Taken For Granite is one of those shops I always
make sure to stop in when I am in Connecticut.
(If you have been following along for a while you already know this!)
It is located in Stony Creek which is a section of Branford
and is famous for the Thimble Islands in the Long Island Sound.
Because of its idyllic location Michele has created an ambiance
that reflects the sea and natural elements in the area.

It is a most relaxing experience to browse through this beautiful shop and see unique gifts and decor creatively displayed in inspirational vignettes.
We started outside in the patio area...
Inside we found beautiful and unusual costume jewelry...
I took tons of photos...
....instead of me prattling on...
...have a look...enjoy!
...are you still with me?
I could do all my Christmas shopping here.
In fact...I might!
...can't wait to see Michele's spectacular Christmas displays!
Well...tomorrow I'm off to spiff up my little booths
at Schoolhouse Treasures...
...and then to the lake for the last autumn days
before we close up for the season.
(...boo hoo...I hate to close up...)
Hope your week is going well!
:)
What am I grateful for today?
wonderful friends...all over the world

It is sad when you have to close the cottage...but , we at least get to go well into December, as it is in the warmer Niagara region of Southern Ontario...

Wow...you weren't kidding! A virtual feast for the eyes. If you happen to be shopping for my Christmas gift, I love the crows in the patio and the white display cabinet with the butterpats...hehe.

A gorgeous shop! I loved the round paper lanterns/lamps and the huge sea glass pieces with the words stamped on them.I wonder if it was real sea glass or tumbled glass. AriadnefromGreece!
Well if I can't get there I at least love seeing Michelle's shop thru your lens. She is an artist at displaying.
Thanks for showing Deanna's too. What an amazing shop she has too. I missed seeing her yesterday as she came to town. I really should stop in to see her.

Thanks for the vicarious visit to a wonderful shop. I have a favorite spot in town that I could browse for hours. Just before Christmas I go through and photograph things I hope Santa will bring me. I share the photos with my husband and he gets to take his pick.
This store is STUNNING!!! Oh my gosh I have to get there :)!!!
