BFF of the Week: Amanda Buchanon

It was hard not to notice this group of excited ladies, snapping pics and showing off their new stuff. In the center, Amanda was holding up her newly purchased map from vintage postcard and print maestro (and professional cat massager!) Lon Black (booth #28, right up front) for her excited and giggling friends. We had to get in there.

What's your name?
Amanda Buchanon.

I see you bought a map of Brooklyn. Did you find your house? Are you from around here?
No, I live in Western Pennsylvania.

What are you doing in Brooklyn?
I'm visiting my friend who's an artist. She has a studio in Clinton Hill.

What are you going to do with your map?
I'm going to frame it and hang it. I have a framed photograph of the Brooklyn Bridge too.

Are you working a Brooklyn motif?
Not necessarily. I just like the antique look. I wasn't looking for it but I saw these maps when I walked in and then he gave me a great deal.

What else did you get here?
I also bought some McClure's Pickles and some of his [brand new] Bloody Mary mix. McClure was my mother's maiden name so I had to.

Perfect. You love your mom. You love pickles. It's a good tribute to both.
Bloody Marys, that's what I love. Grandma will get the pickles.

Thanks Amanda!
