Once again thank you Wildsnowflake for writing, "You're right... "mom and pop stores" are the perfect place to get gifts that aren't at the bigbox places. Plus you actually get customer service, a rarity in mall stores. Other cute stores are Weeping Willow in Warren, Heidi's Cottage in Dunellen, and the Brass Lantern in Metuchen. I also love the downtowns of Somerville, Cranford and Red Bank. Used to like Westfield, but it's turned into another Bridgewater Commons!"
I am familiar with Weeping Willow but now of course will have to try the other places wsnowflake mentioned. These downtowns remind me of my childhood shopping streets, where every block had on its sidewalk either a riding pony or a gumball machine (for a penny...a penny!!)
About Me
- Laurie Squire
- Laurie Squire is happy that she lives in the part of the state where stores are open on Sundays. When she's not shopping she's writing about shopping and when she's not doing either she works in broadcasting as does her pun-happy husband, Herb. Terrific twin daughters, a super son-in-law and cute pets round out the picture. She is a graduate of Finch College and NYU, and is one of those people who didn't-finish-doctoral-work -but-swears-she-will-one-day (Columbia University's Teachers College).
