September 5, 2009. Street fairs are a summer staple in NYC. You can find anything or nothing. Food, bed sheets, rugs, jewels, sun glasses. There is a profusion of sights, sounds, smells and people. I had just finished my Saturday morning swim, and I had to go the fair, before going off on the rest of my day, which would end in a full moon stroll on the Highline. These stone bracelets were jumbled on a table, a kaleidoscope of color and texture, waiting to be picked up, looked at and slid on your wrist. They could be the pebbly beach in some wonderland world …. and here they were, on a table towered over by midtown Manhattan hotels and office buildings.
