Adrienne & Mimi in New York (SUPER picture heavy)

Adrienne & Mimi in New York (SUPER picture heavy)

I've been blogging since 2006/2007. This is THE longest post I've ever put up. Grab a cup of coffee/tea and have a good time lol

Mannn LISTEN let me tell y'all about the AMAZING time we had in New York this past week/weekend.

I was in New York this past April and I had a great time!

This trip was equally as awesome! I actually got to see NY and experience it and shop and eat and just yeah lol. Loved it.

Here's a video. It's 17 minutes of stuff so have a looksie and laugh lol

 

I will have to do a totally different post on all the fabric I purchased. Together we had 150 POUNDS of fabric. INSANE right!?

I lost my mind in there lol. I seriously want to go back before the year is out. We will see 😉

Ok, now for a TON of pictures lol

    I’m surprised Singlema didn’t tell you about Crumb or Goergetown Cupcake, both amazing. I’m glad you had fun in NYC. I’ve lived here all my life and there’s never a shortage of things to do, see, and taste.

  • Carla/ 12.08.2013Reply

  • patricia brown/ 12.08.2013Reply

    What a wonderful experience for you and Mimi! The first time in 6 or 7 years that you met, that is awesome. I could feel your pain on the delayed flight. I used to be a flight attendant and remembered the days of delayed flights! Bummer!! 150 lbs of fabric, that was some shopping.
