Friday's almanac

Usually I do not write about particular products out there, but having seen so many things lately which inspired my imagination I thought to leave you this weekend with a few nice morsels from all kinds of places.

Just saw these pretty weekend bags in Oprah's magazine, I liked them so much, they are made fair trade and are beautifully handmade. Find more out about it here

As you might have known, I had visitors from Germany over the last ten days and therefore plenty of time to roam the neighborhoods including Manhattan.
Everytime I go it's a fiest for the eyes and I enjoy it so much.

Not far from us in Irvington,NY a pretty little town along the Hudson a brand new old fashioned ice cream parlor, 50' style!


An irresitable candy store in Tarrytown,NY


Walking in the East Village, Manhattan a beauty waiting to be rescued...


Gorgeous pics from the ABC store in Manhattan, NY












Lovely fabrics by Manual Canovas





A book I want to read soon: 'The Northern Clemency' by Philip Hensher.




I had fun giving you a little inside in my neighborhood places and things which caught my eye lately!
Have a great weekend!

  1. Hallo Victoria,
    vielen Dank für deine Liebe Kommentar! Mein Deutsch ist noch immer schrecklich aber ich versuche es. ;)
    Du muss deine Söhne ja furchtbar vermissen wenn die so weit von dir wohnen. Glücklich gibt es das Internet!
    Ich werde mich später im Wochenende mit eine Tasse Kaffee hinsetzen und dein Blog geniesen.
    Liebe Grüsse und wünsche Dir ein wunderschönes Wochenende, Jeannette

  4. The dilapidated building in Manhattan is amazing. I can visualize its previous grandeur. I hope someone with a full appreciationg for its potential will bring it back to life.
