The time has come to close up shop. We were so lucky to have had the opportunity to call 12W Willowgrove our home for the past 3 months. We are going to miss this space and everyone who helped make this a success! Thank you to all of our supporters and to Chestnut Hill for welcoming our business with open arms. We had a blast! Stay tuned for great things to come! Swing by the shop this Friday, Saturday and Sunday 11-5 to say hello and enjoy our big sale!
You’ve heard of the Punk Rock Flea Market? Well, this is the design flea and book swap! We are so excited to be hosting a happy hour for Philadelphia’s creative community, PhilaMade on Tuesday February 7th from 6:30-9:00.
Bring a few well loved, but gently worn design volumes and swap with your friends in the PhilaMade community. While you’re here you are welcome to peruse our collection of design books, posters and other design paraphernalia. (Follow us and PhilaMade on twitter to get a sneak peak of the collection that is coming in).
Brought to you by our sponsors MissionStaff and Jacobson Strategic Communications.
And, once again, thanks to Mr. Greg Christman for the awesome event graphic.

Good things are happening at the shop! Our open house was a big hit — so much fun that we decided to have another one on Sunday December 18th from 4-7pm. We will have a new stock of one-of-a-kind gifts, Zsa’s Gourmet Ice Cream Truck, music, refreshments, waffles and HAIRCUTS! John Scioli from John’s Old School New Skool Barber Shop will be setting up his shop in our shop to perform haircuts and shaves!
Our inventory changes pretty much daily — and I wanted to share some of the fun new things that we get to play with around the shop. Enjoy the new photos and be sure to swing by to say hello! Our shop hours are Wednesday 11am – 9pm, Thursday – Sunday 11a – 6pm, closed Monday and Tuesday.
Join us this Friday from 5-8 for our holiday open house party. Come mingle with the designers and the collectors of Nomad and enjoy jazz, fresh waffles and beer! Hope to see you there!
We had our opening day on November 25th – black Friday! The weather has been so amazing that we have been able to keep the front doors open. It’s been so great to see old friends and meet new people from around the neighborhood. Thanks to all who have come out to support the shop and spread the word!

Kim Grant of Mockingbird Moon. My earliest memories are those of communing with nature – touching the velvety petals of a rose for the first time; building a fort under an old lilac bush in which to hide from my siblings, read and write poetry; picking raspberries in the backyard of our German immigrant neighbors; staring mesmerized with time seemingly standing still, as ants maniacally danced inside a peony blossom. I focus my attention on bringing the exterior world indoors, and communicating my interior world out, using the natural world and imagery as my language. Building tabletop gardens in which to get lost, making collages of found objects and taking photographs everyday are ways I commune and share the beauty and magic I sense, and appreciate, around me everyday.
Currently works with found objects and reclaimed materials with a sustainable future in mind.
