While walking cross town from my sister's to my grandmother's in NY, I pass some great tile and decorating stores. On this walk, I popped into Fishs Eddy . For those of you who are not familiar, they sell, among other things, old restaurant and diner patterns. What a great way to mix and match for a casual look.
Fun abounds inside. Here are some of my fav's from a brief walk through.
Why rent when you can own? Even the name is great. A platter with a floor plan. I think I am in heaven.
For great ideas that happen over cheese, check out these memo boards. Inspired by papers from school days past, there is graph paper, lined paper and that paper we learned to write on with the dash to help you figure out where to put the tall part and the short part of letters. (If you are 6 years old, this is helpful.) Mugs and 8 1/2 x 11 sized platters.
For some New Yorkers, Brooklyn is a place be avoided at all costs. For others, it is fun and funky, for others the home land. Regardless of your feelings about the 781 area code, there's a lovely series after the borough. 
And last but not least, why not add a bit of polka-dot fun to your day. Love these!
