Two Fantastic Finds
Imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon to new (to me) great stores on Atlantic Avenue today. Consignement has reasonably priced vintage designers clothes, and shoes and bags. Sterling Place is filled with lots of goodies - like Knock Knock cards, Marie Belle chocolates and super cool books.
Also visited: Layla and Maleeka. Visit Brooklyn Now for more info.

"Footnotes" and "Holiday Shoes" Wrapping Paper
"Style Diaries" Greeting Cards are limited edition cards that tell an original story. Fashion pieces are donated by real women and the actual fabric is cut and inserted into the card for a stunning, multi-dimensional look. A dairy entry on the back reveals where the piece had been and what it meant to its owner. Each card is numbered and Remanents will donate 20% of the online sales to the Global Woman’s Fund. Nice!

Stoopin Part 2
I'm having a stoop sale this Saturday (rain date Sunday) and getting rid of LOADS of stuff SUPER CHEAP! I'll also be collecting money for charities like Joel's Place for Children and Rabbit Rescue. If you live in Brooklyn, e-mail me for details!
See a great article on Brooklyn Stoop Sales HERE
(a VERY small sampling of what I'll be selling; Magazines FREE with a donation to select nonprofits; Pug not for sale)
lobster and clam-ware
Lately, I am having a bit of my own Omnivore's Dilemma, but I couldn't resist posting about the adorable lobster and clam-ware from Plum Party
And while we are on the subject, kudos to Whole Foods, which recently decided to stop selling live lobsters stating, "We place as much emphasis on the importance of humane treatment and quality of life for all animals as we do on the expectations for quality and flavor" (See an interesting argument against Whole Foods' ban on Trevor Corson's blog, the Secret Life of Lobsters)
Mahar Drygoods
I am absolutely in love with Mahar Drygoods, vintage and artisan-crafted goodies for kids.
Do us both a favor and visit a.s.a.p.
Stoopin'
If you live in Brooklyn, you know that summer is Stoop Sale Season. Practically every weekend, on every block, you can find someone selling their wares.
And you know what they say, one Brooklynites trash....
The Stoop Sale Gods were shining upon Emma and I this weekend. In about an hour, I found:
1. a super-cool illustration for $2 (lady wearing fabulous 20's/30's era outfit, man w/ gun in hand) which I stuck in a $4 frame, and voila! Wall art!
2. a gorgeous pair of clip-on earrings with turquoise stones and feathers for $4
3. three teacups and saucers ($1 each!) which I'll be using in the next Teacup Swaps and 4 vintage plates, also $1 each
4. A leather-cuff bracelet (which I absolutely adore) for $1
Total: (including yellow and white bangles, not pictured) $20
