Zoom Zoom

Right now I'm loving Xander Walker'sspray painted car art. It's gritty and has a street vibe about it, but the stencils and color blocking also give it a graphic quality.

We bought some cool brass duck bookends and some other small brass animals - perhaps to keep or sell on Etsy - and some fun vintage mechanics posters.  We ran into Staci from 45 Three Modern Vintage, who had just run into Emily Hendersonwho was out looking for...
