We spent the Easter break in Hilton Head Island -- far away from the last of the Michigan snow storms. Our family spent almost every waking moment biking, walking and eating meals outside in the wonderful, comfortable sunshine. It was super.
We also took a day trip to another one of our favorite spots, Savannah, GA, which is just an hour's car ride (or a nice boat trip) from Hilton Head. Savannah is not only historic and graceful but it is considered one of the best "Walking Cities" in the U.S. During our walk around town, my husband, Mark, spotted an intriguing store, The Paris Market. Boy was he right. The Paris Market is truly a "Just So! Destination." The Paris Market is really a world into itself -- a chic mix of modern and vintage items. Almost everything in the store is either seriously cool or exudes vintage elegance. Almost everything in its two floors would make an impeccable gift or home accent -- all guaranteed to be a great conversation-starters for years to come. They really stole my heart with the gorgeous corner coffee bar and enormous glass jars full of candies, including my all-time favorites: Lemon Heads.
The store is a testatment to the design eye of it's owner, Paula Danyluk, who bouyantly chatted with admiring customers in her beautiful shop while we were there. (Amazingly, Mark and I were watching The Big Idea program on television a few days later, and we saw Paula again -- she was a guest evaluating products on a program segment involving Savannah, Paula Deen and the Deen brothers.) Enjoy Mark's photos and don't miss The Paris Market if you plan on visiting Savannah. You're sure to be inspired and delighted.
