carousel & candy
Went to this amazing letterpress sale and was wondering around Dumbo with Anne when we happened upon Jane's carousel. My friend Saralee has been working on the restoration, but seeing the piece in person was probably the hidden gem of the day. Anne and I were quite excited about the whole thing.
My film is still being developed but I have these polaroids to share…

Thanks everyone for all the great comments & enthusiastic response.
Say hi to SaraLee–she did a great job on the restoration.
Come back & visit the Carousel–it’s open for viewing & picture taking every Fri.,Sat. & Sun.–12:00-5:00.
Hopefully it will be set up in a fabulous pavillion in Brooklyn Bridge Park & everyone will be able to ride it.
Thanks again, Jane
