    The Runcible Spoon

    February 28, 2010

    I came in this morning to find a stack of this cool food zine called The Runcible Spoon. It is edited by Malaka of thegrandinterational.com. 

    A small stack in Treasury foyer right now.  Love this idea! And I can’t wait to try this salted radish bruschetta  recipe. Perhaps a prominent food co-op is in our future ?

    The Remix

    February 9, 2010

    We are saddened by the news that the owner of The Remix, Stacey DiTata, has been suddenly diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and The Remix is closing as a result. We know that The Remix has added so much to the appreciation of vintage clothing in Capitol Hill and in the entire D.C. area. We will miss it’s presence and wish the best of luck to the team under these circumstances.  Here is the statement on their website:

    THE REMIX TO CLOSE BY FEB 28, 2010
    It is with great sadness that we must announce the closing of The Remix. The Washington DC metro area has been the home to our store for over 8 years and we have loved every minute shared with our customers. We hope that our passion for vintage clothing has inspired creativity as well as an endearment to fashions past.
    Unfortunately, the owner and proprietor of The Remix, Stacey DiTata has been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Celiac. For more information about MS please visit http://www.nationalmssociety.org
    To help with Stacey’s medical bills directly please feel free to send funds through paypal to arynne_crane@yahoo.com or send a check or money order to
    The Remix
    c/o Arynne Crane
    645 Pennsylvania Ave SE
    Washington, DC 20002
    and I will make sure the funds get to Stacey and her family.
    Additionally, all employees of The Remix will be unemployed and in the job market. Please remember them for any positions you may have available in your network.

    Style Shots: Jian & John

    February 3, 2010

    Jian DeLeon of Peasant Status and John Thornley of US Royalty stopped in and we couldn’t help but admire their classic sense of style. Their plan for the evening was to have a gentleman’s night of whiskey, bbq, ping pong and clothing trades, the brainchild of John’s brother, Paul. Jian is a regular and we admire how he picks pieces that are both timeless and look to be tailor-made for him.

    Both the corduroy blazer sported by Jian and the navy peacoat on John are available in-store.

    B. McGee

    February 1, 2010

    Meet our new employee: B. McGee. She looks amazing in just a bow-tie or scarf. She came all the way from Flatonia, Texas. If you are ever in the Lone Star State, you gotta stop by Lucky Find Antiques. The owners are incredibly sweet and helpful.

    Ok, working a little slow here on the internet, our apologies. Check out the latest fashion shots over at The President Wears Prada. This time we paired up with Redeem’s stylin’ wears to show how much fun and creativity can go into matching the old and the new. Stay tuned for a smashing Spring event following the same concept…

    January 14, 2010

    Going Green DC just posted a sweet little article about Kristen. She is working real hard to spread the word on upcycling with vintage and salvaged scraps and bits that would otherwise become landfill. You have see the corset she mentioned in person. Thanks, Going Green and Maria.

    Style Shots: Ronia Coats

    December 21, 2009

    Ronia’s big sister Anoko is a fantastic stylist as you can see from this photo! Anoko quickly whipped together this amazing all-Treasury 1880s meets the 1920s outfit! It reminded us of the fashion in The Young Victoria (see it!) where the collars and flares on the jackets made us wish for a Victorian revival for men as well.

    Friend/Readers,

    We have 5 pairs of passes for an exclusive pre-screening of The Young Victoria, starring Emily Blunt. The buzz is hot on this and you know Treasury loves a good period piece.  Email us at info@shoptreasury.com if you would like to attend the screening and the pre-party at the Ritz beforehand:

    From Academy Award Winners Graham King and Martin Scorsese, along with the makers of Gosford Park and The Departed, comes THE YOUNG VICTORIA, the story of Queen Victoria’s early rise to power.
     
    On the eve of her 18thBirthday and succession to the English throne, young Princess Victoria (Emily Blunt) is caught in a royal power struggle. But it is her blossoming love affair with Albert (Rupert Friend) that will determine the strength of her reign.
