The store carries items for the kitchen, clothing and funky accessories, retro-style housewares, pet couture, candles, stationery, and - in the back - a large selection of unique toys, books, clothes for moms and kiddies. - Nickelodeon Parents Connect

  • Sassy, sexy aprons shrug off sexism, tie on a trend

    April 17, 2010

    When Kate Linehan ties on her apron, she feels a bit like Super Woman slipping into her cape. Behind that flutter of fabric, Linehan is empowered and ready to take on any task. "I love aprons so much. I love their functionality. They create a sense of being in control. You put on the apron and you are ready to go," said the 26-year-old apron collector and creator from Aspen. Recession, nostalgia and, yes, girl power are fueling a trend that has women of all ages and interests tying on aprons. These aprons may serve as spill catchers, hand wipers and garden-tool holders. But they are also fashion statements. "Hip" and "hot" are adjectives often used to describe today's aprons..."Aprons have definitely become a popular item," said Jill Jones at Decade, a trendy South Broadway gift store where pretty often trumps practicality when it comes to apron purchases.

  • Top of the Town 2009

    July 2009

    Top Maternity Wear - Editor’s Choice. "Decade’s selection of baby-bump duds trends toward fashionable and fun. But let’s be honest: The low price tag is really the key. After all, these clothes have an oh-so-short wearing season. Of course, there are other places in town to buy cute, high-quality maternity clothes, but unless you hit them during a sale, the receipt reads more like a mortgage statement than an afternoon shopping trip." - 5280 Magazine

What the rooms lack in size, they make up for in style, with funky leopard-skin carpet, for-sale refurbished chairs, exposed-brick walls, and huge mirrors. Ogling the local artwork hanging behind you? That’s for sale, too." - 5280 Magazine
