part of the thrill of being in this new (and fabulous) place is getting to experience so much "newness".  today i spent a few hours meandering through antique and thrift stores.  i stopped in three or four places and was underwhelmed.  the offerings were either too outdated and shabby, or way over priced.  i intended to begin my journey home- back across the bridge to the island- when i got a little turned around.  sidebar:  my internal compass is non-existent, so getting a little lost happens more often than i would like to mention.  i found myself in front of shi + erhard... my new favorite place!!  there was so much yummy, eccentric, mid century, goodness... and, piles of it!!  what i really loved about this place is that there was a nice mix of over the top and simple.  from god-dy to sleek.  art, tables, chairs, chandeliers, and figurines galore!  the one challenge:  nothing was priced.  this tells me either 1.) owner bruce erhard wants to haggle or 2.) the prices are high.  i can't wait to take the hubs, when he comes to visit in a few weeks.  he is, however, much better at negotiating than me!
