Afternoon in the city

Yesterday I spend a couple of hours in New York City. I had dropped my daughter off at a party and could not bring myself to simply return. So I walked two delicious hours at the Upper West Side, had coffee and an darling Italian donut from a tiny place called BOMBOLONI...
After being nourished I headed for the streets...


Found lovely French crockery....



Saw gorgeous dresses at various stores along the little stretch between 70th to 74th Street on Columbus Ave...



And then I hit the jackpot: The uptown JONATHAN ADLER store....






The store is not large but is packed with style, personality and wits...I could have moved right in!
The colors, the shapes, the pottery...







From his carpets and needlepoint pillows to the new plates, I adore his design aesthetics!
Check out some of his wall paper design:




15 years ago , when I did not know him at all and he had opened his first store in Soho, I had bought a lovely salad bowl, tea pot which are still in great shape and use. I have been following his enormous career ever since. He did so amazingly well for himself!
After this I felt my afternoon was complete and something else I found I will show you tomorrow. Enough for today! :)

Have a great day, you all!
