i heart new york

I had a wonderful time in New York last week at NYIGF. One of the highlights was hanging out in the lobby of the ACE Hotel, sipping St. Germaine & sodas with an old friend whom I had met on the gift show circuit several years ago. In this economy, when so many people are either out of work or stuck in jobs they hate, I feel SO SO SO lucky to be doing something I love for a living, and to be surrounded by so many other "creatives." It was wonderful to catch up with my friend, who is also doing something uber creative (she helps design the window displays at Anthro. Swoon).

Next time you're in New York do yourself a favor and check out the ACE Hotel. I don't really want to spoil it, so I won't go into much detail here, but it was cool, artsy and unpretentious.  Not an easy combo to pull off.

LOVE, love, love the Ace! The ones in Portland and (the original) in Seattle are great as well!

I saw the words "Anthro" & "New York" & was hooked on reading-I'll have to check this place out when I go to NYC Next.... !
