general store

If I owned a general store the front would be industrial and the shelves would be stocked with linen, wood, and general house pretty-ing items that would feel very French. Also, the shelves behind the cashier would be entirely stocked with decadent chocolate bars, nice packaging a must.

sources: Savon de Marseille , linen dish towel , wooden spoons by Attia, Zoe’s Chocolate, weck jar, salad bowl from Heath Ceramics, tier cake stand, recipe book

    Those Attia spoons are lovely – everything is. If you opened a general store in my neighborhood – my wallet would be in serious trouble.

    You forgot to mention needing the blond, French-speaking Canadian behind the cash register. I’m pretty sure Portland needs this kind of store.

    I’m loving the 3 tiered wooden tray. Super fun!

    I just realized I’ve never commented! Love your site, especially your gifts-in-a-box. As an ex-pat living in West Africa, I appreciate any kind of mail, but if I received your kind? I’d do a happy dance of joy right in the customs office :)
    I collect all the “lovely deliveries” I find on Pinterest….working on sending along happiness by mail!

    Logan gave me that recipe book a few years ago for Christmas. It’s safe to say that if our house was on fire, this would be on the “save this!” list.

    Thanks so very much for including my store in this list!
    What a lovely surprise, and you’re right… including the Savon de Marseille is a must in a shop. I adore this soap + lotion and that is why I’ve included it in my small online shop…
    I dream of a brick & mortar shop some day… but until then, I’m loving having my online shop: Modern Palm.
    Cheers! xoxo Alisa
