| - What a surprise!
Heartstrings is one of the newest editions to the Little Italy gallery hop/tour. It's a vintage, antique store, and "interesting things" conglomeration housed in an old church.
I entered in and was immediately impressed with not only the open lofted space, but the organization and the wide variety of wares. The owner has a real knack for style and staging! Each room, beyond the church sanctuary is decorated appropriately with bright antiques combined in with plants, ribbons, and glass for effect. There was a Country western nook, a flamingo nook, and outdoor nook, kitchen-ware and a dressing room that any fashionista would die for! I wanted to bring the entire bathroom home with me, even the pile of pee pots!
My antique go-to is horses and the owner helped me go through her store looking for the perfect equestrian momento. She also mentioned she'll keep her eye out for me (you know how to get on my good side!).
Such a wide variety of items, all well displayed, fun, chic and...I mean, this is now a must-stop for gift buying for me! Loved it! (and I love my new salt shakers!)
