Takin' it to the Street

If you're looking for something to do this weekend I highly recommend the Hester Street Fair.

My friend Miss LG introduced me to this great little Lower East Side market filled with vintage clothing, antique and handmade jewelry, homemade macarons, upcycled  housewares and a misting booth to cool down after all that shopping (and maybe an impromptu ping-pong match at the center court?)

radiant salad or Cookie Crisp bowls upcycled from old records

my new friend, George Yzquierdo's jewelry collection is unrivaled. So many goodies, but I fell hardest for these Kenneth Jay Lane pieces. I want that dangly frog brooch!

and I spotted this horse pin for Mr Taurus

I wussed out and dodged the Thai Chili, opting instead for the yummers Red Velvet and Honey Butter Cream, a new flavor they were experimenting with that I couldn't stop raving over. Delish!
