A lovely store......actually a lovely experience....just entering it gave us such nice vibes. When that guy came by to ask if I was looking for something specific and I said "no, not really, just being here feels good.....you've done a brilliant job, what's your name" (all in one breath, poor guy :), Diksha's like "I knew it ma.......I knew you'd like it"

Such an inspiring store. It's tag line is 'gift a plant'. And there's cute stuff written around....

"gift people what they love, and you will be gifting them happiness"

"collect things you love, and your house becomes your story"

"we all need beautiful things"

It's a concept store, and I think it's only today that I understood what a concept store is. A space that enables not just shopping..... but an enriching experience. Not about utilitarian use of space....but incorporating a lot of creativity and art.

Focus is not on 'what'....it's on the 'how' .

It has an indoor area showcasing many pretty and interesting plant holders, and an outdoor nursery with lots of succulents and indoor plants. And Clement, knows his plants and planters inside out, making it that much more interesting........and we ended picking up more than we thought :)

Some pictures:

A favourite of Diksha's and mine, the plant itself is so fragile..and so aptly named 'baby's tears', and diksha picked a super cute rabbit as holder.

Deech, that was a lovely and thoughtful birthday gift.

While I will naturally nurture all the plants, I think there will be that special little something with this cute rabbit and baby tears......that coincidentally (??) brought out this distinct feeling of tenderness from both of us. Was a lovely moment. Thanks sweetheart !
