New York Times

So aside from eating, snapping and walking in the winds, squeezed in a touch of thrift browsing in the NYC. Managed to visit a whole two stores returning to the home front with subsequent grand total of TWO items!! ...Though guess a pretty high success rate upon reflection! First place was over in Brooklyn and literally has all you could ever want to furnish a pad for approx. 50 dollars!
Anyway, stumbled across a lil vintage book amongst the shelves with the prettiest pic and such a cute spine...called 'Our Bessie' and about a girl hailing from England from what i can gather from the ageing pages. Already own a couple of others that have a similar look, hardbacks with lovely illustrations and art nouveau feel to them, generally dating from the 1920's.

Me in my second thrifty find a red silk shirt, has the cutest pleat detailing and weeny buttons... getting ready for festive times!


Did get slight envy en-route to the airport when I clocked a bumper sticker that read:
"A proud parent to a honours student blahblah(memory fail!)-high school '10"

Took me a few reads of the sticker AND the driver to ascertain whether both were genuine and being that I was in America...established that this was for real!! Doubt this is something one would come across in an average thrift shoppe though! Then again...!
Maybe the '07 ones may have a special bargain box somewhere by now!
