Takin' It To The Streets...

I have some exciting news! Octavia & Brown is taking it to the streets! I'm going to doing my first outdoor show at the Williamsburg Flea on Sunday, August 7th. I'll be bringing glassware, 60's barware, lamps, signage and some larger furniture pieces not previously seen on the site. If anyone wants to stop by and say hello,  I'll be there rain or shine from 10am- 5pm. 

Thanks for speading the word and hope to see you there!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, OCTAVIA & BROWN!

Where can I begin... Octavia & Brown just celebrated our 1st {blog} birthday on Friday!  I am beyond thrilled for all the friends I have met and humbled by all the wonderful comments that have been shared over the past year. Thank you so much for your continued support and here's to a bright and happy future!

While in true O&B fashion, I'd love to throw a party for all of you complete with champagne in vintage stemware on gorgeous serving trays, since travel might be a bit of an issue, I thought I'd offer 15% off all items at Octavia & Brown from 4/5/11- 4/10/11 (excludes shipping).  Just use coupon code 1BDAY at checkout. Just a present from me to you.

SIMPLY A GREAT WEEKEND...

Okay, I've been basically shouting this from the rooftops since Friday, but Octavia & Brown was featured as a top vintage shop on Etsy in the April issue of Lonny Magazine! A owe a huge thank you to Michelle and Ellie, who I met at the fantastic P.S. I Made This event at Kate Spade back in the Fall. Check out the feature here (as well as some other very cool vintage shops)...

On Saturday, I ventured over the Pier Art & Antiques Show at Pier 94 in NYC. I'd never been before and wasn't sure what to expect. Lucky for me, it was a mix of mid-century modern, art deco, 50s kitsch, as well as more traditional dealers. I ended up with some fantastic finds including a silver plate humidor, a bright yellow enamel bowl and three gorgeous sets of glasses. All will be coming to Octavia & Brown this week! Be sure to check back...

CHANNELING JACKIE...

Is it me, or has December just flown by? Between buying new items for Octavia & Brown, shipping gifts to customers, holiday parties and shopping for family and friends it's been a busy month! I definitely need to channel some of the grace and poise of Jackie O. to make it through next week.

Here's a sneak peek of some new items that will be coming to Octavia & Brown today/ tomorrow...

Are you ready for the Holidays?
