| - Joining this hella enthusiastic crowd, I have to say that this was one of the cutest new (to me, don't know how old it is) stores I've entered in a long time. Quite often I find the endless stream of "lifestyle" shops a little daunting, but this one pleased me at every corner.
They have everything from poetry to children's writing, to music writing to travel writing to pet writing to eating writing, all with corresponding accessories to match many of the sections' themes...but, as is not always the case with this kind of place, I felt that everything was so carefully, lovingly picked and arranged that it really was like entering one person's own personal collection, personal statement about what they liked and what they wanted to share with their friends. That is, a number of different friends with different interests, but a similar appreciation of quality and modern but cute aesthetics.
No choice seemed superfluous, everything was so colourful (but not too colourful) and welcoming, I wanted to hang out there all day- and we almost did. It took awhile to share all of our feelings about the Julia Child video playing on their tv;
-the girl behind the counter: dressed like her for halloween,
-my friend Andrew: might be related to her,
-the rest of us: likely agreeing.
