Over the past few weeks I have continued with every one of my personal projects – 4 and counting – and I have been spending my days in the library. Throughout this busy period, my motivation to create new and exciting posts for this blog, and others, has been ebbing and flowing with the variation of the fall time weather – rain, sun, hail, overcast… The list goes on.
Despite the weather, I have taken to exploring my city using the trains and it’s amazing how much I have seen whilst crisscrossing through the neighborhoods I have never been; New shops, new bars, new roads, people and artwork.
The shops I have found have been beneficial to all of the senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch. Places like The Shop on Grand street which presents a variety of vintage, second-hand and even retro clothes, as well as a few items of jewelry – a perfect place to pick up small gifts for people who are happy with pre-loved pieces.
Another great find was The Thrift shop, right off Broadway in Soho at the same time ran into a famous photographer named Johnny Rozsa of http://www.johnnyrozsa.com/ who volunteer to work at Thrift shop only on Fridays. It was a great experience
