Thankfully since I've bought a lot of stuff there, &
I'll probably have to stop by to support them this weekend. In that case.

Honestly, I don't go there for any specific thing, but look at everything from paintings, lamps, bed sheets, furniture, kitchen ware, luggage & of course, purses!
Ha.
I've mentally redecorated my house so many times just walking thru that place.

Our local store has a standalone jewelry counter (I've heard that not all stores do) and it's fantastic! Really cool and unique pieces at good prices.
