I spent a day in Brooklyn with my friend Angela of POST27 store a couple of weeks ago and found so many lovely places that I had to share: First up: our friend Tara of SPROUT HOME.

Take a look at these cute animal photo’s! I can’t stop looking at these and smiling.Animals are the best and the husband and wife duo (Sharon + Spencer) have made a living photographing these cuddly, cute and stoic animals.

I think I might have to pick one of these up, the only problem is, which one? They are all so good! Check out…
