~Girly, Girly~

So, here we are in SoHo, I see this building with white chippy paint and I turn to Bill and say
"I know there is a Shabby Chic store here in New York. Will you please look it up on your phone and try to get an address?"
Of course he gets busy right away. He loves his phone as much as I love mine.
He looks up and says "Maisy, it's so weird you asked because we are only 1 block away!"
I knew from that moment I HAD to go!

I spotted this sign and my heart skipped a beat.
I just love the feeling Rachel Ashwell's things gives me.
I also get the same feeling at Target.
I have never been in her store.
Literally, I started speed walking.
Let's keep in mind that I am with all males.
They just don't get the same feeling~

Here I am walking out with my loot.
I asked if I could take pictures in the store and I was politely told NO!
All the stores are closing so the whole store was 40% off.
YEAH for Maisy!

Here it is back at the Maisy homestead.

Vintage inspired locker baskets.
I don't know why but I had to buy 3.
That's all they had.
They were using 2 of them for display.
I asked in my sweetest voice I could muster up "may I also purchase those?"

Jars, jars, jars.....gotta have 'em!

This one says...Mason's Improved Butter Jar~

This one says Crown and has that great crown on it.
Maisy the princess...
Yeah right....

Old Judge Coffee with the cutest owl on it.

The best smelling bars of soap on this entire planet!!!!!!!

I'm so sorry that this photo is awful!!!

I couldn't walk out of there without a new apron.
I don't know about you but I wear aprons all the time.
They make me feel so domestic.
Sometimes I put one on, lay on the couch, think about what I want to order for dinner. Then order our dinner.
Is that domestic??


This store was so much fun.
I may just hit the Chicago store before it closes.
Anyone up for a fieldtrip??

~Happy Tuesday~

CUTE!!! I love her stuff too! I'm sad that her stores are closing. I guess not everyone has our appreciation for "shabby chic".

Ok, if I would have been with you, I would have grabbed your hand and we would have took off running! I am sooooo jealous! Was it as beautiful inside as I would imagine it to be? The jars that you got would look so cute with some candles poured in them :) I am so glad you were able to go there and how lucky were you that everything was on sale!

littlebyrd said...

Oh wow! I just bought one of the shabby books yesterday and looove it. I can't belive the stores are closing. Lucky you for getting there!!! You look so cute and happy with your packages, I love it. And no, I didn't know you had one of my clutches. I am flattered - Flattered!!!
