It may not go together like white on rice, but when I'm craving some Eatery sushi time, I choose to go earlier rather than later just so I can get a whiff of the book smell. You know the one I'm referring to, a delightful blend of dusty, musty,…More »

What caught my eye? Lamp shades and purple swirl chairs - oh my! Oh the colours, and the tables, and the clock radios. Everything looked like it came from my grandparent's home circa 1960 (still hanging out way into the 80's) which is why I almost…More »

9/6/2009

The best part about roaming through here is flipping over the price tag, ignoring what the price reads and looking at the line for age: 60 years, 80 years, 120 years...oh, if these pieces could spend some time telling tales of their previous homes…More »

Five minutes before the parking meter expires. Tick tock tick tock!

That leaves no time to find the perfect birthday gift for a girlfriend at all! I was in panic mode, on a mission on Commercial, none of the stores I had speed-shopped in had what I…More »

So friendly! You can't help but spend a moment gabbing with the lovely woman who works here while running your hands over some beautiful mid-century pieces.

7.5 shoes in the front (all other shoes in the back, and plenty of them), racks labeled with S, M, L, Maternity, Dresses, Evening Gowns etc... I can't think of anything I don't like here!
