There will be a line down the block and it will be a total shit show. You might have a panic attack. That being said there are some crazy fun things to find at this sample sale. Last year I got my lawn ornament flamingo that lives in my kitchen and for reasons unknown to me I always refer to it as a swan. Now I have a lawn ornament flamingo tattoo! They are friends.
I will see you there, literally because the warehouse is right across from my apartment. Have fun and let me know what you get!

In God We Trust (70 Greenpoint Ave) is having a serious jewelry sale this weekend, which starts… Now, but officially it’s open to the public on Saturday 8/25 from 12-8pm.
Its technically in Greenpoint, just across the BQE and before Richardson, and its technically awesome. Slow Fax is a new vintage clothing store on Graham, still in the 11222. With colorful signage and confetti glittering the sidewalk, this store is approachable from the outside and fall-in-loveable once you get in.
Karla, Owner of SLOWFAX
Karla, shop owner, is not only pinch her cheeks adorable and a sweetheart, but she knows how to buy vintage clothes that look contemporary and not like you raided granny’s closet. They also sell new designer goods, magazines, records and amazing artwork.
Its good vibes and good shopping.
Q & A with Karla from SLOWFAX:
GP: Where are you from?
K: I was born in central Brazil but moved to SF when I was just itsy bitsy.
GP: How did you find yourself in NY?
K: The people are good and I grew impatient with west coast living.
GP: Why Greenpoint?
K: Greenpoint’s charms are reminiscent of the Northwest which is were I most recently moved from but with a faaaaar more diverse culture. Love it.
GP: You stay open until 12am?
K: I’m a night owl, I can’t be the only one, right? …plus sometimes you’re out, you hate your outfit, and I thought wouldn’t be great if there was a spot to change en route?
