New Arrivals! (Pendants, Books, Brooms)

Today is sunny and nearly 70 degrees in Brooklyn. After way too much cold and rain, it is finally feeling like Spring!

We have lots of new arrivals to match the springtime mood, especially some great pendants and necklaces that look beautiful on bare skin.

Also, if you've never found cleaning to be much of an aesthetic experience, get yourself one of the gorgeous handmade brooms by students of Berea College in Kentucky. They perform great and look even better.

We also have a new title in store, Tyger! Tyger!, from Enchanted Lion Books.

Come by to see for yourself this weekend, catch the Lisa Congdon show at Rare Device next door, then walk across Prospect Park and take in the cherry blossoms in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden...
