Let the inspiration surround you…
Last weekend, when Zack drove down to Chicago and I chatted his little ear off, we stopped at this amazing shop called P.O.S.H. Chicago. There was so much loveliness to look at — housewares, antique hotel silver, glassware, things for kids — oh, they had such C U T E things for kids!
I love when shops have things everywhere, yet it all seems to be in place. It reminded me a bit of a shop my mom and I loved to visit together when Zack and I were first married and living in Lansing, MI {October Moon}. We have a love for unique shops like that.
Julia’s Kitchen Wisdom — this book caught my attention right away {above}.
I love the dishes piled high, the drawers pulled out, mugs fluttering about…
I love the amber glasses, the fall leaves, the birds set up as pairs…
Mini fabric banners — swoon!
I found the cutest dolly version of The Princess and the Pea…
Along with stuffed Royal Soldiers {and $5 vintage toy cars — eek!}
Plates hung to the ceiling {reminds me of you know who}…
I wanted to bring home these mustard cups & saucers…
P.O.S.H. Chicago, 613 North State Street — Have you ever been?
Wow! I haven’t been, but I’ll definitely add it to my list for my next trip to the windy city!!
Oh wow, this is such an adorable shop! Love all the different colored items.

Awwww! It’s Sophie! I love that little giraffe. :) The store looks like someplace I could spend days in!
Now I really want to go to Chicago! Tell Z to keep smiling! (o;
Have a lovely day, I bet it’s getting cold there, you will love you house in the winter time, old homes always make everything seem more cozy!

look at all the pretties!
LOVE!! I’ve never been to Chicago, but if I ever do, I know where I should stop in. :)
One of my fave shops!
um, no. But now I really, really want to. My husband and I have been batting around the idea of a trip to Chicago just him and I for a few days – he wants to see Wrigley, and now, I want to see P.O.S.H. :)
