American Quilters | Vintage Textiles
All I needed to see were the words “American” & “Vintage” in the same sentence and my attention was drawn. Never mind that I was not just the only man in the room, but the only non-retirement aged person in the room as well. Yeah, well, vintage textiles and a mutual admiration for masterful craftsmanship [...]
Old Faithful Shop | Vancouver B.C.
I now have one more to add to my list of places to visit on my next trip out West (and a bit North to Vancouver, to be exact). I used to travel a couple times a year to Vancouver for work and really found it to be a great place. A perfect mix of [...]
PORCHES | Berkshire Digs
If you live (or are visiting) anywhere near the Northeast U.S. and need a great place to decompress for a few days, I wholeheartedly recommend Porches. The entire experience is geared to ease you out of the everyday-grind. Low-key, quiet, hip (but, void of attitude), and surrounded by great restaurants and art museums.
Vintage Radios | 1950′s Palm Springs

Weber | Designed Grilling
Hey Dad, when is dinner ready?! Spring, Spring, Spring! And the sun has finally arrived- just in time for the weekend! I’m sure by now you’re all for breaking out the grill (if in fact you ever really put it away for Winter). In my grilling past, I’ve gone through every conceivable style of grill- [...]
Le Labo | Perfume & Candles, Quality & Packaging
Le Labo Fragrances on New York’s Elizabeth St. combines beautiful packaging and presentation with top quality products. Make sure to walk down Elizabeth slowly though, as the outside of the shop is so understated that you may stroll right on by.
