Training for the Marine Corps Marathon and celebrating mine and my husband’s birthdays has caused me to be a little MIA from writing.  But I’m back and with some fun and new things in my pocket to report.

We had a friend in from Boston for the weekend to help us celebrate and his only wish (in addition to eating well  – which we had already planned for) was to have brunch and walk around the West Village. It had more than 10 years since he’s been and wanted to see how it had changed – if at all.

Walking along 4th street, I almost walked by the cutest little store called Considerosity that I had never seen before, surprisingly, because its been open for a good 2 years.

I don’t know about you, but I’m beginning to brain store gift ideas since the holiday season begins next week.  Considerosity should be on your list of go to places to peruse through for a special gift.  They sell crafty and classy artisanal goods including home goods, accessories, and handmade jewelry ($20 for both of the bracelets that I could not walk out of the store without) at all very reasonable prices.

Whether I need a gift or not, I will sure pop in the next time I’m in the neighborhood!
