Hey Creative Friends! 

Florence here again! I just returned from New York and couldn't wait to document some of it. This is Adventure #9/32 of my adventure goals that I started since turning 32. Feel free to check out my first blog post I go over the insert I created. I feel like traveling is such an amazing way to tell your story. You are able to create experiences, some planned, while others are spontaneous. I love the unplanned moments as they make some of the sweeties memories. 

Day Two of NYC- it was a rainy and gloomy day. My friend Jamie and I had tickets to do a cruise of the NYC harbor. It was the only free day her and I had together, and I figured, let's still go. It started with me going to my favorite dumpling spot in China Town, and I accidentally took the express train into Brooklyn. I know rookie move. 

Even though the weather wasn't on our side, don't let water rain on your parade. Literally lol. Normally I would be the person to say no let's do something else. But I was able to learn about NYC history and see iconic buildings and structures.

We then decided to go to go to a few stationery stores. I LOVE stationery stores! They have the cutest things, and sometimes you can get lucky and score some local trinkets. First stop was walking distance from the Harbor called Browne Stone Stationers. If you're ever in the NYC area I highly suggest going!! We found so much NYC goodies. There's something about a stationery store that just makes me happy inside. One- because they're so very rare, and two- my love for stickers and stationery started at a really really young age (3 years old). Next stop was Casey Rubber Stamps. If you love rubber stamps, this is a MUST!! Lastly we went to Pink Olive. Which was such a cute shop.

I am truly thankful for the planner community and love all of the friends I have made because of it. I suggest if you can save up to attend an event local or afar- to check it out. You truly never know when you'll meet your next best friend :) Thanks for taking the time to read a part of my story. Until the next adventure!!
