COZBI

I happened upon Cozbi's store by accident. We were walking on Court Street in Brooklyn, on the way to our friends house when we came by a very cute storefront. It was late, but the store was still open and Cozbi was there. We met, talked and talked, and looked around a lot. Cozbi makes clothes, dolls, quilts, children's books; all of it exquisite.

If you are not in Brooklyn, make sure you visit her website. But if you are, go to the store, it's worth the trip.

TRUNK

Near the corner of Jay Street and Front street in DUMBO, is a store called TRUNK. It's a collective of clothing, jewelry and furniture designers. Various rotating art installations and shows, make the store even more inviting and impossible to pass by. I read my books for story time at TRUNK, yesterday morning. Not many people showed up, due to the lovely weather, but it was a nice experience and if I had some extra cash, I would have left with a bag full of new wonderful clothes.
