Williamsburg Flea




Another fab flea market day at the Brooklyn Flea in Williamsburg. The best part is all the puppy visits plus the enormous selection food in the Market....constantly grazing and spending our earnings. Its also great to get connected to all the our friends and customers. Nikole's brother Christian is now supplying us with lots of mid Century end tables and such and we ill be there every 2 weeks over the summer.

STRIPED BLANKETS






ALOT OF OLD BLANKETS WERE MADE ON SMALL LOOMS AND THE PANELS HAD TO BE STITCHED TOGETHER TO MAKE BIGGER BLANKETS, THEY ARE OFTEN MISMATCHED BUT HAVE TONS OF CHARM. THEY CAN STILL BE CHEAP AND ADD SOME DASH TO A MODERN CHAIR OR SOFA

Lets Dansk






Dansk Kobenstyle enameled pots are still cheap and super cool. They stack and come in loads of colors

Doggy Bowl Idea



Instead of buying from China, why not use some mis matched china out of the cupboard for your 4 legged friends.
Here we use White ironstone from the late 1880s, we bought all of this online for way cheaper than at Petco...just a thought

Merchants House in New York








Some details from a recent SDGs visit to Merchants House in New York.

The Merchant’s House Museum is New York City’s only family home preserved intact — inside and out — from the 19th century. Built in 1832 just steps from Washington Square, this elegant red-brick and white-marble row house on East Fourth Street was home to a prosperous merchant family for almost 100 years.Complete with the family’s original furnishings and personal possessions, the house offers a rare and intimate glimpse of domestic life in New York City from 1835-1865.
