there is something about New York City and Tiffany’s. i think the magic started with Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s which, by the way, is one of my favorite movies. a cat named cat? i will be doing that someday.
anyways, when i went to nyc for the first time in 2009, we only briefly walked through. the second time i took my time finding the perfect (and most affordable) treasure to bring home. i was so happy to have a little blue box and shopping bag. not for vain reasons.

so this year when i went to the city, Tiffany’s was on my list. even if i just walked through, i would be happy. but, to my excitement, i found something! a small butterfly charm. Tiffany’s slogans for their necklaces are “to wear close to your heart” and with that in mind, i had to buy the charm. you see, my grandma who passed away in January, loved butterflies. and i have been wanting to have something i could wear everyday to remind me of her. so i went ahead and bought it.
oh, and the funniest thing happened on the elevator from the fourth floor to the first. a couple got on the elevator and the woman, very elaborately dressed, sighed loudly and said to her fiancé, “Oh, my hand hurts so much from trying on all of those diamond rings!” someone wanted the seven of us in the elevator know what she had been doing.
