DRUNK ON THE MOON

Sunday, November 4, 2012
 I have been wanting to visit this store for a while now and on Saturday we got the chance ....
Drunk on the Moon in Newtown (don't you just love the name, it's named after the Tom Waits song) is a treasure chest of really good, well selected pieces at very affordable prices,
 plus I love the owner Matt's philosophy  ......
(I'm so choosy where and who I buy from these days)














  these two tables ended up coming home with us 
 unfortunately not for me to keep (I'm sourcing items for a friends cafe)
although I'm having second thoughts about the smaller one, it's so lovely ......


.... oh and don't you just love the business card
.... think there may be lots more visits to come !!!

you can check out the website here

OK, I want to move into this bookstore, I could quite happily live in this loft style space with it's great floors, windows, amazing retro furniture, not to mention all those books !!!















The space actually reminds me a lot of one of my favorite bookstores in Sydney, Ariel booksellers there are some photos of it in this post.
