This past weekend Jeremy & I explored a new area (to us!) of Brooklyn, Boerum Hill. We rode our bikes there and then just walked around. There are a bunch of antique shops there and if there's anything I really enjoy it's meandering about looking at vintage goods.
Darr - loved the black walls and the display of mirrors ever where.
Collier West. This was my favorite shop of the many on Atlantic Ave. I'm obsessed with apothecary drawers, and this shop had so very many great pieces. The one in the last image is the most amazing piece I've seen (the photo doesn't do it justice), as it has so many little drawers of all different sizes. Also, who can resist a funny little Schnauzer named Tchotchke!
GRDN, not an antique shop, but such a beautiful, lush, garden shop. We'd die for a little outdoor space to have a garden.
We also had the tastiest lunch of garlic bread and lentil soup. Bike rides, old stuff, good food... it was a really nice day.
Are there any areas where you live that you'd like to explore? Anyone in NY have any mores suggestions of any more places that would be good to visit?
Hope you've been having a great week so far!
p.s Check back on the blog today, because I'll be posting about a daily project/challenge to myself for the month of May...
