It's all in the details. And to be sure the new home of ::69:: -- MIYABI 35/218/503 -- is definitely about the details. An eclectic mix of goods can befound including shoes and boots and teddy bears in abundance, but there is SO much more to see here. The new shop floats at 500 meters so attach your flight assist if you are planning on doing any major exploration.
And explore you should, not only for the SHOE HUNT going on now, but just to see all the wonderful surprises that await you. Baby ducklings, bees -- flora and fauna of all types abound outside. The shop itself is built around a HUGE sculpty tree.
Many of the vendors are in giant books and to be fair there is so much here to enjoy, shopping could easily become the second thing on one's mind (wink). The stuffed animals are darling and extremely well-made.
A random shopper commented in chat that this was very much a Harry Potter experience. It does have that flavor -- at least when Harry was young and carefree and full of fun.
Oneof the most intriguing places for me was the kitchen. There are too many finely tuned details here to show. You'll just have to come see for yourself. The lady in pink is making bakery goods and she is not a camper as far as I could see. Even so, what a WONDERFUL place to "camp" (big grin) especially in the winter when all the open fires give some toasty atmospheric warmth.
I have some new duds on and will blog those later, but I wanted to give yet another big thumbs up to my Drama Queen AO from ANA_MATIONS -- Sterling Heights 122/95/22 --which works even sitting down (yeah). Hence my waving from my seat with the giant teddy.
I didn't find them all, but here are four pictures of the shoes in the hunt. Have fun!
