Faded Empire

Faded Empire is an online boutique based in Australia. I love the name by the way :-) They carry an interesting collection of unique and stylish housewares, clothing and accessories from around the globe. These were some of the products that caught my eye.

Shopping in Puerto Vallarta

Yes, It is yet another Puerto Vallarta post. What can I say.....I am quite smitten :-) While, the pretty doors and windows and the  beaches were spectacular, I could say the same for the shops and the shopping! As I made my way through the cobbled streets of Old town I was struck by the wide variety of  shops. I was especially drawn to the eclectic shops filled with arts and crafts and housewares.

I have to admit that I did not go crazy shopping. However, I spent time browsing the shops and having fun :-) I came back home with a few things......after all it was all so tempting!


I saw this window near one of the shops!

The beaches were magical!

 

Mexican pottery was everywhere......

Beautiful hand embroidered dresses.

 

A very interesting shop with a lot of unusual stuff......wish I had more pictures to show you!

 

Shopping at quaint shops like these is so much more fun than large impersonal malls, don't you think? You can read my other two posts about my vacation here and here.

EDEN

I just discovered a fascinating store based out of Portland. Yay!! Imagine my excitement  as now it is definitely on my list of places to visit next time I am there! Eden calls itself a garden of opulent curiosities. Eden features everything from vintage furniture, textiles, fixtures and clothing to locally made artisan jewelry and much much more.......

Sophisticated, quirky, bohemian and filled with vintage suzanis and textiles.....I am loving it all :-)

To view Eden's entire collection visit them here! Eden has an online store as well so that makes it even better!
