yesterday was for…

doing favorite things!
you see, for me yesterday was a monumental birthday-of-sorts.

?eating giant (and totally yum) red velvet cupcakes from Crumbs.

? sitting in trees in Central Park

?eating a scrumptious lunch at my favorite veg restaurant, Candle Cafe. I had a yummy pumpkin-encrusted tofu dish with kale. Everything I’ve ever had there is so good, completely veg and so creative. And the whole place smells like wheatgrass!

?shopping for teapots at Pearl River. I will forever love that store, although I miss the old version from my college days, down on Canal Street.

?and crazy color giant bead shopping! I ended up buying an earthy green necklace made of wooden beads.

So it was a beautiful day (although I had to substitute my tights for jeans…a bit gray and chilly). But left inspired by vivid, juicy color!
Happy Earth day too!!

Ohhh, I love going to the beach, too. It find it amazing, the differences among the shells found on the beaches between NJ, NY and CT. We often go to Sandy Hook in NJ and there I’ve picked up swirly shells like you are showing here, and also blue mussel shells. During a trip up to CT a few years ago, we found thousands of pink shells on the beaches. Anyhow, it looks like you had a fantastic day at the beach. :)

Ack! I just commented on the wrong post! Ah well… Pearl River rocks, doesn’t it?! I’m looking forward to going there next week. Have you ever been to the John Derian shop on 2nd Ave, just east of Bowery? I think you’ll really like that shop.
