I took my mom to my annual bead show in NYC today. Every time I come here IÂ discover new stones and find inspiration.
Afterwards, we visited the farmer’s market in Union Square and of course, did some more shopping.
As intense as these installation projects are which involve working long hours and being away from my family, I have to say I do enjoy doing them.
When you walk in, you’ll forget that you’re inside of a hotel room…
It’s a shame though I didn’t get to use this amazing pool. Maybe tomorrow…
I got a very nice email from The Divine Minimalist letting me know that they have featured my jewelry on their blog! They have compiled a list of beautiful pretty things and mine was one of them. See the full post here.
{A big thanks to Betsy and Mollika for the super kind words about Cadence Lee!}
I took Chloe for a shopping/errand day in the city. I had appointments with vendors all morning and had to buy more merchandise for my jewelry biz.
When we walked through Time square, she said, “this is a crazy city!”
Chloe, waiting so patiently, coloring during my shopping.
Late lunch at 2. She finished the whole bowl of pork chops. Then she said with a sweet smile, “I told you I was hungry.”
Chloe was such a sweet angel today. She walked a lot without any complains, waited patiently during my meetings, and was a good sport. What a trooper!
On my way home, from picking up the kids at school, Chloe spotted a rainbow. It was so beautiful and really vivid. Looking down from the top of our street, it almost looked like it was coming from our house!
Rainbow reminds me of God’s promise and His faithfulness. 🙂
Before I entered into the dark hole (work) I took an early walk on the beach this morning. I arrived here bright and early yesterday which means I was already sleep deprived, but I know how busy I was about to get so I’m here. Getting my priority straight.
There were so many jellyfishes on the beach. Pretty.
*Let the record show that this was the last time I saw sunlights during this trip. Lame.*
Another baby shower. done.
It was all girls baby shower, so I took Chloe with me.
She loves to read books as you can see.
I had the joy of meeting Amy and Terrence’s new baby, Andrew. How precious…
I found my wedding gifts to them on the walls of their new fancy brooklyn apartment.
Congratulations, Jenn and Rich!
got up at 6 a.m. (even though I had all the space in the large bed to spread out, I stuffed my sides with pillows to fall asleep. I actually missed my munchkins pushing and shoving next to me in bed…)
went to the Mac Expo,
and stopped by China town for late lunch.
lunch at 5 pm.
I met up with my nephew and niece for the first time this evening!
we took a BART to downtown Berkeley to see my cousin perform.
The band sounded really great! They play what’s known as raggae fusion music, sort of funky and cool.
What an amazing trip I had… I was so happy to see my cousin and her beautiful family during my visit to S.F. Thank you for making this trip so special. And see you in Cabo!~~
Wife, Mother, jewelry designer &
graphic designer /Creative Director, I am HaeWon Cadence Ryu. This is a glimpse into my life’s blessings, passion and inspiration.
This blog came to fruition after I began motherhood; I wanted to be able to capture every millestone of my two beautiful children - Chloe & Shane as they journey through their early years. Since the launch of my online jewelry site, cadencelee.com, I’ve come face-to-face with having to juggle multiple roles. As a result, I have decided to feature some of my designs and inspiration alongside postings of my precious family. For me, this is the perfect medium of work-life balance.
