shoe shop shopping

while staying the week in new york, doing lots of snuggling with these cats


(among other things, of course -- including lots of inspired stitching)
i happened to notice that my very favourite store-front on greenpoint's (brooklyn) manhattan avenue is for rent:


oh my goodness. please, someone cool, rent this place and make it great. keep the awning! keep the signage! call the shop "paris shoe"! (and, as a bonus, the cafe next-door serves delicious croissants!)
