city sparkle, crafty magic

Being in the city on Saturday was so refreshing. It's easy to forget what that energy is like, a giant snowglobe of whirling activity. I had to rush from Grand Central to Tinsel Trading to set up for my class, but this is what I passed on the street.

 

And then at the store there was more sparkle and shine.

 

Inside it was cozy and festive where we sat around the big table and sewed felt ornaments. We had such a good time, cackling like Christmas hens and left with warm holiday hugs, feeling the kinship of new and old friends. Off to the next great adventure.....and another class TBA in January. xoC

My camera never seems to take pictures as nice as these. They are the eye candy I needed today after a whirlwind week ending in the class that rocked TT.
thanx again Charlotte.

What beautiful pictures of New York! I wish Tinsel Trading Co. was closer than 3,000 miles! I could have serious fun there. That is a great photo of you with your class. Cheers.

A dream of mine is to visit Tinsel Trading. I'll have to allow myself the whole day, I'm thinking! Oh, and the Christmas windows of NYC are so pretty, especially the golden one. Happy Christmas to you!

[carolyn]

Well you Chritmas hens sure do look happy, love all the Christmas windows thanks for taking the time to photograph them for us Charlotte.

[Mrs.Staggs]

There's no place quite like NYC during the Christmas season! I love it this time of year.
From the smiles on everyone's faces, it looks like a lovely time was had by all.
Best wishes to you Charlotte!

[nwnonna]

I remember being a child and having my "special" holiday coat. I felt so different wearing it during the holidays. *sigh*

[alyssa]

How lovely! The city snapshots are wonderful, as are those little birds. For someone who grew up far from cities and snow, they certainly do give me a sense of Christmas cheer.

Thanks for the beautiful Westmoreland kit, Charlotte - finally got to open it today. Complete adoration. :)

[Colleen Gallagher]

My daughter lives in NYC, so you better believe Tinsel Trading Co. was at the top of my list the two times I have visited her! Your photos of the city at Christmas are so lovely. Thank you for stopping by my blog tonight and leaving your kind comments. I am always so amazed at how quickly we can connect with other artists all over the world via the internet. I look forward to receiving your beautiful cards.
Stay warm and Happy Holidays!

Oh, what fun! I've never been to Tinsel Trading so it's on my list the next time we're in the city. Which I hope will be soon. There's nothing like New York at Christmas time.

[Marcia]

A great time was had by all. Thanks for a great class and sharing your amazing talents with us! Looking forward to the next one.
