Camisoles, lace-edged leggings, long sleeve tee, and a cotton/silk sweater at the Japanese department store in Soho, two cookbooks ("Japanese Cooking, a Simple Art" which I own and love but is in storage at the moment, "The Amish Cook's Anniversary Book", second book gathered from the local newspaper column of an Amish housewife and her daughter, I dearly loved the first one; an art catalogue : "Female Form, Paintings, Drawings and Sculptures from the 19th and 20th Centuries", a small Japanese art book from a young (12 years old) Japanese woman's art, "Spring around my Shoulders", paintings laced with her poetry, and a first edition, first printing of Madeleine L'Engle "A Ring of Endless Light". All at the Housing Works Bookstore and Café also in Soho, with a glass of iced tea, as this was their 30% off first weekend of the month sale!
