Longtime design gurus, hunters and gatherers, and generally all-around lovely people, Jaclyn Joslin and Addison Ford, have opened a charming new spot in the antique district at 45th Street and State Line. Their shop, Afternoons, is a well-curated collection of antiques, vintage, and new items that have depth of character without shouting.
Their selections range from antiques to midcentury art to—yes, my new obsession—art pottery. Whether you are furnishing your first home, freshening your family’s dwelling, or sprucing up your empty nest, Afternoons is a great spot to visit.
