Hey everyone & welcome back..boy it seems like it has been forever!! If you have been following via my InstagramHERE you would know we recently took a trip back to NYC to celebrate our 8 years of marriage! We honeymooned there in 2009 , revisited in 2010 & wanted to go back to recapture some memories & we all around just needed a vacation!!! We decided to drive because we wanted to cozy in the Jeep & enjoy the scenery & each others' time & I despise flying haha! We arrived a few hours early before we could check -in to our hotel which was amazing { post coming soon }. One of the things on my itinerary list was to visit the New York Pottery Barn because well it's the NYC Pottery Barn ahaha! We pulled up & I instantly like melted..into a whimsical dreamy & magical land ha! It's 2 stories of everything rustic, cottage, farmhouse, & industrial you could imagine. Keep reading below for my personal experience..
If you've never been to the city, it's a definite must !! The buildings, streets, hustle & bustle..everything you see in the movies is true of NYC! It's grand, fun & whimsical all in one!!
Story time:
Okay, so as I stated above we arrived in the city early & decided to do a little shopping..While Mark was in the bathroom I started talking to the employees etc.. & after I said we had just driven 11 hrs to come here & I was a Michigan based Home Blogger they were shocked!! I kept shopping around & about 5 minutes later a few people surrounded me & one of the nice ladies asked if I would come meet the GM OF THEIR STORE?! I seriously turned sooo red, I looked disheveled from the car ride, was in layers of sweats, but literally couldn't believe what was happening.. A few moments later the awesome GM, Clinton came over & introduced himself & we chatted for a minute before he asked if we could take a picture together before we left & he'd post it on the Pottery Barn NYC IG....Umm by this time I was freaking out & excited all in one..It was like a fan-girl moment for my little blogging heart! The whole shopping experience after that was insane with people asking us at every point in the massive establishment if we needed anything & so on.. I can't THANK the staff & GM for reaching out to me like that & attending to our shopping experience like they did.
See the bag I'm holding in a few pictures up?! I bought the cutest green & blue plaid pillow & styled this area a few hours after arriving home haha!
What an awesome experience right? I hope you guys liked this little real moment with me & you got to see bits of our trip & of course the awesome @potterybarn store!!
