Top Secret

Secret Garden at When Modern Was

Sung to the tune of Springsteen’s “Secret Garden”:

They’ll let you in their shop.
In Noe, it’s quite a sight.
Called When Modern Was.
It makes your home just right.
But if you’re really wise,
They’ll show you deep inside.
There’s a new Secret Garden they hide.

It’s an outdoor space,
In the back of the store.
You’ll find garden tchotchkes,
And vintage patio decor.
All born from flea markets and estate sales galore.
Owners Kimberly and Dona, you know they fairly price,
And in their Secret Garden, you won’t think twice.

They’d go a million miles,
For an iron table set.
And the candelabras,
That you can’t forget.

Potted plants for your path,
Antique chandeliers in the air,
Even decorative shelves and pretty mirrors to spare.
Figurines and vases, you’ll find some treasures there.
Now everything you want,
And everything you need,
Will no longer stay
A million miles away.

Secret Garden at When Modern Was, 1504 Church Street, at 27th Street (415-970-1030 or whenmodernwas.com).
