This shop feels as though it could be located at a lonely crossroads in rural France. Maybe it's all the pretty dried plants and flowers. If you like creamy French soaps, especially with exotic scents, you'll probably leave with a handful -- this place has many that are hard to find on this side of the Atlantic. The shop has everything from beautiful linens to old English pudding pots -- terrific wedding and other special-occasion gifts.
