NYC for two days

My daughter Clara is assistant directing a play that needs furniture, so we headed to a factory building on 9th Street near the F train station in Brooklyn which was filled with used furniture, doors, windows, cabinets, and assorted housewares. A great place to furnish your apartment, and they also have a used book section!

 On my way home I stopped at a Housing Works on Chambers Street in Manhattan that had an entire floor for men's wear, which is rather unusual since men usually have less of a selection in these kinds of stores.

Saturday in Brooklyn with my friend Elsa

A quick weekend hop to New York City to hang out with my vintage loving friend Elsa from Paris, who is currently living in Brooklyn for a few months. Saturday in Fort Greene and Clinton Hill means stoop sales all over the place. 

 Hard to see but she has a Coach bag I found on Ebay. The booties she found for $20.

 I think I found the tunic at Revolution in White River Junction, Vermont. The belt came from the indoor flea market in Brattleboro, VT.

I bought a Comptoir des Cotonniers dress from two English women's stoop sale in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Wish I could have gotten that blue and fuschia dress, but when oh when would I ever wear it?

WRJ's Revolution's annual sale and summer daze

I was a very lucky woman last week as 1. I attended the Revolution sale and 2. both my daughters were with me.

White River Junction attracts a variety of humans that, if one is in a bit of a daze, which I have been in this hottest of summers, can make one wonder if one is still in Seattle. Or Montreal...

                                            (Notice that Captain Kirk was included)

                                                    Daughter shopping at the Rev sale

                   We purchased this asymmetrical linen dress. For $5, you can't pass it up!
