NYC...part 1

Apart from eating out, drinking most nights and generally hitting the shops, holidays are the one time that I buy quite a few cards (the cost adds up after a while so unfortunately its not a daily occurrence when I'm at home) so I am very excited about my upcoming trip to San Francisco- I have high stationery hopes and a list of shops to hit...more to follow on my return!

I have been once before but not for several years. We had a great list of shops and places to go from a friend of a friend but I was over the moon to accidentally stumble across Greenwich Letterpress which left my purse some $50 lighter. Here are some of the bits I got...
