The Cross.
This is the entrance to The Cross Decor & Design, an amazing a-little-bit-everything-wonderful-you-could-possibly-want boutique in Yaletown. I get a warm fuzzy feeling every time I walk by this place.
This display greets you when you walk in. A little while ago I was examining the idea that fashion surrounds us and came to the conclusion that the fashions and styles we choose for our interiors have a huge impact on our every day lives. I believe that when you have a beautiful space to come home to it relaxes the mind and offers a sense of peace. This is such a welcoming and inspirational space. So many beautiful details.
Yes they even carry things for the little ones in our lives. I keep spoiling my friend’s new babies with these luxuries. Every new child deserves to be spoiled and each receives a sumptuous baby blanket with a matching hat. Personally I’m trying to figure out a way that I can fit in to some of this clothes……
I could spend hours right here trying to choose which candle I like best. Just purchased the Voluspa Crisp Champagne candle and I love it!
If you can’t find enough inspiration right in front of you then there is an amazing library full of beautiful books about Fashion, Design, Style, Architecture and much more!
A whole space dedicated to all the DIY-ers out there. This is my go to place for ribbons and paper whenever anyone is having a birthday. Don’t even get me started on the type of wrapping I can put together for the holidays!
How great is this table! Vintage and modern always make the perfect combination in my book. Although this table and setting are definitely vintage in nature they could be transplanted into my modern condo and fit right in. I love the sparkly chandeliers in a contemporary shape and the crisp white plates against a rugged wooden table.
This area makes me smile. I have purchased many lovely tea cups that I send to Poland to my grandmother. She loves vintage tea cups and this was my first stop when heading over to help celebrate her 95th birthday!
This sparkly spot is my gift corner. Whenever I’m in need of that something special, that something original, that something I’m sure my friend won’t have, I make a beeline for these pieces. I’m going to say that a few of them have appeared in earlier posts as I can’t always bring myself to give them away.
The owl is next on my list, I believe it would make the perfect milk jug with just the right touch of whimsy.
Walking into The Cross is like being wrapped in a cozy sparkling blanket, it is both visually stunning and comforting at the same time. Definitely one of my happy places.
Now to prove the title right I just have to find a way to convince the staff at The Cross to let me move in!

I love the fact that you show us great places/stores around your town! It gives your blog a down-to-earth feeling that I absolutely adore. Have a great week, Katherine, http://styleidoscope.blogspot.de/
Oh thanks so much for that, it means a lot! I’m not so great at doing the OOTD posts (although I love reading them) but I want to share all the things that I love.
what an amazing store, I love the books part!

It’s pretty amazing!
That place it gorgeous! I wish I had something like that a bit closer to home. I cannot get over how gorgeous it is. I know what you mean about environments shaping our emotions and well beings. Another shop that gets the environment is Anthropologie. When I entered their shop in London, I felt so good about being there and I just wanted to stay in their shop all day long. They have details and it makes me feel at home. Definitely not the same feeling as Gap or H&M.
I really like Anthropologie too, it’s a great store and come to think of it has some really similar things!
Very nice future!

Wow what an amazing shop! I’d be so overwhelmed by all of the great finds and probably spend way too much money!

It’s easy to be overwhelmed and even easier to open your wallet!
Okay seriously this little shop is like a slice of heaven on earth!!! We used to have a couple of shops similar to this one & they are gone now. Makes me sad. Love this one!!!
