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!

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?"

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~

you're the funniest girl in the world, I love the way you feel domestic ordering food out, you're the best!
This was just way too cool. I am so happy for you and your apron. Did you forget it at home. LOL No sorry, I think aprons are so cute. Have a beautiful day domestic princess!!
That looks like fun!! Where is the one in Chicago? Maybe I will join you.
good score my friend. love the baskets.
and thanks again for eating my cupcake...
CUTE!!! I love her stuff too! I'm sad that her stores are closing. I guess not everyone has our appreciation for "shabby chic".
I LOVE YOUR FINDS!! Especially love the jar with the crown! You are one lucky girl!!!! I was very sad when I heard the stores were closing , but I think she will come back soon better than ever!
Blessings!
oh my! My heart was beating faster just reading your post. So many goodies. Love the locker baskets and the jars. Glad you had fun! One day, maybe, I'll get the courage to jump on a plane and visit NY>
40%???
uh -
sorry- gotta go!
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!
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!!!
Looks like you had a wonderful time and what goodies! Thanks for sharing!
Oh, you lucky girl! I've been to that shop and can't believe it's closing. You got great stuff, Amy! BTW, stop by my blog to pick something up....
I am jealous! I have always wanted to go to one of her stores. If the store is still open the end of May I would go with you in Chicago. Love the jars you bought!!!
Oh I love her stores, i am so sad they are closing too..she has the best stuff and I love the vintage items they had in there too (kinda pricey) but fun to look at~
Hi Amy, ~WOW~!
You sure found some very lovely items.
I'm glad you had a wonderful time!
What a pretty photo of you.
Have a blessed week my friend.

Oh what a great day. I love those jars. You should go again before they close.
