new york heart



SNOW












WOOL







 SUBWAY












 WORK







WOOL. AGAIN.


















FOOD





HOME











 DANCE








CENTRAL PARK












SHOP










NIGHT







STREET














LOVE












FAMILY






our trip to nyc was so great. the best part was seeing our kids and the next best was the snow which fell for one night and one entire day. then there was the visit to habu textiles and always purl soho.  hannah and chuck took charge of my camera around the wool, and i am grateful, i love the photos and most especially of the men waiting, hee hee. in total there were seven hundred and ninety pictures not counting two rolls of film, taken. that makes this post seem sort of short then?   :)

i carried my (red) heart with me throughout the city, leaving it, at the end of our stay, in an apartment in brooklyn where really and truly, a part of me remains.

    Lori ann, I have tears because I know how much you miss your family when you went home, but you sure packed a lot of LOVE into that trip. Beautiful shots and I'm waiting to see what new projects you'll be knitting, XOXO

    Oh Lori, what a beautiful photo journey!!! I'm sitting here just feeling so good (after a crappy kind of day) smiling and thinking how wonderful the world is!! You are such a gorgeous family and look so happy together. Thank you so much for sharing just a few of your pics...... I think if you'd posted more I'd be bouncing and hollering with joy by the end!!!

    I can almost smell NYC in your pictures!
    What lovely stores, and a very familiar pose of the men of the family in a yarn store!! hehe
    My daughter is coming home for two!! whole months on wednesday, she lives in Stockholm Sweden so it is means a great deal to me to have her close for some time!
    She is also a photographer so hopefully my blog pictures will improve!
    take care

    i HEART all of your captures. Had to chuckle over the "Ever Thine, Ever Mine, Ever Ours". That quote from Beethoven's letter to his immortal beloved is special to my hubby and I. Ever thine is inscribed on my wedding band. I can tell you loved every minute of the city and your girl!

    oh i love this. i feel like i visited with you and it was great to do it through pictures, yours and your families. i liked the one of the men at purl waiting myself. hehe... how many times have i made my guys wait for me? i know these faces well. in half moon bay, ezra was already making plans at a yarn store we popped into with michael to meet me down the street at a bakery. he's learning young. i love the heart all around town - the snowy pictures are surreal - and i do say the pictures of all the LOVE couples warmed my heart. hannah is so pretty and her sweet love has such nice eyes. such a handsome couple and i dig their skinny jeans style. :)
