I LOVE This Store...



photo by Richard B. Migot

Once in a great while, you'll wander into a store and just want to buy every single thing in it. I'm talking completely redecorating your entire apartment or summer home according to the store's merchandise. Well, I've found such a store...LT Home. It's cute, it's quaint, reasonably priced and located in a historical house that was once a tavern (no wonder I felt at home!) in Sandisfield, MA. The owner of LT Home, Liana Toscanini, has created a gorgeous new space that features high ceilings, skylights, French doors, slate flooring and built-in bookshelves to showcase a variety of unique goodies.

But where is Sandisfield? Not far...take a drive. I highly recommend seeing the store in person. And if you can't spare a weekend drive in your hectic schedule, Liana, LT Home's fabulous owner, will be more than happy to assist you in aquiring any merchandise you may want to order. Tell her Tricia sent you...

Enjoy!

So You Wanna Be a Rockstar...

Well, you'll need a guitar...and I have the perfect place for you to contemplate your future rockstar-ness: Matt Umanov's guitar shop in the west village. Chances are, if you play the guitar already, you probably frequent this place to plot your next guitar conquest. I, myself, frequent it just to see what characters might possibly be strumming some tunes or to look at the variety of guitars they have in stock from vintage to new. Having grown up in a house full of guitars (I for a long time thought the names of the 7 dwarves were Fender, Gretsch, Gibson, Rickenbacker, Taylor, Martin, and Epiphone), I get a little bit of "home" each time I walk in that place. I also get to check out how much the 1965 Fender Jaquar my Dad sold for nothing is worth...and cry.

If you want to sigh over some great vintage and brand new guitars or fulfill that rockstar dream, check out Matt Umanov's guitar shop...
