MARKET Premier - SoLo on eleventh!!

time rarely permits me to sniff out cool new shops but one afternoon I screeched on the breaks when I saw an interesting sign SoLo on eleventh. They were just barely opening and if had three words to describe them I would say "drenched in color".  This is a shop filled with eye candy - I need 6 more arms to pick up everything I love here.  Come and welcome them to our MARKET!!! (PS they design as well!)

c'mon, chant with me "MARKET MARKET MARKET!!"

remember that time when you painted your lips (and teeth and fingers) with your mamma's raving red lipstick?  The one that came in a gold tube that you had to push the waxy red goodness that smelled like powder up with a lever.  Remember looking at yourself in the tiny compact mirror, one eye and then the other.  Carefully selecting the right necklace and earrings to wear with your dress ups was an art, not a science . . . don't want those clip ons to pinch too much and if the screw backs were too large for small ear lobes you would put them above the little cartilage ledge for anchor.

that's just the way you'll feel when you comb through Rebecca's mountain of jewelry at MARKET!  Hurry and save me from myself before I buy it all . . .

tres chic at MARKET!!

these stunning creations brought to you by the creative duo "Two Charming Ladies" . . . abode's own Shireen Watanabe and her partner in bling Missy Stevens conceive, design and bring to life vintage vignettes under glass and unite history with beauty combining vintage imagery, vintage buttons, bits and estate pieces resulting in sophisticated glamour!

june market premier babyggear

OK, I just can't contain my excitement about june's market!!!  here is a new vendor - check out her fun and funky creations.  You'll find her and much more at market on 6/19 . . . see you there!

Here is a little bit about the creator of babyggear:  "When my son was born I fell in love with all things small. As he grew I naturally kept looking for clothes and toys that fit our style. But alas I couldn't find it. So I made it.



babyGgear is just that my baby Gauge's gear. It started out small with a few tie onesies and a couple sock monsters but has evolved into a shop full of goodies for boys, girls, newborns, infants and toddlers. And my new line just for baby Mama's."
