Handbag Awards
These are photos from the Handbag Award show. On the left is my bag, with all the other handmade finalists. The bottom right is a photo of Debbie Stoller (Stitch n' Bitch, Bust) presenting the award for the Best Handmade Handbag category.
I love New York, and all its craziness, but I could never live there. You have to fight for everything: parking spaces, food, seats, road, bathrooms... THERE IS NOWHERE TO PEE IN MANHATTAN. I came back to Ohio appreciating very basic things, like the grass in my front yard, parking spaces, the freedom to buy a backyard pool, or have a barbecue. What if you want to go to a pumpkin patch in the fall? Or pick your own strawberries?
I was beyond impressed with New York, despite my homesickness. It's a marvel of American ambition, for sure. Just don't drink too much while you're out and about, because as I mentioned, there is nowhere to pee.
