Megan's Ring!

Megan just took the wax/metal class and we love the ring she made!

Penelope!

Penelope came all the way from the U.K. to pay us a visit. I had to get a photo of this adorable gal in baby vamp rings & hot, hot nail polish. Love you, Penelope!!!

Jeff Barnett-Winsby Visits Bittersweets!

And he took some photos of the shop! Look at more photos by Jeff : http://jbwphoto.com/

2 Years on Broadway! Here's the party pics.

Thanks to Hope for getting a ton of Kiehl's samples. They gave us lottsa goodies for our pinata.



BEST beeer in Brooklyn!!!














The pinata fell to the ground and didn't break after the first hit, and so we played "baseball pinata" with it, (notice the lack of blindfold). That did the trick. I love the cigarette in the mouth whilst batting. Thanks Sunnie & friend, for being in charge of that activity.

Sweet baby Uli and Erica. They came in the shop the first week we were open. We loooove them!

He's Back!

Sometime the next day, after walking in and out of the shop numerous times, I'd been hearing him "peep-peeping" all day, when finally, I see him perched on our basil plant ready to hop right back into the shop. I took the extra opportunity to snap another close-up. I watched mama bird fly down to feed through the crack in the door and the next day he was gone.

I always knew it was a ZOO over here, but this is ridiculous!

I was mopping the floor on my hands and knees for a particularly rough patch (thanks bunny,) and I looked up to find this adorable baby bird no less than two feel away! I grabbed my camera and took a photo! I wrapped him in tissue and left him out under the tree in front of the shop.

James The Cat!

Link for cartoon here!

An adorable gal came into Bittersweets and commented that there was a cartoon with a big white cat named James! We looked it up on youtube and sure enough, it is this awesome cartoon with a hilarious theme song about James the cat getting fat! How appropriate!

And here's our James. See any resemblance?

Woke Up the Bunny!

This is Bunny's favorite spot to sleep. But he is easily disturbed! Poor Buns!

Carroterminator

When the bunny eats carrots he gets a cute orange beard. Just thought you'd want to know...

Kit Keith...

had her art at Bittersweets with a show called "Runaway Daughter," and people would walk in off the street to look at the "BIG BABY" hanging on our back wall. You can't tell by the photo, but the painting is huge. We love you Kit!

Valentine's Day ('06) at Burrow

A Very Bittersweets Halloween!

This Halloween party (2005) was when Bittersweets was over at Burrow on Crosby st. Hope & Ben won the best his/her costume prizes which seemed a little fishy, but don't look at me... Caroline was the judge! But really, they did have the best costumes. Ben had to stand outside the whole night because he couldn't fit his, uhh..."tree" through the narrow staircase. Hunter S. Thompson showed up which was nice of him to make an appearance since he'd been dead for a while... And we're not sure what David was because he always looks like a million bucks. Seen below is Hope in her award winning "Yellow Ribbon" costume, & Trish is always cute, but especially as a blood sucking prom queen.




A Bloody Cake!

A Not So Blurry Hand...

went to Big Sur and posed for a very elegant photo. We still like the other photo, mostly because there's a very robust sightseer in the majestic backround. Thanks I & D! xoxo

And a giant fleshy blurry hand bound by gold emerged from the gate...

We received this curious email with a phohto and the caption above. It looks like our Vampress Ring was deployed to a strange land for a fair maiden's hand. She must have said, "Yes!" Congratulations Ian and Diana!

pants!

This is Julee's fish. We are babysitting him until she gets back from Brazil. Caroline named him "Pants." He's really cute and he seems to get along with the bunny.

Hope

The beautiful Hope Gangloff takes a break from painting. She created the "Weeping Willow vs. Whooping Crane" mural on the West wall.

Bodie Chewning: Mural Madness!

This is Bodie standing on a precarious banister near the north wall of the store. See the skkylight above his head? That's the sun coming in at 7 am. He worked nearly 48 hours, non-stop. Bodie is one of the most talented artists we know. He collaborated with his wife Ruth and Aaron Cantor to create this killer mural for the opening of Aaron's show at Bittersweets, Friday Sept 28.
