Los Angeles Real Estate for the Design Conscious

BROOK FARM GENERAL STORE

Christmas is upon us.  Great Gifts at the Brook Farm General Store

Via SAVILE -- One of our favorite shops over in Williamsburg moved to their own proper online shop last month and we couldn't be happier. They've got a terrific selection of homewares and curiosities, but are probably most well known for Tourne, their own line of nicely conceived and crafted products for the home. Tourne's Woolen blankets, made from locally sourced virgin wool, have particularly been making the rounds this early winter.
