Here are just a few favorites in the store right now.  Collected by Janelle.

Linda Muza of Blue Rose makes these fingerless gloves out of cashmere sweaters. She hand embroiders words on the knuckles, remeniscent of prison tatoos.

Happy Fucking Holidays. Well said. By 16 Sparrows.

Madam Chino headband. Amazing retro fabrics with rad prints on them. This one is her cassette print. Keeps your ears toasty warm while sledding.



Le Petit Forest. Antique watch, little charms. So sweet.

Scandeez. Made from reclaimed leather.

University of Wisconsin Milwaukee student, April Heding, will be showing two bodies of work in this solo exhibition. The black and white photos with their ghostly and often abstract images are results of alternative darkroom processes. The other half of the show includes ink drawings again with photographic images burned into them. Both collections examine the artist's relationship with death.

Join us for an opening reception on Friday December 5th from 6-9pm. The artist will be in attendance along with local dj's BangLaFresh.
