today i stumbled upon a wonderful shop in
santa monica called
artichokes & co .initially, it was the name that pulled me in. (
i've always
loved artichokes) i thought it was some kind of a garden shop, and i was just planning to do a
sloooowwwwed down pace as i walked by, checking out the wares in the window.

but one glance and i was drawn in. a beautifully art directed shop filled with every imaginable gift item -foods, pretty candies, yummy scents for the home and body, all kinds of ingenious containers for planting or display, lots and lots of top of the line home products, a kids department that's to die for. it's really sort of like a miniature ABC home
.

there are also, gorgeous flowers available......

artichokes & co has been a premier crated-gift business for over 10 years. -think those baskets with the giant bow and cellophane---
but......... not. those would be the poor relation to these. creatively packaged in a beautiful hand made wooden container,

filled with the kinds of thing you dream of receiving. you can shop here on 4
th street in
santa monica-or check their website out.
