Squirrely Squirrels

Last weekend we ventured far, far away to the New York Botanical Garden and discovered not only the pleasures of the gardens themselves but also their wonderful little gift shop. We pick up these fabulous 3D animul cards! Can't wait to send one off to our squirrel loving Aunt!!

Things We Love: Sailor Chic

This week is Fleet Week. New York welcomes our sailors to dry land and reminds all of us that the sailor look never is old or dated.

We're tired of all this rain that we've been having in New York. But, it might ok if you get to sport these great Bata rain boots (childern size 11) from the 1950s. They're sooo much cooler then your standard Wellington, we love how they buckle on the top! Buy them now for $31.20.
