inspired



a singular store in Andes NY


you would never mistake this store for another


except for the one the owner recently opened in manhattan



ny times article about the owners house here and slide show of it here
better pictures (than mine) of the store here

Another store I love looking at, via photos, is The Bell Jar in Norwich, England, documented so beautifully here by Deborah on her blog The Fisherman's Cottage. These stores, so very different, are an inspiration to me--I would love for my store be as distinctive as they are.

  1. Unique, but the buffalo head freaks me out! Fun to see houses though.

  5. Hello Jen:
    We love Kabinett and Kammer. Moose's head...fabulous, Habsburg yellow walls.....fantastic,intriguing 'tablescapes' and stock piled high. An Aladdin's cave, for sure.

    And, dear Jen, your own store also is full of interest and wonderful things. Intriguing paint colours, an eclectic range of stock and everything carefully displayed. You too are an inspiration!!

  6. The Bell Jar and your store are far preferable to my mind than anything else described here. One can get a bit too commercial, or maybe simply too pricey and hoity-toity to interest this poor mind. Oh, did I say that?

  7. Jen,
    That store looks fabulous! Love all the little stools and display tables! It's always fun to look at new stores and see what kinds of things they carry and how they do their displays! I have been to the fisherman's cottage blog and really like it.
