We stumbled upon these Flickr photos from Stacey Elkin, who will be opening her RedLipstick boutique at 390 Van Brunt Street in Red Hook, probably in September. To see her wares, you can stop by her existing store in Prospect Heights at 560 Vanderbilt Avenue, or check out her Etsy shop. Ms. Elkin told us that, at least for now, she will keep both stores open. As for why she’s opening store number two, Ms. Elkin said, “I stumbled across the storefront at 390 Van Brunt while in Red Hook to get a piece of cake at Baked, and it is my dream storefront in every way, so I rented it!” It’s nice to see a small neighborhood business succeed so much that it can set up shop in two shops!
