A Lovely Day in NYC

Posted on | April 22, 2009 | 5 Comments

Today I had the pleasure of hanging out with Ysolda and Connie in NYC for a bit of button shopping. Our first stop was M&J Trimming where the never ending rows of trims boggle the mind and of course you can’t forget the buttons. Then it was onto uptown to the main attraction – Tender Buttons.

If you haven’t been to Tender Buttons and you live in the NYC area or are planning on visiting, it really is something you should not miss. They have a very nice collection of vintage buttons at fairly reasonable prices – at least not much of a difference from M&J. Connie and I resisted the urge to buy (barely), but Ysolda picked up some very nice finds. I’m sure Connie and I will be back to purchase soon, our saving grace was we didn’t have any sweaters or yarn to color match.

Next, after wandering around for awhile trying to find an empty table at a coffee shop that wasn’t Starbucks, we met up with Veronique who joined us for dinner in Union Square. We didn’t get much knitting time in, but we did have a lovely chat and it was nice to just relax with friends.

Connie also gave me this very nice thank you gift today – a beautiful shawl pin from Designs by Romi. I have admired her pins for sometime, but never got around to purchasing one for myself. It will be perfect for my Desert Sun Shawl that is almost finished! Thanks Connie!
