or at least that's what i told the clerks at land of nod yesterday. i had never been in there and b. and i were wandering around looking for that perfect piece of furniture to hold up the sink. the kids stores sometimes have smaller stuff which would work. they didn't have furniture we needed, but oh my god the stuff they had is so adorable, and while i'm not inclined to breed, if i had a kid i'd want to drop some serious cash in there. lots of great stuff.

i caved in to the pressure of the knitting giraffes. there was more adorable art - having said that it's probably more than i'd spend in general on a glicee print under normal circumstances. there are many places online you can find beautiful signed silkscreens for $20.

but my favorite thing (aside from the general vibe of good music, beautiful lighting, and some great vintage toys) were the quilts. there was a girl's quilt covered in doll dresses . Completely adorable.

we didn't find the sink stand yet. i think we've settled on making something. but when you spend months looking for what you need, at every store known to man, it gets disheartening. everything and nothing is a possibility. we broke down in to crazy giggling walking back to the car. "THAT could be a sink stand! just take the garbage can and flip it over!, NO NO, here's a pile of wood! NO! better yet! if we took that chair and put styrofoam containers on it...." post shopping stress syndrome.
