A good walk

abode and monamie jewelry will be teaming up at the avenues street fair Saturday.  The 2011 Avenues Street Fair will be held on Saturday, September 10 on 2nd Avenue between E and I Streets, and on G Street between 1st and 3rd Avenues, 9:00 a.m to 6:00 p.m.


Look for the booth bursting with glam and funk - we're bringing goods that have never been in the shop - don't miss out!

I object!

I don't know about you but I have loved lawyers bookshelves from the time I could remember.  My mom has an art deco period set and I coveted them, hoping no one else would want them.  I am fascinated by the mechanics of being able to take them apart and how the glass doors slide up and away.

This set is waiting at abode for someone just like you!

Burlap envy
