post No.248 Brooklyn Rehab

I am experiencing a bit of coolness overload, now that I have discovered Brooklyn Rehab. It is a line made of vintage and found objects reclaimed to perfection. I love love love (and want) these numbered napkin rings! Oh what I would do with these little stylers for Thanksgiving dinner -if I had a big long table!

Also pictured: the NYC souvenir, a ceramic owl, walnut wood key, and the whale plaque. You can find more of their line, right here.
