Woke up the other day and went outside with the bambino and the dog, headed to get coffee. The scenery on the way to my local coffee shop is pretty much the same every morning, but on this particular day I was greeted with something new... something very, very witty.
Marc Jacobs, who pretty much owns every corner of the West Village, had taken over yet another storefront. Although I wish he wasn't on EVERY corner I was happy to see that this new outpost was A) a bookstore and B) very smartly named. Take a look for yourself...
Too good!
In a tiny village, on a narrow street, there sits a little store filled with petite treasures. Some are lovely, some are creepy, some are simply fascinating, all of them tell a story.
Kaas Glassworks in the West Village of Manhattan is a gateway into the unexpectedly beautiful world of antique and historical prints. Each piece is handmade and preserved under glass, the result is a whimsical collection of trays, plates, coasters and paperweights, in various sizes.
Whether you're buying something special for yourself, or a gift, there is no doubt that there is at least one piece that will speak to you.
In honor of Halloween here are some of Kaas' creepier works (logo watermark not on actual pieces)...
I own this one, it's sitting in my liquor cabinet!
Sweet dreams!
