NY City's BEST!

...One more week to go before school begins again. Still working on my quilt... I had occasion to surf a New York City resource for vintage... Hmmmm.... Why not create a list of my favorite places in the City to keep handy on my blog (which I often click to for resources when I am out and about on a hunt). Places I have either been, or still want to go, to hunt for vintage details for my work, and well let's face it - for MYSELF! I admit it. I live for things that have a past....

Visited Bergdorf Goodman Christmas windows before the holidays, but never showed the images... (Nothing came out too good.) So here with a few of my favorite links are perhaps my best images from the windows in case you missed them. The theme was travel....

Some Reviews:

"As long as "little" is the operative word of the day, the Little Bookroom covers its bases with two types of New York shopping guides. Travelers with a casual interest in shopping might enjoy "The Curious Shopper's Guide to New York City" by Pamela Keech ($12.95; 352 pages). By culling each neighborhood's best offerings and leaving out the rest, it makes room for some enlightening background along with the meaty details, glossy photos and buying tips that shoppers live by." 

-The San Francisco Chronicle

"A gem of a book no bigger than a knish." --The Boston Globe

"A lovely gem of a book, The Curious Shopper's Guide presents Manhattan in its entire specialty-shopping glory. Need kitchenware? Go to the Bowery. Need underwear? The Lower East Side. It's 47th Street for a day or afternoon exploring the Diamond District. Keech (The Civilized Shopper's Guide to Rome) details each shopping area, showing how to walk it and including select restaurant suggestions to complement the excursion. A welcome addition to libraries..." --Library Journal

"The Curious Shopper's Guide to New York City is a chunky little book that a rapid shopper in New York City can slip into a purse and wield as a secret weapon. Some of the best shopping in the world can be found in the Big Apple."--Pittsburgh Tribune
