bye bye shoes.


After some deliberation, we have decided not to carry shoes any longer. The stores are just too teeny and there are just too many new things we want to try. So, you might want to hop to and take advantage of this situation, toot SWEET. There is still a great selection as we just got a bunch of new shipments and we made this decision like 10 minutes ago. Ready...GO!

(The only exception is the shearling Sven's, which we have carried for over 4 years and will continue to carry.)

a pic of some styles, to give you a taste:

I came across this site while innocently looking for a cake stand. The work is amazing. It's also one stop shopping for your absinthe fountain needs. Or perhaps you are in the market for a glass spinning wheel.

single studs: silver $28, gold $40

brand new at catbird only. lower case alphabet studs (and one li'l heart), sold individually in silver or 14k gold. they are teeny tiny, and, most importantly, all lower case. (ee cummings fan here.)

i've been working on them for a while with the help of the awesomely talented max steiner and maggie stevenson. people are diggin' them and we are pleased as punch. (we think they make nicely personalized gifts.)

now available on line as well as at the bedford location.
(new feature: if you live in new york and you want to save on shipping - or maybe you need an excuse to come visit us - you can order on line and pick up at either store!)

cuts like a knife.


Aaron from digby & iona is always up to something. This new, retractable knife necklace makes me wonder what that something is. I'm going to wear it and imagine that I am way more bad-ass than I am.

Now at the Bedford Ave store. Watch out.

mink pink.

Here is just a tiny teaser taste of the new stuff from Mink Pink, our favorite new line out of Australia. (Which, by the way, looks like the most annoying movie ever, if you ask me.)

The jacket? Ziggy Stardust makes out, okay shakes hands with, a young-ish Michael Jackson. $86. The dress? Lady Chatterly makes a Very Special Appearance on Dallas. $80. And I swear - no one will ever know. Unless you tell them - which you should.

(These items, already at the MOST recession-busting prices, are still on sale thru this weekend.)

hats off, keith.

Mounted spider webs. Insane.
There's that claw that I love.
Stigmata earrings. How have you lived this long without them?
Shark tooth necklaces by Poupette - a new find.

Sooo much new stuff in. Come see in person.

lucky me.


One of our favorite pieces by one of our favorite designers. The Fairy Absinthe spoon, inspired by Toulouse Lautrec, natch. Scoop it up in the store or right here.

Former catbird employee, Melanie Cohen, is doing some fine work with glamorous headgear. Now that winter is upon us, she is showing us her chops again - this time in glamour AND coziness. Assorted options are now at the Bedford store. (Arden Wohl, known for putting a thing or two on her head, picked one up this weekend at Catbird.)

Also great for Meryl Streep fans, such as myself.

This is apropro of nothing, except who couldn't use a good laugh? It is perhaps the funniest thing I have ever read on the Information Superhighway. Everyone I recommended it to agreed, so you should hop to. Remember, laughter adds...what is it...7 minutes to your life? That should give you enough tim to thank me later.

Impossibly thin flasks, perfect for sneakin' the hooch in. Now at Bedford.

Way to bring it folks. I especially love the applauding. Just a general huge round of applause. Fantastic.

HOORAY!!

new camera.

I got me a fancy new camera and I had the lovely Bedford store model for me. Here are some new things in the store right now:


We are proud to be Blue. And hope to be prouder tomorrow.
Card by the La Familia Green.

BillyKirk bags. Hand crafted by Amish craftsmen and women.

As I have said before, we have a LOT of cashmere.


Leather pouches that attach to your belt.

Look at these great rings by Kimberlin Brown.


Super special, gorgeous Afghani necklace. Unlike anything else in the store.


The very handsome and stately Leather Mahogany Kobo candle posing with a new claw dish that I am crazy about. And a little compass key chain that is quite a hit in our North Eastern corner.

more to come...

oh!


Dear Universe,
Please send me these shoes. Please.
Thanks,

halloweenies.

Williamsburg gets pretty festive for All Hallow's Eve. Here are some of the cute trick or treaters that came a'knockin. Thanks to Leigh for the pics.

I have an out-of-porportion fear of sharks, but i could totes hang with this guy.



fanny packs.

It's kind of hard to explain how great this new find is. Little leather pouches (about 4" x 5") with loops in the back to attach to your belt, (or your bike as Deirdre astutely pointed out). These babies are not messin' around. The brass hardware is old-timey, the leather is Grade A, the stitching top notch. Excellent when going for an intrepid explorer look.

A gorgeous assortment of styles and colors arrived at the Bedford location today. Along with more cozy, cashmere, cold-weather gear you could possibly imagine.
