20. July 2010

Right now their stock consists of fabric covered pushpins and magnets that I’m kind of in love with. I dig these bird pushpins because they [...]

Joy! A new local shop is opening up for me to drop even more money on goods for the #moneypit (also known as our house). You’ll recall that I was mildly scolded for not doing enough shopping at local stores when we first bought the house and need paint and light fixtures and stuff like [...]

While long a fan of the East Market shop I never knew that they actually make the furniture they sell. Or have made, or whatever. The point is [...]
