Win It: GREER Chicago.
My love affair with GREER Chicago began a few years ago when I was first immersing myself into the world of letterpress and paper goods. Because, well, they have it all. GREER is a one-stop shop of awesome and I’m dying to get to their brick and mortar location to see it all in person (and meet the lovely Chandra!). But for now I’ll just have to live vicariously through the two of you who will be winning your own lovely pile of goodies like the one above.
To Enter, Tell Me:
1. What’s your favorite shop online that you wish had a brick and mortar location in your city?
2. Your email address.
3. Do it all before Monday, March 1st at 9am CST.
Please leave only one comment. Those who do not leave a valid email address will be disqualified. Winner will be selected randomly and contacted Monday, March 1st.
Posted In paper goods, win it

February 22, 2010 at 5:39 pmEither ModCloth, or Fish's Eddy. Totally unrelated stores, both equally cool and equally unattainable in Columbus, OH. Thank goodness for the internet!

February 22, 2010 at 7:46 pmMy favorite online shop is:
blackphoenixalchemylab.com
They make hand blended perfume oils based on characters from history, poetry, art, etc. They have so many scents. Unfortunately, I think they're an online-only company.
I also wish there was a Container Store anywhere near me!

February 22, 2010 at 8:33 pmonly recently acquainted with Greer Chicago, i'm already considering a trip to the windy city to stock up. looking at their website creates a tactile desire for a los angeles shop.
but since you've already claimed Greer as your brick and mortar want, there's a store that closed here and is in the process of building their website: http://www.elephantgifts.com. i miss going in and browsing and chatting.

February 22, 2010 at 8:39 pmI would definitely have to say Johnny Cupcakes. It's the cutest screen printing shop ever, but there's only a couple on the east coast and one in LA. I do love online ordering though!

February 22, 2010 at 9:30 pmI love Greer and Chandra is the bomb. But if I had to pick a store, I'd say I wish there were a Bell'occhio in Boston.

February 22, 2010 at 9:35 pmWill you believe that I live literally a block away from this place? And have never been in? I will have to change that.
I would say I would pick Shoshona Show Ceramics. Her stuff is amazing (I have a pieces) but its so expensive to ship. http://www.etsy.com/shop/shoshonasnow

I wish we had
an Orla Kiely shop in sight.
Like right next door would be oh so convenient. And a killer on the bank account. Bonus, no overseas shipping. There's a positive in everything ;P

February 24, 2010 at 5:49 pmThe Paper Source. I have spent so much money in shipping over the last decade! When I visit a city that has one, I end up shopping till I drop. 🙂 It'd be way more convenient to have one in Philly.
Leanne
February 24, 2010 at 6:14 pmJapanese Modern Design is my favorite online store. There are products are proof that design can be beautiful and functional.
If they had a store in Phoenix, I'd probably go there a few times a week to be inspired and of course buy myself a weekly gift. 🙂

February 25, 2010 at 12:08 amBeing from Canada, there are plenty of stores I wish I could get my little tush into on a regular basis. Nevermind all the fabulous indie design online stores (wouldn't that be nice), I wouldn't mind having a real life Anthropologie store to browse now and again.

I'm about to make my own pilgrimage to Greer, and can't wait.
I wish I had an Aedes de Venustas near me, although I'd have to get a second job to support my cravings if so. Everything about it enchants me.
