This past week-end, I had the pleasure of joining my husband in New York where he had been for over a week on business. The weather was just perfect for those long walks exploring this lively and vibrant city. First stop was the utterly inspiring St. Patrick's Cathedral....








It's majestic beauty reminded me of my trip to Italy....



...the architecture was so divine...







~Our Lady Of Guadeloupe~



~St. Therese of Lisieux~






~St. Rose of Lima~


Angels watching over everyone....
















We lit candles to remember beloved family members who are now angels watching over US.

Next stop was The Tinsel Trading Company!
I arrived early and had to stand outside until they opened their doors but it was so worth the wait!


There were walls and walls of vintage trims.....

...millinery flowers....


...ribbon spools...



French "Moire"


...and signs of Spring wherever one looked...












...lots of sparkle...


...and glitter....


...and boxes full of the most delightful vintage destash ever!





If you're ever in N.Y. , The Tinsel Trading Company is a MUST SEE! They are located at W37th and 5th Ave. You can read more about their delightful story here: "Tinsel Trading Company."

Next stop was The 9-11 Memorial at Ground Zero.
These memorial pools were built over the footprints of The North and South Towers. 

Around the pools are the names of all those souls whose lives were so tragically cut short on September 11th. The air was heavy with the sadness of what happened on that horrific day.

And no trip to The Big Apple would be complete without going to Macy's ....

...and looking up at the beautiful Empire State building!



Tomorrow I am off to Cape Cod with my hubby to celebrate my Birthday!
Adieu mes amies! 
I will visit with you all when I return!
