Yes....who doesn't love more shopping? Why yes it was another shop in the same outer Baltimore neighborhood of Hampden. This was my second time in. Leslie who is the fine owner of this store is the doyenne of this shop. The shops name came as a suggestion from a friend of hers who is a fan of Richard Brautigan's novel , In Watermelon Sugar, a novel based on a post-apocalyptic story set in the aftermath of a fallen civilization. The name sounded colorful to her and vague, so it's stuck with her. Now watermelon sugar has now been around for 25 years and specializing in a wide array of items but specializing in bath & body products, room sprays, candles, gourmet foods and delights, homemade woven bags and accessories, Artisan made home accessories ,textiles, jewelry and handmade gift wrappings. The store sort of reminds me of the old Crabtree and Evelyn stores that used to be around. I always love it's friendly atmosphere when we're in and you can't help but come out of the store feeling happy. And every purchase is put in her signature In Watermelon Sugar bag with pink tissue and sticker.
My favorite new line of body and face care. Not sure yet but it may even replace my Chanel skincare I've been using for years. It's a line called McEvoy Ranch, and contains vitamin E , rosemary, clary sage and olive oils. The body cream is amazing, and I mean I use it everywhere, right down to ...yes, even there.
I thought you were going to talk about the Harry Stiles song!!!
ReplyDeleteOh thanks Jennifer. I didn't even know it was a Harry Stiles song!!! Now I feel old for the first. Lol!
DeleteI love browsing in stores like that!
ReplyDeleteI love these specialty shops; you could spend hours browsing and finding all sorts of treasures. Now I'm off to Google McEvoy Ranch.
ReplyDeleteOh, that’s my kind of shop. We need Leslie here in Córdoba. I’d be in every day and probably walk out with something every day!
ReplyDeleteI really miss the Crabtree & Evelyn stores too, but their products are still available at London Drugs stores in Canada. PERLIER is another great brand from France, but it's no longer sold here, much to my chagrin!
ReplyDeleteThose glass jelly fish truly are pretty.
ReplyDelete"Yes, even there" is a very important "There." Vit E oil is an essential oil for all body parts.
ReplyDeleteIf that's what you can expect to find in a post-apocalypse, bring it on!
