Fishs Eddy

Two words:

dream world.


I was introduced to the name Fishs Eddy after visiting Bailey and Kevin many times in Brooklyn. They had the cutest pieces in their kitchen. Very simple and practical, but they always caught my eye. During this trip to NY I made the request to KPrime that we venture there. “I just feel like I will like it,” I said. To which she responded, “You will LOVE it.”!

And love is the teensiest word for how I feel about this shop. I think you know me well enough by now to understand how I really feel. Basically this store is Anthropologies kitchen section on crack. This place is a gold mine. The story is that Fishs Eddy started off selling old dining items from old diners, restaurants, and hotels. Now much of what they sell is new, but still very much with that vintage feel. And it’s all reasonably priced too. Jackpot.


They were indeed having a sale when I arrived. It made my heart flutter. They must have knew I was coming.

Here are some of the pieces I took home with me:

“Clean Up Your Act” Soap Dish


Souvenir New York State Dish Towel.


Diner White Cow Milk Bottle


NY Skyline Crock

Be sure to visit next time your in the city! It’s a fun place to stop in!

Lonny Mag

So in my search for a good magazine awhile back, my friend Eliza informed me of an online magazine called Lonny. Although I was looking for actual pages to flip (i.e. paper magazine), the online paper-less magazine Lonny wins for spectacular ideas, eye-pleasing layout, and all around fabulous design. It’s so wonderful, every issue is so bright and EXACTLY my style. Or at least, what my style inspires to be. Plus, it’s GREEN!

Thank you Eliza for letting me know about this!
Looking through this mag is a DREAM if I ever had one. Simply divine.


I am 170% addicted to this publication.
If that’s even possible.
And I think it might be.

The August/September Issue is 197 pages of pure bliss.
Oh joy!
