Okay everyone, now I know what all of the love, hype, obsession, and devotion are all about… I finally became enveloped by JILL LINDSEY and basically am a convert to her entire way of everything. Her flagship store in Fort Greene is not only relaxing with its art, crafts, and elements of nature, but there’s a charming cafe and bar in the back full of very yummy things that all of us Brooklynites like, and a spa/salon downstairs. Gulp. This is a special place. She hosts regular childrens’ sing-a-longs, tarot card readings, workshops in tons of fun stuff, and much more. And, on top of it all, she’s one of the sweetest, most beaming people ever, who believes in conscious living, sustainability, helping mothers with their start-up businesses, and representing designers who are true rare gems. She whole-heartedly welcomes families into the store, and as you can see in her events calendar, there are fun classes for children. Take a look at the December Calendar…
