Shopping in Charlottesville

I wanted to share a thousand few more pictures of our time in Charlottesville, VA.  As I mentioned before, I could totally live there.  The area the locals refer to as the downtown mall was my absolute favorite.  If you follow me on instagram (cottageandvine), you may have already seen a couple of these pictures.

The large trees create a wonderful canopy making outdoor dining an nice option most seasons.

People are out and about from the wee morning hours and well into the night and we were no exception.  (I'm totally stealing this idea, use chilled re-purposed wine bottles to serve water).

Above many of the storefronts are homes with beautiful balconies overlooking the mall.

In between burgers, ice cream, and sushi, we ventured into many of the stores.  I picked up a spool of twine at Rock Paper Scissors which by the way is a paper junky's dream!

My favorite of all the stores was Roxie Daisy.  I seriously could have spent the day in there.  Actually, you might think I did when you see the next series of pictures...

Last and certainly not least, we stopped into Caspari (above image and next three), the go-to store for everything entertaining.

My blogging friend Caroline reminded me that And George is in Charlottesville.  That gives me something to look forward to next trip ;).
