BRIC-A-BRAC

i'm on a roll. lol

while in NC, i was able to browse inside Time After Time, a vintage thrift shop located within the grounds (i think) of where Michael Jordan used to walk, which is UNC. i was thrilled coz according to their website, they were "voted one of 25 Best Vintage Clothing Stores in USA." they sold some boy scout shirts that i liked but they were still a bit expensive for me. i should prolly be looking for a cheap as dirt vintage thrift shop.lol

got this from their facebook

the next shop was sorta gift shop specializing in... gift...ideas. i think. they had this soy candle called Isle of Candles where you can use the melted part as lotion. it's kinda cool and they had one under a light so some of it's sorta melted and i put some on my skin. it was not greasy or waxy, and the scent lasted for 48years.lol it would make a unique gift this Christmas.



next door was a comic book shop. nothing spectacular. no Pugad Baboy sold there.

before we went to NC, i was at the Christmas bazaar in Bryant Park. all pictures i had of that was taken using my Holga so i need to wait for the whole roll of film to be used up before i can have it processed and shown to the world.lol my cousins bought this paper wallet from Dynomighty that claims to be "made from a single folded sheet of a strong micro fiber material (Tyvek®) that is tear and water resistant, super strong and incredibly long lasting. This innovative wallet design has no stitching and instantly adjusts to a custom fit."  i like that it's eco-friendly using 25% post consumer materials and 100% recyclable but it was still a bit pricey for me at $15 plus tax so i just bought the luggage tags at $5 plus tax for ten pieces. now i'm pressured to travel. lol




                                        
the bag tag

off Bryant Park is the New York Public Library. as a Sex and the City fan, this is an important place to go, not to read books but, to have your picture taken at the grand staircase where Carrie got stood up by Mr. Big on their wedding day. now i have to wait for my film but i did get a picture taken in front of the building.


then we went to the Gaga's Workshop at Barneys

then a quick stop at Wollman Rink in Central Park
