Seems a lot of fun was had at the opening event last night: https://m.facebook.com/pages/Martines-Dream/214348430971?id=214348430971&refsrc=https://www.facebook.com/pages/Martines-Dream/214348430971

Looks like the owner is a young, talented brooklyn based designer who can cater to populations new and old.This is just the kind of business I'd love to see more of on the avenue. Was the nostrand ave merchants association involved in making this happen?

Also, Anyone know what was at 681 nostrand before?

Stopped in on Saturday. Tons of lovely scarves, throws, wraps and quilts from all over the world, plus jewelry and other items like handmade leather journals. Prices are pretty affordable (lots of items for less than $100 - including silks).

I'd encourage folks to drop in...
