When Lukasz came to visit us he taught us a bunch of polish!! Here is some of what we learned from the man himself- in Krakow!!

Get READY

Someone was jealous

First of all let me say that next May I will have been part of the OYG team for 5 years. Yesss! Also, our office is located right down the block from this bread/pastry/muffin factory called Kabir’s. So basically, it’s been years of deliciously torturous bread smells everyday with nothing to show for it. UNTIL TODAY!

We were on our way to go geocaching (because we are awesome), when Tammy strolls into the factory like she owns it. I couldn’t believe it, but it happened! I guess people can go in there and just buy bread?

“You want 4 cases?”
“No we want 4 pieces.”
“…Just take this whole case.”
“YES.”

The guys thought we were weirdos I guess, but what they didn’t know was that my brain was melting.

Next we went geocaching, which we starting doing this week because it makes us feel like Indiana Jones\Encyclopedia Brown.

Honestly, I can’t remember everything that happened because I was still in a bread daze.

TODAY IS MY BEST DAY!

We are cool.

Still cool.

17 Ohio University design students came to visit us today and IT WAS COOL. We talked about design, how we are awesome, how they are awesome, how design is awesome and then had some french fries. We also played this cool game called Pictionary Telephone? And Harry Potter? And more design?  Beer? Thanks for visiting us guys! We ♥ You!

Best way to kick off the summertime- a weekday drawing session in the park with some iced coffee. Heaven in Brooklyn.

Remember when I said I would post stuff from Yesterday’s News here every week? I lied to you. Through my teeth.

Anyway, I do love this store and my obsession with it is coinciding nicely with my addiction to Mad Men. Mid-century furniture, YES! These are the things I loved today (none of which are mid-century furniture):

1. Thermos. It weighed like 50 pounds and it is probably made out of lead. Perfect for the kids! $6

2. Groovy mugs. I love any kind of mugs or glasses. If you ever want to just spend money on me for no apparent reason, these are a guaranteed hit.

3. The New Baby! I love Little Golden Books 4 realz. I was almost going to get this and then I remembered I’m going to have a REAL new baby in like 7 weeks.

4. Letters. They are just plastic letters, but they are rad and you can pretend you are a P.I. in the 40′s and stick them to your door but really you are just playing W.O.W. in private. 2 for $1.

428 Court St (between 2nd Pl & 3rd Pl) if you want to visit, though call first. They are closed Mondays, rainy days, gloomy days and also whenever they feel like it – BUT it’s getting nice out so they will be open all the time! Yes!

I just ate a Reuben from the newly opened Court Street Grocers - on court street. And you know what? It was damn good! Really damn good! The place is super cute and with some delicious other treats not to mention the gourmet groceries inside. You always gotta love a family run operation. I can’t wait for the little seating area to open. You will find me there eating rueben’s on a regular basis.

Follow up – the shortbread cookies and the butter sugar cookies are insane! Get them.

ps: photo of Rick Rubin has nothing to do with it other than he is vaguely named after a tasty sandwich.
