We had a great time in New York--just a bit cold, though. Last summer when we went, it was just a "bit" hot--we really need to go when the temperatures are a little better. Well, at least it didn't rain : ) So let me show you a few places that we went to--
We took a walk on the Brooklyn Bridge, and while we were there we had the BEST pizza at Grimaldi's--a very popular pizza shop there. And we also went to the Brooklyn Museum of Art--
Saw the Dakota where John Lennon lived
And right across the street--Central Park West--
If I lived here, I'd be here everyday--I loved this park, and obviously do does this little guy--
We kept busy and saw some great art everywhere we went!
Mosaic tile floor at the Waldorf Astoria
The ceiling at St. Patrick's cathedral
Anthropologie's great window display---Okay--I'm saving my pennies--I'm shopping here next time I visit New York--LOVED!!! this store!!
Only in New York City in 45 degree temps will you see this : )
Another fun time at the David Letterman show, and we also some other familiar faces--
Kiefer and Chris Noth! We saw them on the last night just before we went back to our motel--that was fun!
And I have more photos at my Facebook page.
And I want to tell you about the giveaway that Tina Kirk is having. I just met her a couple of months ago--WOW--what an excellent artist!!Please-- Everyone go and visit her blog--what wonderful art she creates! And her giveaway is here
She's giving away 6 postcards of her art, and here is just a sampling of them--
Don' t you just love??!!
And one more thing--Thank You Natasha May for adding me to your Etsy treasury that everyone can see HERE. Thank You so much!!

Great pictures! New York looks such an exciting place to visit! My brother and sister in law live there normally but have been living here for the past year but are going back. They miss it too much!
I enjoyed this a lot, youar travel talks are so skilled.
I also enjoyed your tutorial. I didn't get there to tell you but it was very educational. I could make those little tiles and put them in pockets in my quilt journals. So much fun.
Wishing you a very spring like day.
Great pics, Diane!! Central Park is my favorite place when I visit NY. looks like you had a great time!
xoxo
Wow, what a great week Diane!! I love all the pics! I also love that you saw a few celeb's(O: Very cool!!!
Ahhhh, you are making me want to go back to NYC. Claudine Hellmuth is doing a workshop this weekend for the Ink Pad. Man on man, NYC is calling me!
How exciting Diane. Great photos and love that you saw the Dakota and I think you said you saw some of Diego's work too? Thanks so much for sharing, it was fun.
Wow! NYC!!! I loved it all vicariously through your photos glad there were so many and all good! That naked cowboy has to be covered in some kind of fat layered gel hiding his goose bumps at least! LOL
Did you even notice the song? ROTFLOL
Thanks for sharing.
Wow Diane, I am sooooo jealous, I love Kiefer, he's such a sweetheart :o)
It looks like you had a fabulous time in NY! Great pictures! xoxo
You made the most of your time. Yeah! So glad you enjoyed yourself.

Great photos and post Dianne. I would love to see New York, ah maybe one day.....
Looks like you had a fun trip to NY! I scrolled down and saw that I have been missing some of your posts. I especially love the "She Art" you have created-the garden angel in particular. I will have to sign up for the class in April. It looks like such fun.
Now I'm saving my pennies for a trip to New York! Loved the pictures and the tour. Thanks for sharing. Great post.
Looks like you had a great time in NYC. & seeing two of my favorite aka bad boys! Have a wonderful week. ~Theresa
I keep showing up late, but those NYC photos just brought so many memories back into focus. I agree that MoMA is probably the better museum over the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Something I DID enjoy more in Brooklyn were the cemeteries. They were superb.
I can tell you had a lot of fun and Anthropologie's window must have been a treat. I really loved your photo of the ceiling at St. Patrick's Cathedral. And of course I LOVE Chris Noth, so that was the icing for me. I'm so glad you had a good time, dear friend. I'm in total awe of your trip.
Thanks for sharing those beautiful photos Diane, looks like you had a great time!
What an exciting trip - WOW! I gasped when I saw that Anthro window. I was at the thrift yesterday and they had dozens of packages of all kinds of little wooden spindles and what-nots and I kept turning them over and looking at them and finally thought well what would I do with those anyway and I LEFT them. It is my punishment for falling behind on my blog reading!!
One day I'll make it to NYC...one day...
I love all the photos! Glad you had a nice time... and had celebrity sightings!! Yay!
And just so you know... Anthropologie has a website ...I know, not the same as being in one of those amazing stores... but just in case of emergencies... check them out online! Very dangerous to the pocketbook though! ; )
xoE
Oh wow, what an incredible trip!!! This is amazing!
And congratulations on being in the treasury!!
XO
I just love your post!!!!
I just love NYC....it's may favorite place to see !!
I just love your blog!!

Wow! What a blast in NY! The pizza alone has me drooling! Of course, art and celebrities are nice, too...haha!!
Thank you for sharing your great photos Diane. I think my favourite was of the Alice in Wonderland scultural piece. How amazing is that.
And to see Chris Noth - Yummy!!
All looks fabulous and you captured so many wonderful images D! Looks like good times and lots of inspiration. Congrats on your treasury and will be sure to check out the giveaway...love her work too. Welcome home and look forward to your next piece!
