Jim and I had been wanting a trip to NYC so when the Tales of the Traveling Tote girls decided to meet there I knew it was the perfect time for a getaway. Meeting these blogging friends and husbands for the first time was so much fun and seeing Sarah again is always great. Jenna from The Painted Apron and Rita from Panoply couldn't make this trip and were sorely missed.

A wonderful time we all enjoyed! Saying goodby until next time
Autumn is a delightful time to be in the city!

Thanks for your visit. I appreciate each and everyone of you and enjoy knowing you stopped by. I hope you will leave a comment so I know you were here.
Oh Emily, what wonderful photos! Too much fun! Love all the creative shots, our totes are shining stars!! I think MKC should fund the next trip!!

What a glorious time! Fun to see several of my blog buddies getting together and living it up in the Big Apple! It looks like a glorious time and you all look so darned happy. But of course, you were! I wasn't surprised to see your visit to Mackenzie Childs but the cake and tea had to be the best and loved the photo of your team totes! Oh Emily, this is what blogging brings us -- not just a venue to share but a venue to make real life friends as well as virtual ones.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly was fun - I enjoyed meeting you and Jim and hope our paths cross again. Happy you got to enjoy a little bit of NY!!
ReplyDeleteOh what fun that looks and sounds like
ReplyDeleteLove those traveling totes and I would flip out in MacKenzie Child’s store
My next trip I must go there
I love New York City
Emily, I loved your perspective on the trip, and you look so wonderfully relaxed! Rockefeller Center photo is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing it all with me.
