After dinner, I kidnapped my dinner companion and forced him to walk around the mall with me. We went in to the P.F.Cheng’s entrance. Across from Express and next to New York and Co. Sat this new little shabby chic store. Naturally, I had to check it out.
This place has eclectic and seemingly random (and slightly upscale) doo-​dads/​knick — knacks and pretties. There were some clothing as well as things like flasks, platters, and Kentucky themed items.
As we made our way around the store, there is a little nook in the back with two chairs, a small table and string with clothespins hung up. In this little nook, there were what we dubbed the inspiration wall. Hundreds of little note cards filled with words of inspiration.
«Just keep swimming.»
«It gets better.»
«Be the change.»
We sat in the nook for a new minutes to take it all in before moving on to the rest of the store. While I didn’t buy anything (although there was a sign in there I wanted «sky above me. Earth below me. Fire within me»), I decided I am coming here next time i need a gift for someone. This was a cute store. Items seemed to be between $ 20-​$ 40+. A new place to buy something for those hard to buy for people.
