terrain

 If you're in the Philadelphia area, terrain is worth a visit.  Styer's is a 100+ year old eleven acre nursery and terrain is the 4th brand of Urban Outfitters.  After reading about their workshops and seeing some of their products online, I was excited to see it in person.
 The first thing I noticed was how wonderful it smelled--part nursery, part home goods store, the outdoor areas especially smelled of delicious pine.
 Being here made me want to buy an old house just so I could hang the wellie boot knocker on my door :)
 It was all I could do to resist buying it . . .
 'Please close the gate' came home with me . . . to help ensure our corgi doesn't escape the backyard.
 Just seeing paperwhites makes my heart race . . .  forcing them is a beloved 20+ year tradition and they smell heavenly.
 Pots of fresh herbs.
 An interesting chandelier.
 They have a delicious gourmet cafe as well.
 Thought this elephant was very clever.
 These mercury glass pendants are so charming . . . wish I had a place for them and I love the Edison bulb.
 A stack of these would have been nice, but at $48 each, they were beyond my comfort zone.
 A variety of pendants.
 Retro Christmas ornaments.
 Loved the use of plaid blankets.
The poinsettia house.

Susan nice job on Terrain's. I am inspired evrytime I go there. This place rocks!

We have relatives living in New Canaan, so the Westport location will be an added bonus to our visits there.
