We'd say that a good majority of our customers have tattoos. And sometimes they have tattoos that are remarkably similar to items we have in the shoppe, like the Polaroid camera and old school bike tattoos pictured above. How cool is that?

Lucky Bidder
When we were in NY, we found out that we were the lucky silent auction bidders on this beautiful sewn piece by Thomas Campbell. We picked it up on Friday, wrapped it up in our trusty Pendleton blanket and brought it home. It has been our dream to have one of Thomas' paintings forever, and I can't wait to find the perfect place to hang it in our apartment. Hurray!

Thursday Photo Assignment: Little
These "little" photos are sooo cute! Thanks everyone! (Lise- your kitty picture cracks me up every time I look at it.) Next week's theme is: "twist". As always, email your photos to info@curiosityshoppeonline.com before next Thursday if you'd like to participate. Sorry I haven't been able to post these at the same time each week- between our weekly Thursday book project meetings and our trip to NY, it's been a little crazy! But starting the week after next, I should be back on track with the 1pm post time. Hope everyone is having a great Thursday!
Inspiration

I used to have this Kate Spade ad pinned to my inspiration board, and I found it again yesterday morning while flipping through some old image files. Then....
Derek spotted a 1950's hospitality cookbook at a vintage furniture store yesterday afternoon and snapped this picture. I love seeing where peoples' inspiration comes from! And how crazy is it that we happened upon both of these images in the same day?

Thursday Photo Assignment: The Big Apple
Greetings from NY! We are having a fun and busy week- working hard but managing to sneak in lots of great meals and visits with friends, while escaping from the heat as much as possible. It is soooo hot and humid here- I had almost forgotten what it feels like. I'm going to post today's photos a little early, as we're heading to an all-day shoot in a bit, but if any more roll in today I'll add them tonight. Thanks for all the great pics! I love the mix of city and fruit shots!
Next week's theme is: "little". Email your photos to: info@curiosityshoppeonline.com before next Thursday if you'd like to contribute!

Thursday Photo Assignment: Yellow
Another great collection this week! I'd forgotten how much I love the color yellow, and had fun walking down our block shooting as many yellow things as I could yesterday. We will be working from NY next week, so let's make next week's theme "The Big Apple". Sound good? As always, send your images to: info@curiosityshoppeonline.com before next Thursday if you'd like to participate. Thanks everyone!!
