Merry Christmas Eve

I cannot believe it is Christmas Eve! Where did the year go? 

A little about what has been going on with me this year. So I was assigned a special project at work, which has taken many of my free hours. I am very happy to be on the project, and it has gone well, but has not left much time for blogging. These posts take a while to compose, I need to find an easier way to get them up quicker! I plan to keep up the blog for 2019 and beyond, but probably not posting every day. I do post regularly on Instagram so be sure you are following me there, and on the blog Facebook page. There is still so much to show you in New York City and I am thrilled that you visit here and enjoy the features! 

On to some holiday photos, shall we :  

While in the city for my birthday in December, I stopped by Tisserie, next to the Park Central Hotel. A great spot for coffee and a pastry, or a quiche as I had below. I enjoyed a pumpkin latte which was to die for as well!  

Ornament shopping in the city is always fun, loved these Buddha designs  

Chestnuts roasting on the streets of NYC! My Mom loved making these during the holidays, and those you find in the city are pretty amazing. Look at the size of those !  

A wonderful gingerbread display in Williams Sonoma in Shops at Columbus Circle blew me away. It was of NYC of course, and Columbus Circle.  

Grom is my favorite gelato spot, even in the winter and for the holidays they had the flavor of Panettone, which tasted EXACT! So darn good.  

I stopped by the Holiday Shops at Columbus Circle, which had adorable baked items and free hot chocolate by Citi, which is always welcome during this time of year!  

Our favorite bakery, Breads, does their to die for Babka in pie form for the holidays. The smell alone puts a smile on your face. The MUST try in the city if you have never had for 2019!  

The lovely stars in the Shops at Columbus Circle always make me smile. I love the colors how they change, and it's gorgeous to see at night as well. 

I hope you and your family have a most wonderful Christmas Eve.

Lee's Art Shop at Christmas

Lee's Art Shop is located on West 57th Street, near 7th Avenue and is a MUST visit! I came across the place one day while walking on West 57th street. Even though it says it is an art shop, it has lots of other fabulous items, gift items and at Christmas, becomes so merry and bright! Let's take a peek inside.......

This Santa was in their window, and loved the idea of the jolly old guy with a glass of wine to relax! Too cute!

I actually have this Santa pitcher, and wanted to see if the mugs were available on their own, but I didn't have time. Time is so valuable in New York City. I really love these! 

Very sassy reindeer with the little Russian nesting dolls

An ornament always makes a great gift for someone, and when they place it on their tree each year, they will think fondly of the person who gave it to them. 

Yes, those are wine bottle ornaments on the tree. Love that Santa too! 

I am so in love with anything gingerbread! 

Some regular party items mixed in with the holiday, cute little beer mugs! 

So beautiful 

Cute selection here, and love the bottle brush tree. Almost bought it. 

I am a huge snowflake lover as well as you can keep them up all winter long. 

This tree and the one below just made me smile. I was so proud I did not purchase any of these amazing ornaments! It was very, very hard I must say. 

Lee's has a great selection of NYC ornaments, which make lovely gifts for family and friends. 

The soldiers from Radio City Music Hall were just too adorable!  

I love these type of ornaments, so unique and have such character. 

More of the food tree because I couldn't get enough of it!!

Nutcrackers are lots of fun as well, and this gold guy stole my heart. 

This vintage looking display with the bottle brush trees and old fashioned house is pure magic! 

This tree was in the window and it was spitting snow! I was quite enjoying it for sure. Such a cleaver idea indeed, not sure how the clean up would be having it in your home, but loads of fun! 

This is not a sponsored post as I shop in this store when in the city. They always have unique items, and if you are an artist, it is a really must visit. I hope you enjoyed this little shopping trip to Lee's Art Shop and that you will visit on your own when in the city. It is one of my faves!
