I made it to Hartford and am planning to take a train into NYC this morning to meet Bobby and Alekha who flew there separately - we're staying with Bob's brother who lives in the city. I'm excited -- hoping to stop by Tinsel Trading, ABC Home and of course, FAO Schwarz, the Rockefeller Center to see the tree and Metropolitan Museum of Art. New York is wonderful at holiday time.
I wanted to let you all know that the generous folks at Seven Gypsies are giving away a fabulous prize package this month. You've probably seen my gypsy button in my sidebar. All you have to do is show your Gypsy pride too, by putting this Gypsy button on your blog and linking it back to the Gypsy Journal Blog:

Detailed instructions to put the button on your blog can be found on this post. And be sure to comment over at the Gypsy Journal Blog after you've installed your button so that you're in the running for the prize package!
Also, the fabulously talented Paula Cheney and Debbie Crouse of 7 Gypsies just began a new blog of their own, much to my delight! Paula and Deb are both just so extraordinarily gifted and creative - you'll want to add their blogs to your reading list. You can check out their new blog here: One Lucky Day
TTFN!
