Hello Lovelies!
As promised in my last post--here are a few of the MANY MANY pictures my sister and I took while she was visiting me over the Thanksgiving holiday...
First--because I am such a farm-girl, we went to the large and lovely farmer's market downtown (really, you wouldn't think this was in the middle of New York City!)

Squash
...and more squash!
What could scream "Farmer's Market" more than a huge chicken display sign? Oh, believe you me, I was thinking of how to sneak it home! 
Lovely dried flowers and plants 
Mmmmm...piessss....
These guys were at a Christmas fair next door to the farmer's market. They were selling Swedish and Norwegian foods. The costumes were definitely a selling point!Then we went to Chelsea Market, which is a renovated historic warehouse (apparently selling many goods in the 30's and 40's), which is now home to some high end food and goods stores. It was wonderful!
Here is an amazing cake bakery! Love the little Sesame Street iced cupcakes at the top!
At the same shoppe were some gorgeous wedding cakes. We were in love with the one on the right, which LOOKED like a wedding dress! (Click to enlarge)
The inside of the warehouse is all exposed brick and structural magic. Here, my sister stands in front of a "fountain" that is made of an old, exposed pipe!

Check out this interesting bunch! Note the "turkey" on the right:

I loved this guys nosepiece:
And I really loved this hand carving and little lightbox next to it...
Other interesting carvings:
Just in case you get lost....
A pumpkin carving of a...pumpkin! Plus, the name of the organic produce store:
And, of course, in case you wanted to look it up:
(Hmmm...I wonder if they will give me free products in exchange for free publicity?! Ahh, well, a girl can dream, right?)Next up, a visit to the metropolitan museum and Times Square!
Oh Zan, I love it!!! Unfortunately, our farmers markets shut down in October, so we don't get all those wonderful fresh food year round. So lovely and you're so lucky to have something like that in your area.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend and enjoy!
xxoo,
Georgina
wow, makes me miss the city and all the wonderful eye candy, artists everywhere love the pumpkins
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your Thanksgiving
Karey
You're right I wouldn't have guessed that was downtown New York, what beautiful pictures. Nothing like some pumpkins, guards and squash to bring a little country into the city
ReplyDeleteHey Georgina! Aww, that is too bad about your farmer's market! Luckily, this one is open YEAR ROUND (even in cold weather!) but it definitely thins out from Dec to February!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kaerie! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving, too!
Cheri..how are you doing?? I really need to get back into ADO and check out my fellow friends! Ugg, if only there were more time!
It looks like you and your sister had a wonderful time together. Family during the holidays..isn't that what it's all about. Beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are magical. I want to go next time! ; )
ReplyDeleteLooks like so much fun! Wish we had something like that where I am, will have to come visit you!! :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool! What fun your Sister must have had on her visit.
ReplyDelete{You could've left me at bakery & I would've been VERY happy!}
Hello Friends!
ReplyDeleteOk, everyone is invited to my house! Seriously. But email a couple of days so I can clear out the clutter! :D
Jeanne, trust me, it was REALLY difficult to leave that bakery! Hopefully they will have wiped the drool stains from the window where we were gazing at all the tasty goodies!
The Chelsea Market was originally a Nabisco factory. Thanks for the tour, it's been a while since I've been there.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I didn't know it--strangely enough--there is old memorabilia of the facility up front, but nothing that denotes it was once Nabisco :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Zan for posting these pics! I've never been to NY city and I would so love to visit. Your pics are delightful and it looks like your time there with your sis was equally wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
This looks like so much fun - I think I need one of those viking hats! The bakery is to die for. My great grandfather came from Sweden and was a baker so this is all just perfect to me. Gotta go check out the rest of the photos!
