done. Had to cancel dinner plans with my honey that I have been looking forward to for 2 weeks. Talk about bummer!
Your windows cheered me up though- love the one with the waterfall in the background.
warm hugs

Thank you! I went to see the windows and brought my camera but my photos did not come out nearly as nice as yours. I linked to your blog from my blog, I hope you are okay with that. I am brand new to the blogging world and still learning the etiquette.
I own your book and have been reading your blog for ages. Thank you for many many months/years of inspiration!!
