Update #1: THANKS!
Thanks so much to our awesome friends and family for supporting us! With all the loving energy you bring to what we do, the possibilities for our store can only grow.
The clock is ticking on our project and we've still got a ways to go, but we can do it. Tell your friends about how awesome we are and the great rewards we've got!
In other news...
This Friday we're having our 50 Dollar Bill event, which I think will bring a lot of excited people to the store. We've invited all our designer friends to sell $50 items with us, including a few high-profile people like Susan Cianciolo and Love Brigade, and Brooklyn up-and-comers Nightwood, who make beautiful furniture and housewares from reclaimed materials. With free champagne and tea, one-of-a-kind gift items, and a bunch of groovy people, it'll be an event not to be missed if you'll be in the city!
Best,
Absolute Beginners
