Housing Works Thrift Stores


are great...
How did I not discover these Thrift stores before. I accidently stumbled upon the spring fever events, whilst browsing online for furniture in New York.

I got some treats. Two Marc Jacobs coats. One Pink Barney's Trench (only $50) and much furniture. In fact too much furniture.

I also popped into the Crosby street store... just to have a second look. and thank god I did. as the store was having a major blow out sale. In preparation for there Spring Fever event. All clothes were $1. I spent $33. I dragged my bin liner full of stuff all the way home. I am now the proud owner of many a second hand blazer. it's a good job I did not get to the store at opening time. Word on the street was that one women got 99 items.

Who said New York was not cheap.

I adore Thrift Shopping. It brings me so much more pleasure than buying brand new things. It is more than just the price. I have no qualms at wearing somebody else's old duds. A habbit which horrifies my mother.

TREE



I have started to paint on everything with acrylic paint. I love it when things you would not deem beautiful are made into art.

I do not love big huge American 4X4's Jeeps, whatever they are. But the tree makes this car special.

I walked passed a mini skip the other day, that had been wallpaperered. Beautiful. Who did that?

Woof



Walked down by the water, in williamsburg, Brooklyn. The park was just about to shut. But the guy let us in. Stodd looking at the water. This bench made us giggle, with its extra bit on the side.

Photos from New York




It's great when you wake up, and you actually remember a dream. Dreams are so often forgotten. Never realised.

Don't honk



would it be New York without honking?
