Hope you understand, we didn't get to escape for the holidaze, so we've slipped out of cold brooklyn for 10 daze to visit our family in california. today we went to a farmers market and ate oysters and went to a flea market and some junk shops and telegraph ave and ate sushi. it was awesome! but we miss you and promise we'll return in a weekandahalfish....and then we'll be remodeling treehouse to make it ready for this new exciting decade! yay! can't wait for you to join us in the near and fabulous future!

Two designers from two of our favorite Williamsburg boutiques, (Erin Weckerle for Sodafine), (Sirius* for Treehouse, Brooklyn) have teamed up to show off their latest hand-made, one of a kind creations. Their past shows have always blown us away, we can't wait to see what they will surprise us with this season!
