Description

How wonderful, a compendium of beautiful shops compiled by Paula Flynn of The Shopkeepers around the world and a love letter to the art of independent shops and retail. Each shop was chosen for its "artful displays, stunning setting, unusual and carefully selected products, passionate shopkeepers, and, ultimately, the enchanting feeling of stepping into its uniquely curated world.... to stop into a shop run by an owner whose enthusiasm for the beautiful, unusual, and unexpected shines in every detail of their store is a pathway to discovery, to connection, and to inspiration." What a wonderful celebration of special shops around the world, and we are so honored to be included! For us, a great shop can really make a destination an exciting place to be and it can bring so much to its local community. It's what we strive for every day, so to be included in this incredible list of great shops, many that we know and some that are new to us, really means the world to us! 

Paula takes the reader through shops in the US and Canada, Latin America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania. It's such a delightful and inspiring book, so fun to look through the interiors of different shops and dream about visiting one day!
