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!

The sign in the window says, “There is no place just like this place anywhere near this place, so this must be the place.” No duh forever. There is also a sign that says “Closed Wednesdays” which is a lie because they are closed on Mondays. That, coupled with Caputo’s also being closed on Mondays, makes that day pretty much the WORST.

Yesterday’s News makes me justify cramming more crap (uh gems) into my apartment and walk the pace of a non-New Yorker every time I pass it. Seriously this treasure trove of antique awesomeness has found a place in all of our hearts and has been a source of inspiration to us on more than one occasion. It is for this reason that we will start a weekly post showing off the items that we want but probably 1. can’t afford or more likely 2. can’t squeeze into our combo living room/office/kitchens.

Awesome find of the week: humongous paper slicing table which is probably not safe for kids.
