Sewing pros and novices alike know that the selvedge (or self-edge) is always unused. It is there to prevent the fabric from fraying and act as sort of a border as the fabric is being woven (or knit!).  So what to do with the left overs…? Jeffrey rolled them up and tossed them in this […]

One of the first ideas I had for the store was to use branches for the garment racks. I have always loved birch trees and I would collect small branches, or pieces of trunk to keep for a rainy day to craft with. I started to see wood grain patterns appearing everywhere from fabric to […]

With all of this wedding buzz in the air (no I’m not getting married – Oy vey, right?!) I wanted to share these pictures from the wedding of a very good friend of mine. Kit and I met at FIT and actually lived together for the last year at school. She is one of the […]

Anatomy participated in our first trade show this past weekend, Brides World! It was at the convention center on Sunday and boy was it fun!! We met so many new people and some old friends were there as well!! Here’s our little booth!! I really wanted to bring as much of the store to the […]

When we were able to drive into the city on Tuesday morning we were slightly surprised to still see side streets unplowed and taxis and cars left abandoned. I mean, seriously NYC!?

So it’s 4:15 and Christmas Eve. I’m just closing up the shop now but taking a second to sit and look around. It hasn’t even felt like Christmas until just now when I was left alone with my thoughts (and the Christmas music in the background). I’ve been so consumed with this new venture that […]

You may be asking yourself – man?! I thought anatomy was a woman’s retail store! Well we do have a few little things that are for the boys! And I’m not talking just to the guys who like their houses to smell like Creamsicles!! We carry a high end line of genuine leather accessories that […]

This great gift idea comes from Jeff Todd, intern extraordinaire. I visited anatomy this morning in hot pursuit of the the most stressful sort of gift: the secret santa present for the one person in the office you know the least about. I hate it when that happens. What to do? Aha! Take one handmade […]

Recycling is so out. Upcycling is uptrending. According to Wiki, Upcycling is the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or a higher environmental value.  Now, these jewels won’t necessarily improve the environment as much as they are a definite upgrade in quality compared to your […]
