oh how i've always loved the idea of sister cities.
two great places, joined over sea & sky by the idea of common cultural & commercial ties.

budapest, hungary & new york city, usa
well ... one of my favourite folks in the world is visiting this week from new york city. so in honour of great friends, i thought we'd pay homage to that great destination: NYC and one of it's beautiful handmade sister cities, hungary's capital: budapest
gosh i've loved spending many-a-fun excursion in new york over the years - it is CERTAINLY one of my favourite cities i've ever been to: the fabulous architecture, the amazing artistic scene, the vibrant handmaking communities and the endless plethora of inspiring ideas on every city block!
i've not yet been to budapest, but goodness: when i hear friends talk of this beautiful city, i just can't wait for the day to explore it myself! i think these two cultural hotspots are well paired: both so alive with living history, great art, fabulous architecture & amazing artists.
so happy handmaking to budapest & nyc!
have you been to either/both of these handmade sister cities?
tell us your favourite parts/neighbourhoods/delights/sights!
we'd love to hear!

What a great combination, I'm honored to be included!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great mix! My favorite place in NY is the Sheep's Meadow in Central Park. People watching at it's best!

ReplyDeleteI adore Stephanie of Metalicious. Her designs rock and she's one of the sweetest people ever.
Breathtakingly beautiful! Love your curation, K! Thanks so much :)
ReplyDeleteSo very beautiful! Thanks so much for including my drawing among these amazing picks. As a native New Yorker, I must admit just how lovely it is here! Although Eastern Europe certainly has a huge soft spot in my heart.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to agree with Dawanna -- Stephanie of Metalicious is seriously one of the sweetest people. ;)
Love this sister cities idea - thanks so much Kristal!!
