not even thanksgiving yet, i know, and i can see that its beginning to look, well i wouldn't say "a lot like", but maybe "a little like christmas". i'm really not jumping ahead. i promise. i'm not one to start rushing through the thanksgiving holiday — its always been one of my favorites, just food & family — but i just know how soon the urge to start the season's handmade creations can kick in. so in preparation, i started stocking up on a few fabrics...
or should i just say a few plaids (and one non-plaid). yesterday, i headed out to some stores in midtown, specifically in search of some quality, merry, stripey goodness. it pretty much only took a couple of stops to find all that i was looking for... i found the two soft flannels at b+j and the two wools at mood.
with my mission to stock up on plaids complete, i took a bit of extra time to wander around a bit. and you know, there were plenty of signs there too that winter and it's holidays are just around the corner — and up above... looking up i caught a glimpse of the glass globe getting prepped for new year's eve!! yeah, thinking about 2010, that's a bit rushing ahead for me. so, i snapped a photo of the calm, mid-day, non-countdown, illuminated moment and carried on... just picked up my stride and kept heading toward the subway... with yards of warm plaid in tow of course.
