dream a little dream
image from here
i am dreaming of someday opening a store...literally i have had this fantasy ever since i was the 'wrapping paper girl' during the holidays at a local boutique in Virginia.. i have it all mapped out..the tunes i would be playing, the candle that would be burning, the dog bowl out front with water and jumby taking a nap beside it, the big front window displays..ohh and the goodies piled up high, that i would buy from a big trip to india.....not sure if you remember the movie 'you've got mail' but i was SO envious of Meg Ryans' little bookstore, that had the bell on the door, she was so cute practically skipping to her little home away from home..i have worked in so many boutiques and loved it! changing the open to close sign, used to make my day after a long days work ....(yes, i did used to work in a card shop in college but i mostly sold incense and hippy tapestries--ohh those were the days)
go support your local brick and mortar this weekend, they would appreciate it!
happy friday folks..

i always think how fun it would be to own a little store, myself. have a great weekend...xo
I feel exactly the same! xo
my dream too, but you are surely a step closer with all your gorgeous products!! :)
I love little stores {wink wink}! The moment I saw your line of clothing & bedding & your photos I had a vision of what your adorable shop would look like. Vintage cabinets holding all your goodies... Huge white planked floors. Sorry to get carried away it's the designer in me. You have a fabulous eye... Your store would be perfect! Oh by the way I really would like to go to India with you. No joke. One day I would love to sit & talk with you. You should do it... Open a store!!! It's so much fun!!! :)

Oh yes, I can just see it. I too loved her shop in 'you've got mail'. Sounds like it would be a dream come true!
You make owning a store sound like such fun!! And the buying trip to India..fabulous!! go for it!!
Downtown Mill Valley here you come!?!
Catherine - you are definitely headed in that direction! You MUST make it happen. I would just make a visit to see what props you bring back from India:)
Lovely! And loved that movie and hated Fox Books.
Can i sign up for the buying trip to India too please? I love cute little shops, and have dreams of opening one someday too!
I can totally see you doing this and it doing so well! I loved Meg's shop in YGM. It still gives me the best feeling whenever I think of it. Reminds me of an old bookshop I used to go to with my parents when I was younger. Have a great weekend!
