P.O.S.H.

Every summer during our girl's weekend I look forward to visiting P.O.S.H. A charming little shop located in the historic Tree Studio Building full of interesting and many one-of-a-kind items to grace the table and the home. I usually manage to snag a unique cake stand as well as a few gifts. 

I was told the owner was a flight attendant for many years flying back and forth between the United States and Europe. During down time he frequented flea markets and sales. Thus the shop was born.

Chicago is a bustling city, but when you step inside P.O.S.H. you can't help but feel you have entered a more graceful era. Warm and welcoming, the shop has something intriguing to see at every turn. I love the plate display rising up the wall, especially the cup and saucer. So clever.

With a secluded courtyard behind the store there is always the added bonus that a wedding may be about to take place. It was a hot summer. The happy couple provided personalized fans for their guest's comfort. What a nice touch.

If you find yourself in Chicago, do pop in P.O.S.H. for a visit. You will be glad you did.
