Holy Yuminess!

My Favorite kind of Tree.

Just a couple of images that inspire me from around the web. Had a crazy amazing weekend. I never realized how much opening up a store would open me up to so many amazing people and how it would challenge me on every level imaginable creative, personal, emotional etc. Every week there seems to be something new to explore, learn or be challenged by. And everything I go through I end up feeling happier and freer for it. Hope you all have a great week ahead!

A Tribe Called Quest

I have always been drawn to tribal designs. Whether I am picking or designing something for the store, there is often a tribal element.

I love the patterns and playfulness that you find in tribal attire. There is always a natural element too which I like a lot. Here is a sample of some of the tribal items we have in store now.

 

Kenyan Market Bag, $75.00.

Afghani Silver & Coral Horse Ring circa 1900s.

Ghana Tribal Leather & Shell Necklace circa 1920s.

And just for fun....

There have been a ton of changes happening around the shop. For one we opened a second shop in the basement called The Eye of Faith which is a collection of mens & ladies vintage as well as antique collectibles. And on the second floor we have Lady Galt Vintage & Eclectic Love Vintage who are selling their wares as well. One big happy vintage shop. There are more developments to come so stay tuned... I am feeling rejuvenated by all these changes. I feel like I have more energy than when I started the store. Looking forward to the coming months. Have a great weekend! :)
