Hanna Werning

We're pleased as punch that Daily Candy has featured Hanna Werning's wallpaper-posters! Hanna was thrilled to hear the news though she is now on her summer break in Sweden. As soon as she returns, we'll have plenty of posters to ship out to you. And, please check out the rest of the current Rare Picks, we've added over a dozen products to the online shop.

Yesterday we did a little cruise around our neighborhood before heading to the waterfront to watch the fireworks. The shops were closed but we peeked in windows and all looks good. Out in Boerum Hill, right above a place we used to sublet, is the Nascent Cafe, supposedly some good eats and nice people there. And around the corner is Brooklyn Circus, a young shop that bills itself "the illest men's boutique in Brooklyn". If you love the sneakers, you have to be there.

If you love the clogs, though, there is a shop for you on Atlantic Ave and Nevins, it is a tiny wisp of a store called Triple Happiness and all we could see through the gate were a dozen pair of clogs arranged on a bare white floor. I can't wait to find out the story on this place.
