5 things to do + Gems

1. Visit RetroCraft Design, a CT sponser! I love businesses like this because I hate painting. Loath it with a passion. So, it makes me happy that there are folks out there who are doing the nasty work for me :)

RetroCraft Design also has a great selection of unpainted MCM fings.

2. Check out Kalembar Dune's new look - I love this shop and look forward to checking out their new location

3. Get a scoop of Maple's Gelato for FREE at the Taza Factory Store , noon until 3pm this Saturday

4. The Davis Square Flea Market opens this Sunday from 10-4. I doubt it will have real flea prices, but it should be a good time!

5. Get ready to visit me and Amanda at the Sowa Vintage Market on June 10th & the 17th. I want you to do some stretches, get sleep, brew some fresh coffee, put gas in your car, add money to your Charlie card and get jet set to see us next week!
