Growing up in New York City is one of the great privileges of my life and shaped who I am today in more ways than I can count.  My youth was rich with diversity, traditions, a sense of community, and amazing visual stimulation.  I grew up on Eleventh Street and 1st Avenue in the East Village of Manhattan.  I people-watched for hours from the first floor window of our railroad apartment, many of which were spent shoulder to shoulder talking with my mom.   As a young adult, I moved from New York to Los Angeles where I spent the next 23 years before moving to Raleigh.  This shop is a visual story infused with many cultures, interests and a world of happenings.  I will continue to add to this collection in hopes to share a little of myself with you.
