I dropped by
this afternoon to check-out
their
"Design" sale
which is being previewed downtown
at the 15th street location.
I dished the dirt a bit with
the lovely
Roddy and Hartogs
and then it was time to look at some junk.
I will try to report from
if I can force myself Uptown before the 13th....

This chair,
I have to say, is pretty cool.
Never really liked it much until today.

Wow,
I just got the joke...
how many years has this gone right
over my head?
These lamps DO look like mussels, moules....
Damn am I thick.
(They say that girth is important, but not in this case....)
Anyway,
these were "grosse", huge in fact.
You can't really tell from my shots.
Me like.
