This Week In Pictures

Being that I have been incredibly busy this past week, I don't really have anything remarkable to share.  My fella and I did get to go to the Merchant House Museum today, which I absolutely loved! It's a house on 4th street in Noho that was owned by the same family from 1830 to 1933. When the last family member died, the city turned it into a small museum where visitors get a chance to see what upper middle class living in 19th century NYC was like. All the furniture and decor is original to the home (all mid to late 19th century) and almost everything in the house comes with it's own history and back story (via a small book that is given to everyone who enters). Unfortunately, photographs were not allowed inside the house (BOO!!) but I was able to snap a quick photo in the courtyard outside.

In other news, the winter weather has allowed me start wearing my "new" 1940s winter boots! I had searched for a pair just like this for about 2 years when I found these babies in Fraulein Caroline's Etsy shop. I almost cried when I saw them in my size and price range! In fact, I think I may have actually teared up a little. They are the perfect winter boots - they keep my toes warm and are absolutely beautiful. Definitely one of my best purchases ever!

 

And last but certainly not least, here are some pictures of my cat eating... because who doesn't want to see pictures of my cat eating? Her name is Valentina.

 Here she eats her own food.

And here she tries to eat my food.

That's all Folks!
