PICKLEBOOTS: I’m not sure if PS shoppers are aware of this newish shop on Lincoln Place between 7th and 8th Avenues. The mainstay of the shop is handmade bedding, pillows and comforters for children’s room with a slightly vintage feeling.
This Christmas, Pickleboot’s owner, Melanie, has added interesting handmade gifts, as well as newly manufactured vintage toys from Schilling.
Melanie makes beautiful fabric bags to hold toys for toddlers like tool kits and other things. Definitely unusual and nice.
One of her best sellers is the Brooklyn Pillow, which is in the picture above. The front is a picture of a guitar with the words BROOKLYN underneath. The other side is fun guitar fabric. The price is $55.
Pickleboots is located at 178A Lincoln Place in Park Slope. 718-622-1200
TODAY’S GIFT OF THE DAY:
A troll jack-in-the-box ($21); Brooklyn pillow $(55); tool kit for toddlers in pretty fabric bag ($18).

Thanks for the information…I bookmarked your site, and I appreciate your time and effort to make your blog a success!
I like this place. I pass by it a lot and it seems really cute. I always support the smaller guy. Sometimes I feel like pulling people out of the Starbucks on 7th and telling them to go to the Tea Lounge.
