We have some new styles from Veganwares. All of their shoes are handmade and re sole able. Choose from the Fred or the Ava or any of their other styles.

Can you believe spring has already hit if you are part of the shoe world? Simple has released some of their spring collection. Along with being 100% sustainable the Satire Sneaker is 100% cute.

We also have some new bag and wallet styles from Queenbee. Everything from Queenbee is handmade in Portland, Oregon. Their stuff is built to last. We love the Intersect in Brown and Black. We also love the Orbit Wallet in Black and Yellow.

Cookbooks, we love them. Two fabulous ones have just hit our shelves, Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero's Veganomicon and Colleen Patrick-Goudreau's Joy of Vegan Baking.

It is with great sadness that we tell you about the passing of one of our store kitties, Edith. If you have ever visited our store the feline you most likely grew the tightest with was Edith. She was one that made a bed of your jacket the second you put it on the bench or the one that insisted on some loving before checking out. We adopted her with her sister 6 years ago. Since she brought us so much joy we think the best way to commemorate her is to feature some non human animals we know that are currently looking for homes.

Ezra was found in a parking lot in Brooklyn. He was found with 14 others. All of the others have been adopted out so that just leaves him. He is about 10 months old. He gets along very well with others, dogs, cats, humans, etc.. He is a little shy but once he knows you he really loves you. He spends most of his time rolling around laps purring uncontrollably. He has been fixed and has a clean bill of health. If you would like to meet this guy, please email Justin at jlamb777@gmail.com



Blossom and Troy are Looking for a New Home... Troy is a gorgeous white and tan red nosed pit bull, about 3 or 4 years old. Blossom, a bit older, is a soulful boxer-pit mix with soft eyes and a beautiful brindle coat. Since they were pups, both lived in a chaotic Bronx household (that included 10 kids ranging in age from a few months to 20 years old) and are therefore extremely good with people. Unfortunately, due to the family's carelessness, Troy was involved in a tragic incident with a Yorkshire terrier which resulted in the NYC health department seizing both dogs. Thank goodness for Amy Trakinski and Len Egert, lawyers extraordinaire who worked tirelessly pro bono non the less to gain the dogs' release only to find that Troy and Blossom had been abandoned by their family. Determined not to give up on the dogs, Amy and Len were able to have them released to the Putnam County Humane Society (in upstate NY) until a home or homes can be found. Everyone at the Humane Society fell in love with these two pups and after everything they've been through we all would love to see them kept together. However, if great individual homes can be found we all agree that it wouldn't be fair to the dogs to pass them up.

Thanks to anyone who can offer any assistance. If you'd like more information or are interested in meeting Blossom and/or Troy please contact Amy at atrak@aol.com or Len at lenegert@aol.com
