It’s a Trifecta kind of weekend in NYC: Halloween, the Marathon and the time change! Plus, we have a couple of markets outdoor markets coming to a close for the season, and our first holiday market opening! More reasons to love autumn in New York.
Have a great weekend, and check out the amazing embroidered skull by my friends at Harp & Thistle Stitchery. James actually met them before I did and thought their work was fabulous. I could not agree more! So I’ll be sharing more pictures of their work this coming week, but enjoy this killer sneak preview!
