crush

It's always exciting when a line I have been stalking, serendipitously makes it's way to Mercado's door step.  Anna Sheffield and her yummy line of jewelry, Bing Bang, will visit us next week for a special Trunk Show.
Anna is super cute, has great style, and has built a a jewelry empire based on quality and craftsmanship.  We already have a huge crush on her.

The treasure hunt will commence on Thursday, August 19th at 6pm...........
W will mix up some delicious cocktail, and of course there will be some kind of nibbles.

Poodle Break

Stop it cuteness, I can't take it.

Soul Candy

Since I a own "store", some might expect me to post info on the latest "it" thing...complete with a great photo essay and why I "heart" it.....

But I figure thats what EVERY other blog does, and so do I really need to?

Do you really need to see one more picture of an Alexander Wang T-Shirt? Or Harry Allen Pig Bank?

(besides we don't carry those anyway)

Here are some inspiring soul candy I found recently, proving that there are still smart creative people out there, who are not interested in doing a line for Target.

Sarah Williams, a graduate student from London College of Fashion, makes these fashion artefacts....or luggage.

Yazuka Lou 

Meticulously hand-made light sculptures by Eddy Sykes. Each limited edition chandelier is signed, numbered and requires up to 4 months to complete.

.........thats all I got  for you today.

Laughing Out Loud

Lately I am all about doing anything to make myself laugh or feel good....
Which excludes pretty much everything related to Mercado, my house, my bank account and the interior of my car.
While reading one of my favorite blogs I stumbled across this

I restricted my self to only reading one page a day. So I won't O.D on sarcasm and mockery before lunch.
