What a day, yesterday! Can you tell? You can see even more snips and snaps on our Flickr.

Though it was nice, no more hills and trees for these pretty pieces who got to visit their new home: we styled the interior with our antiques and vintage pieces while listening to the First Lady of Song -- "I Love Paris," of course -- and Joaquin Sabina's "Whiskey sin Soda." Even the exterior got a little love with our brand "new" antique Schwinn bicycle.

And I'm sure he'd have waved hello from beyond those earrings, but our wonderfully talented friend Ovid Pope was hard at work taking actual photographs.

 

It was a lot of work but gussying up our little 1534 space was definitely worth it to be able to finally show off how beautifully the store is coming along -- so close to being done and ready for you all on July 11th!

If you're as anxious as we are, you can come soothe yourself a little at the Rose Bowl Flea Market tomorrow -- we'll be at space L02 in the orange section so don't miss us!

 Maybe it's shameless to say, but we just got a treasure chest -- literally! -- filled with things from India: weighty silver pieces, stones as delicious as candy, and soothing summer cottons and color; a truly fail-safe formula for the sun, don't you think?

Anyway, trotting around a hill playing with these goodies has got me beat so it's time to say goodnight from the yurt but if you have more stamina than me, feel free to visually feast at our Flickr or explore with your hands at the Rose Bowl Flea Market this Sunday! It'll be the only place where you can have a peak and a piece of what's to come at Tavin on Echo Park Ave.
