Allston Rock City

It never fails.
Whenever I wear this vintage necklace my mom sent me from her shop,
someone will stop to ask me about it.
I may need to stop wearing it if I'm running for the train.

My mom's shop is Grape in the Shade in Washington Depot, CT.
Stop in if you love to shop vintage and you're in her neck of the woods.
***Update Summer 2016***
Mom closed her shop. Let me know if you want info if she opens an online store.
