on the way to brooklyn

Renegade was truly awesome. We set up on Saturday and never ever caught our breath until the end of the day. Johanna and I never expected anything like it.

People stopped by and said hi…
Anne, who it was a total pleasure to meet, hope her long bird likes his new home
Another Ann, who actually has a connection to work, small small world
Patricia, she brought me some lovely treats and braved the city
Stella, who warned me about the overwhelmingness of it all (now I understand)

and it felt like millions of other people that stopped to smile and giggle at the penguins and covet Johanna's paintings. Tomorrow I'll post photos…and gather my breath!

The birds having breakfast at spoon.

Joe there in the back, then Sparky and Audrey.  Doesn't breakfast look better at Spoon!

Joe knows since he was a fat kid that the pastries are dangerious for him.

Lovely little Audrey by the fruit and granola (maybe I should have switched her and Joe)

Because I know how tempting those chedder chive scones are - I have one every morning. 

One of my favorite things about New York City are the fire escapes.  The are so lovely and interesting.  This fire escape at work is a little scary.  It is super long because it covers two windows, so the gap where the stairs are open is huge.  The long birds didn't seem to mind it.  The just looked lovely.I am sorry about the fast move.  My web guru is really amazing and very quick.  I have been thinking that I wanted a freestanding blog, so I hope you  find you way to my new home.Also for those of you that have asked, I will be selling any and all of the softies at Renegade in Brooklyn, but if you are interested in any of the birds that you have seen let me know because they are all one of a kind (I am working from very loose patterns!).  

On to the photos!

Sparky and Audrey telling the others, "its totally safe out here".

Everyone from left to right.  Peggy (with the quirly q), Joe (he used to be a fat kid), Audrey is a bit of a busy body, and Sparky the long bird that started it all.

Last shot as the go up the stairs.  

Here they are in the bag ready to head out the door.

Sparky outside the window of spoon…

Spoon is my most favorite place in the world for breakfast.
I love the people that work there…they make my day.
It is a ritual that even durning my poorest days I would allow myself that treat.
A cup of hot chocolate - perfect and not too sweet and a delicious buttery scone.

The long birds (so named until the Boy thinks of something more clever) and I did a photoshoot at Spoon…photos inside next week.
