Now This Place Has Got The Goods!!

I looooooove when I find a neighborhood store that has unique gifts for just about anyone on my list!!  Goods LA is just that place!  Picky girlfriend that has everything??  How about a beautiful succulent arrangement from  Roots & Stems?  Here is a picture of the one I bought for myself today. 

Beautiful isn't it?  I'm also crazy about the felt bowls surrounding it - they are filled with felt rocks made by an artist named Birte Reimer - I will definitely be back for these!  Need a gift for a new bambino?  I did.  Believe me, this was not an easy decision....there are adorable felt hats and baby booties from Kyrgyzstan, hand-knit, organic cotton blankets from Bolivia.... then... I saw them!! These dreamy, little, sleeping felt animals - HAD TO HAVE THEM!

I'm almost done shopping when I spot the cutest little Bento lunch box!  This is a perfect gift for my kids for the first day of school this Monday.  I'm a sucker for any kind of Bento lunch box - my kids have 4 of them a piece!  This one was irresistible: 

The last item on my list is soap.  Not just any soap.... my favorite soap!! Compagnie De Provence's entire collection of Savon De Marseille!  Seeing as how I'm almost out, I pick some up!

I decided on the Fig - lovely.

Now the only thing I need is a bag to carry it all in and what do ya know?  There are some delicious plastic totes made from a Collective in Bolivia begging me to carry my goods home in!!

All I have to do now is hope my husband doesn't read this post!  It was an expensive one!!  Check out Goods LA if you have the chance, you won't be disappointed!
