Send in the Clowns!

One of my favourite spots to pop in on Princess Street is Send in the Clowns - and while I love pestering Nick about my wedding invitations (which are stunning, by the way...even after spending hours painfully hand-addressing them, I still stop every now and then to admire them!), I also love just milling around looking for gifts - for myself. Yes, it is a gift shop, so occasionally I shop for other people there (a birthday card here or there), but let's be honest - mostly I just beeline toward the Anne Taintor display. I like snickering at all the magnets, mugs, and other lovely little luxuries. 

And, I can't be the only one  - because right now the Send in the Clowns window is full of Anne Taintor goodies. I'm a huge fan - and now I can even get my Anne fixes for free - just visit http://annetaintor.com/iphone.html to download i-phone wall paper. Right now, I've got the Domestically Disabled pic gracing my phone. They also make great gifties - I got my mom the "They hated to spread gossip" mug a couple years ago, and whenever I go home there's a nice up of tea served to me in it, while we catch up on the latest - erm...news.  

Another wise shopping decision, indeed! 

Lovely LUSH -Easter Just Got Sweeter

Easter is right around the corner, which (like most holidays) means chocolate...chocolate...and more chocolate. Uh oh. Not so good when you're planning on your wedding dress fitting one day soon (or jeans, a-hem!).

Luckily, there's a LUSH shop nearby - it may not be downtown but I think their commitment to all natural (calorie-free) goodness still deserves a mention in my little ode to Kingston shops!

Check out these adorable, Limited Edition (fat-free) Easter bath goodies.I love the "Hippie Chick," my photo does not do it justice! The scent is divine!

LUSH is having an Easter event all day Saturday, so if you're in the mall area, pop in to see what's in store. I love their products because they are preservative-free, eco-friendly, and they smell absolutely amazing.

And of course, they are a lot healthier than Mini Eggs (my other current addiction!).

Oh, and did I mention they're vegan? Lush has been on my go-to list for my vegan sister for years.

Easter just got a little sweeter!
