Caravan: Shopping in Style...

.
I don't know about you, but, personally, shopping is
not my idea of fun...that is
unless, it's shopping of a particular kind:
outdoor farmers' markets, thrift shops, etsy, "brocantes" and
independent stores
– online and on the high street -


Caravan in east London is one such store

.

.Browsing in these places is not like the usual shopping experience;
shopping here feels like an adventure
.
I always find something to please family and friends...
.
I love the whole concept created by Emily Chalmers,
who started out as an interiors stylist.
Do checkout their site, it's a real treat..!

I too love thrift shops and little musty old looking bric a brac shops. For me they are treasure troves to browse through. The link appears to be broken as it comes up with page not found.

How cute! I love little adventures like this. It helps me to have more hope in this world. (I live in a neighborhood (Greenwich Village) where every cute little adventure ma/pa store is being bought out by banks and boring nail salons.
Caravan restores some of my faith.
Thanks for sharing!
Take care,
S

Shopping is most definitely my idea of fun. However, shopping inside the Caravan looks absolutely fantastic! What a neat idea!
