It's been a while since I have been in this space...but I want to say a big THANK YOU. Your comments and emails provided me with such comfort during this difficult time. You brought me hope at a time when I had none. I can't tell you how heartwarming each and every comment was to read.
Unfortunately, nothing has been recovered since the
robbery. My life is now resembling a second rate-crime novel, as I hired a private investigator to help me try and recover my bracelet. That is how much it means to me. I have not given up hope, he has a few tricks up his sleeve...so please continue to send your positive thoughts my way that
this treasured belonging will make its way home.
I am discovering that they very best way to get over a robbery, is to take a weekend and head to Brooklyn, New York with
Elizabeth for a
writing retreat! My mind was a little scattered, so the writing portion was very difficult for me...but the shopping...no problem! I have never spent much time in Brooklyn, so my list of places to see was long and scattered.
Yesterday, once the great snow storm had finally let up, we made our way from Red Hook all the way to Williamsburg. My favorite stop, by far, was
Saipua...who knew such a tiny shop could hold so much inspiration. Also making the favorites list-
Darr and The Brooklyn Flea. Can I take you along on our little journey?
Now the question remains...will we ever make it home, or do we just have to wait for spring thaw?

I dont even know what to say about the robbery. It just makes me sick to the stomache.
I used to live in brooklyn and miss it like crazy. I used to sit for hours on the pier in Redhook and just look at the city. Glad that you got a bit of retail therapy.
Praying that you belongings find their way home.
Some stunning images. Sending you LOTS of positive thoughts, all the way from down under. Good luck x
Glad you managed to lift your spirits with soap and flowers :-) x
Happy to hear you got out and about. Looks like you had some wonderful retail therapy! Sending thoughts your way that your treasure bracelet will be found and on its way home soon.
Sending healing thoughts your way, and hoping your bracelet finds its way back to you.
christine, i'm so thrilled that you took care of yourself and went on a little healing adventure to brooklyn. it's an amazing place, huh? i am jealous though, as i've never been to saipua! it looks amazing. let's go back together some day!! :) and your pictures are fabulous of course. sending you a big hug!
I hope your treasured bracelet makes it home (and maybe your PI will get a lead on the person/people who took it).
Retail therapy/writing/brooklyn was a very prudent decision. Looks like fun- glad the snow didn't get in your way.
oh heck, i'd wait for the spring thaw...
although i'm sad you haven't recovered your bracelet, i will keep praying that you do. It's good to see you posting again and i'm glad you had a good time away.
