Our first non moving-related weekend outing: the Brooklyn Flea. This market has Pretty much every really cool decorator thing that’s super trendy right now – old printing press letters, refurbished wood furniture, maps, lithographs, illustrations, 80s toys, dress firms, iron, keys, glasses, and vintage clothes out the wazoo. All housed in the flea’s winter home: a beautiful old bank.

Hi, Dad 🙂 Subway stop on the way to dinner in Dumbo

The F train.

My new ‘hood.

First meal in the new place: my DH’s marinara (the best ever IMHO) over pasta with garlic bread and a local brew (Brooklyn Brown Ale). A great start, I think.

The chilly bites pulling up a patch of sunlight in my new office.

Found this at the ShopRite in White Plains, where we just gappened to be today after hitting up the closest (open) Container Store with assured parking. There are 2 in Manhattan, but we did not want to deal with that level of drama.

I was tempted, just because the can is that cool, but buying alcohol because it’s pretty doesn’t usually work that well for me.

The water from the IKEA in Red Hook.

The drive day 3: Raleigh to Elizabeth, New Jersey.

It’s Crepe Myrtle blooming time in Raleigh.

Helloooo, Virginia.

My co-pilot is unreliable. Also, I think he’s angling for my sweet, sweet double-pillow driving setup.

Bridge in Delaware.

Maryland?
