I love Brooklyn, most everything about it and Angie at omondieu! introduced me to Rena Tom at Rare Device. Rare Device makes the Brooklyn Experience even more complete this month by featuring all kinds of local Brooklyn designers! Yea for buying local! She has a newsletter which I received just now and you should go check out her store - live preferably if you can, or online. Sign up for her newsletter too! The above photo is an exclusive plate which Lena Corwin made just for the show you are about to read about below. I love it!
Below is an excerpt from the Rare Device newsletter featuring a great event which includes a reception held by Grace Bonney, high queen of design blogs (you HAVE seen design*sponge - of course you have! There is nothing which comes close to her design blog). Here is the newletter excerpt:

design*sponge ~~ WOW! One of things that I LOVE best about your morning blog are links to fabulous places like design*sponge. Couldn't you just sink into that bedding? And how about those soft rocks? Thanks as always for sharing what you find. And enjoy the day! And BTW: you looked great yesterday in that felted black jacket!!!! Pat
Always a treat to come to your site and learn something new and artistically inspirational
yes, Lena Corwin is so inspirational I think, and so I was inspired to buy four plates! (not even my birthday, but oh well) Rena Tom the owner and designer herself is a lovely person and I highly reccomend taking a peek around her store!
Thanks for stopping by!
