Swallow This!!

Maury and I hooked up for our girl's day out again..we had the whole day to ourselves, rain and all. I invited Maury to trek out with me to the lovely borough of Brooklyn to pick up this incredible lucite chair I found on craigslist and she was already making faces but I promised we'd have fun.. Sure enough we did! We ended up in the charming neighborhood of Carroll Gardens and we fell in love with it! Especially when Maury spotted this cute little looking boutique called SWALLOW. We were there for hours no kidding, looking at every little nook and cranny, every corner and every trinket! The store, which is owned by Ria Charisse, houses pieces from both international and local artistic talent. It was like huge treasure chest, just look at the pictures!   

The glorious entryway

I scooped up these precious select brass trinkets!

We loved this bat head!
