home sweet Homage

went to the Smith street festival this weekend. It looked way bigger than last year - lots more vendors. We saw a couple of our favorite vendors there, Brooklyn Revolution (Z got a Bob Marley and a Frida Kahlo shirt) and an artist that we all really like - sorry, don't know his name. But he makes paintings of little monsters in jars. Z has a small collection of his work.

One of our most favorite shops on Smith Street is Homage Skate Shop. This place is like home and the people that run it, treat you like family. Both my kids and BD got their skateboards there. The kids had theirs made specifically for them. The Homage shop sells all the gear you need for skate boarding, has a shop to assemble boards, and a juice bar to keep you hydrated and healthy. My kids took skate lessons there last summer. Homage continues to do awesome things in the community. If you are in NY I would highly recommend checking it out and meeting the family :) http://www.homagebrooklyn.com/
