I have to admit I was shocked when I saw that the fabulous Land of Nod was being taken over by Crate & Barrel to create Crate & Kids. But I thought I would check it out in store whilst I was New York for the Bowie show. I called in Crate & Kids on Broadway (near Houston St.) and found it was only small with some nice designs but the selection was limited. Here are my best snaps, including these cute arrows designed to lead shoppers from the front door to the first floor department...
Many more items are available to buy online here including shipping to the UK. So here are some more Crate & Kids web highlights.
One of the nicest places I have found to buy a stylish themed gift in Manhattan is Fishs Eddy, who have special design collections for Brooklyn, NYC, and Coney Island amongst others. I especially loved their collaborations with Charley Harper (cacti and pop flowers) created by Todd Oldham. Anyone visiting the city can find them just over the road from ABC Carpet & Home on Broadway at 19th Street, and you can of course buy online too.
I am back from a few days in New York for the David Bowie Is exhibition. Although I didn't get a lot of time for shopping I have managed to get some snap shots for Print & Pattern. I'll start with interior designers fave ABC Carpet and Home located on Broadway near the Flat Iron building. The first thing to catch my eye were some cute but stylish animal cushions by Everbloom in the children's department, as well as bright neon pink and rainbow prints, stationery by Rosie Wonders, and ethereal moon prints by Danielle Bhavya Winter.
I popped my head into cute gift shop Pink Olive. They have several stores but the one I saw was in Williamsburg on Bedford Avenue. These decorative kitten plushes made me smile as did their matching keyrings. The Maptote bags also made for stylish souvenirs.
A little follow up online revealed a whole host of beautiful designs for sale at PinkOlive.com. Including these gorgeous prints....
Print & Pattern will be away all this week as I am heading off to New York to visit the "David Bowie Is" exhibition in Brooklyn. Back on Monday July 9th.
