OKLA Pickin'

2010-11-10T09:29:00.000-08:00

I think the most common question asked the past week in regards to the store was, "Where did you guys get all this stuff?" First, I am not sure if "stuff" applies to new products or the older stuff. I can only assume that they mean the ladder.

The truth be told is that we find this stuff everywhere. We've found stuff in barns, outhouses, flea markets, estate sales, from Pasadena to Moore, Oklahoma. However, anyone can buy old stuff at these places. Our goal is to find unique objects, clothes, art, that works with what we are going for with our store. Hopefully, you guys agree.

Here are some pictures from spaces we've gone and found some stuff.

NOTE : these pics are as is...meaning, they aren't propped, staged etc. this is true pickin' my friends

Who wants to buy some weird Ipad case at the apple store?? After spending thousands of dollars on your macbooks and ipads, it sometimes makes sense to buy the accessories there too because there is no other place to go. Fear not my friends, we've got ya covered...pun intended I guess.

We just received our batch of ipad and macbook covers from the The Good Flock and they look great! Stop by Nov. 4 to check out for yourself. Until then, here are some pics to giv eyou an idea of what to expect.

Long before gas-guzzling Western capitals did something of a backpedal by implementing safer bike lanes and investing in bike-for-hire schemes, Adam McDermott and Chad Kushner, the South African founders of Linus Bikes, spent years traveling bicycle-centric cities in Europe and Asia. “We loved the simple, utilitarian bikes we’d find in other countries,” McDermott says, “and wished there was a similar urban bike-as-transportation culture back home.” Inspired by the elegant but basic designs of French city bikes of the ’50s and ’60s, Linus achieves the aesthetic of a modern vintage cycle: straight, clean lines, monochromatic colors and no excessive logos. Its new bicycle carryalls — crafted from wax canvas, oilskin leather and solid brass hardware that is designed to age nicely — are saddle bags you want.
