One More Shop - Crown and Crumpet

You may recognize Crown and Crumpet from a article that was in Romantic Home magazine awhile ago.  This tea/gift shop had been on my must see list for awhile and I was not disappointed. This place is over the top eye candy!

It is primarity a tea room, but there are little gifts and candies to purchase as well.  We were allowed to look around and take photos...this shop is heaven! 

The details and just quirkiness of this shop is amazing.

My only regret is that we didn't sit down and have a spot of tea....next time!

   
They had one wall where they had some great built in shallow cabinets.  There was a wonderful collection of vintage spun head figures, wedding toppers, tins and just other whimscial finds. I have a wall in my house that is just begging to have this sort of cabinet built into it.

I won't be able to do a top and bottom cabinet, but I can do three lower ones.  Look at all the goodies.

 

 


I love these old doll faces they had displayed.

Or how about this magical scene?

I could have wandered around and stared at all the goodies all day. 

The seat covers are a rainbow of colors in orange, pink and  turquoise.

If I had no husband or kids, I just might go over the top in a decorating scheme like this!

I did pick up a few trinkets...a little memento of a cute little shop.

I seem to be into mushrooms.  This one is living in a plant in my living room...look at the detail on the underside.

This is definitely a city that I will be returning to soon..we still have a couple of shops that we didn't have the chance to see!

Now that does it! I want to go there. We go all over the country but never anyplace in California! That's got to change! I'm going to the city by the bay soon!

Thanks for the motivation!

When I saw the Romantic Homes Ad, I realized they buy a lot of Etsy Wholesale. Did you recognize a lot of Etsy Artists in your visit?

Ha ha, it looks just like your house! That's definitely going to be a stop on my Cali visit. Where do you get the self-control, though--but I suppose you know you can make alot of that yourself, huh?

So many wonderful things to look at. I'm always amazed at how some people can make so much "stuff" look so good. My "stuff" just looks like piles - these pics are totally inspiring, what a fun place. Thanks for sharing.

I notices some pieces from etsy artists as well. Fun.

I might have to tag along on the next trip. Much as I love every little thing in that shop, in my current mood I really want that multicolored floral sofa!

That wall cabinet is fantastic! And alot of the stuff inside looks very ME. That's Magpie Ethel! I want to know if there was anything that you had to leave behind because there just wasn't enough room in the car? Did you have to hold back?

Love that mushroom! I've been into mushrooms this past year. I've picked them up here & there, but have yet to do anything creative with them!
Hugs,

How amazing is that store! Thank you so much for snapping all those photos and sharing them with us! Especially those shallow shelves! I'm definitely going to have to build some of those in my new house when we move...so awesome! I can just imagine the little display you can put together in a shelf like that too. The shallowness of it is key...almost like a wall sized shadow box! :)
