vintage holiday shopping in williamsburg

I am always looking for affordable, extraordinary & meaningful gifts for friends, family and colleagues, especially with the holidays approaching.  We have the grooviest vintage shops here in Williamsburg, just a short L train ride under the East River.  I recently had my grandfather's Rolex tweeked right here in the hood by Leo De La Cruz right on N. 7th street.  He has a GORGEOUS selection of vintage watches that are guaranteed to run like new.  1:46 Watch Repair & Designer Collective 146 N. 7th Street

Also, for fashion/shoes/tea on Sunday at 4PM with AMAZING baked goods by the owner herself, stylist Malin Landeaus 155 N. 6th street @ Bedford Ave

My favorite Street Vendor on N. 6th and Bedford, she has THE BEST prices for vintage jewelry and always fabulous finds.

 

Bedford Cheese Shop of course is amazing for the absolute best cheese, salami's, chocolate and everything yummy.  Amy's baguette is a favorite as well as the Napoli Bagette for just $1.50

more to come on Ugly Luggage, Amarcord, Whisk & Moon River Chatel.......

Turntable Tuesday

~ Ted Ganung

For this week of Turntable Tuesday I bring you one of my favorite Tech House tracks that is one of the most beautiful electronic music compositions I have ever heard, Callisto (Joris Voorn Remix.) The uplifting synth has so much feeling and emotion that it reminds the listener how much of the human element can still be captured within electronic music. The composition makes you feel as though every element within the track is so organic that it is not just a sterile loop, but each beat and accent is subtly changing as though performed live. Each layer adds more texture and movement as though it was originally written out on staff paper. The "Synthapella" (the synth with no beat) was later released and still charted as a top ten song because it is just so moving. Of course the song begins with a very simple two minutes of just beat, like most house tracks, this is part of the arrangement that gives the DJ time to properly blend two tracks into one. So for our purposes you may want to start the song at two minutes to skip the intro.

This past weekend was picture perfect for our ceremony at Bonnet Island Estate on the Jersey Shore.  The location was rustic and chic to fit this lovely bride & groom from Brooklyn.  The boathouse where the ceremony took place was completely infused with the scent of fresh lavender.

Their ceremony was classic with a little whimsy.
