Sewingpalooza

This is far too short, I'm sure, to count as my post for the week- but for right now, it's all I've got :) I'll post more later, but to get things rolling this week, I'd thought I'd share a few photos. (Found online from other blogs)

I was in Boston for the first time this weekend, walking down Newbury Street, and I absolutely fell in love with this storefront. The store is called Allsaints Spitalfields, and from what I hear/what I found online they sell super cute/trendy clothes, (pretty expensive) and there are locations all over- Boston, Chicago, LA, Miami etc. The store is based out of the UK, but from what I got from the website, the US headquarters are in New Jersey.

Anyway, the store windows are lined with antique singer sewing machines. I LOVE this! I think it's so interesting and modern, but with such an interesting touch considering the pieces are all antiques.

From far away (across the street) it looks super industrial, and then close up you get a nostalgic feeling like you're staring at something your grandmother had. What a combo!

For the rest of the weekend I kept an eye out for other interesting storefronts, but the only thing close I noticed was the wall of baseballs in the window of the ticket office at Fenway. Interesting, but predictable. (Sorry, I don't have a photo of that.)
