My New Friend

 I am catching up on my blog today...I am now in Norwalk Connecticut . I am staying at a new young friends beautiful home in a old tree laden neighborhood.

I met Kara on a art retreat Greta and I took in June. It was in Sweden and was ever so perfect and dreamy. You can see for yourself.

We did a lot of fabric stamping and created a book

My little presentation at retreat..what I made

On the last day of the retreat we all shared the books we made and I shared about my plans for this trip in the van.   Kara and a few others offered their home to me. Today I am going to another friends home in New York. 

It was a good stop. This town is on the coast and is quite lovely. I wanted to go to the beach but found out things are not so public here. To park at the beach is $150 for the day for non residents. In Greenwich,  a very affluent town, it is $350 a day to park if you are not a resident. 

So..think I will just do a drive by and look at the ocean.
