Here, now, are my Top Nine Favourite Stores (of all time):
1. One word: Nordstrom. Enough said.
2. Anthropologie. I love their unique clothes and fun "home goods." I could spend hours in this store.
3. Williams-Sonoma. My yearly "Christmas list" most always contains something from this splendid shop. (This year? A Le Creuset Round Dutch Oven -- 5 1/2 quarts -- in "Quince." Hint. Hint. Hint.)
4a. Pottery Barn. Delightful. Cozy. Classic.
4b. Pottery Barn Kids. Down-right charming!
5. Hobby Lobby. A crafty, creative store. It has the most extensive and beautiful selection of ribbon I've found. (And I L-O-V-E ribbon.)
6. World Market. When I walk in the door, I can't help but smile. Wine. Pretty flatware. Holiday decor. What more could you want?
7. Target. Oh, Target. Sigh.
8. Fossil. I'm obsessed with their jeans.
9. Bath and Body Works. I wait on pins and needles for their fall and holiday candles and soaps to arrive. And then I quickly stockpile "Leaves" and "Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin" -- like it's going out of style.
(And I didn't even get to mention Papyrus, Sample House, Container Store {My dream job? Professional Organizer.} or my favourite grocery store: Market Street!)
Happy Monday, Lovely Readers!
