Off for our semi-annual jaunt of exploration and purchasing.

Our entourage of six is taking different flights at different times, but we all end up in the same place…

The city that never sleeps never fails to stun. #newyorkcity #empirestatebuilding #stunning

Renee & Kaylin, pictured here in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago, leave for NYC before the rest of us, as they have a complete booth to install for Henry Handwork.

First night in the city, in the elevator of our new favorite hotel, after dinner and a few glasses of wine (clearly!).

NY elevator moments, post Chianti and great food. #ateam #beststaffever #blurr #yotel #henrietta #fur #gummibears

More behind-the-scenes. This time with some of our favorite Italians. (Note the plastic cups of Franciacorta; Italy’s Champagne, and many notches above Prosecco.)
