Electric Fountain

With the weather in the 50s when I left work today I decided to walk home. I walked through Rock Plaza and saw the Electric Fountain. It's on display for a limited time.

Chandelier

I've been talking about wanting a chandelier for awhile, but not wanting to go buy one. I've been looking in thrift stores with no luck. Beth got me six chandelier crystals for Christmas and Kristen recently sent my some pictures of some chandeliers that looked easier to make. So a few Saturdays ago I set out to find something to create mine with. I don't know if I wasn't feeling very creative or there really was nothing at Home Depot, but I left there deflated. I googled craft stores on my phone (having not seen a Hobby Lobby, JoAnns, nor Michaels since I moved here) and found "Lee's Art Shop Inc" which was actually a large store, but I soon found out that only the entry level had supplies the other levels had furniture and lighting. I found jewlery wire and thought I could make something with it. When I got home I scouraged through my supplies and found some beads that I had left over from other projects. This is what I came up with. I haven't decided if I am going to take it apart and start over, add to it or leave it be. So please help me with my decision by voting in the poll on the side!

What was this homeowner thinking?

The Bow Bridge

Today the bright sun was a little deceiving as the temperature was still quite cool. I took advantage of the clear sky and took a walk through Central Park. I most recently saw this bridge in the movie PS I Love You and decided I needed to find it today. The Bow Bridge apparently is one of the most photographed spots in Central Park. It is made out of cast iron while most bridges in the park are stone.

Ola Mae in Manhattan

A store in NYC contacted Kristen wanting to sell her underwear. I went in undercover to see if it was there... Needless to say my covert phone camera taking skills aren't very good, but as you can see in the top photo Ola Mae's underwear was there for sale.

John's Pizzeria

One of my favorite pizza places is John 's Pizza. I guess there are three locations around town, but the only one i have been to is in the Theater District on 44th b/w broadway & 8th. This location is in what used to be a church. We sat in the balcony in the corner (we figured they thought we were celebrities and wanted to be left alone (which celebrities you ask? Uma Thurman and Jennifer Connelly)). We ate so fast that there was only one piece left when I had the idea to take a picture. The other is a pic from our table towards the giant mural of Manhattan that covers one of the walls.
