Ask owner Lydia Lando about her merchandise and she'll tell you it's eclectic.And , indeed , she stocks birds of many feathers : Lexon rubber radios look perfect for rocking out while deep-sea diving.
...
The resin jewelry is big , says Lando , as two customers examine the selection.Everyone who comes into the store tries on at least a bracelet..
Another big summer hit is Lulu DK by Lulu de Kwiatkowski , who turns her unique fabrics into upholstery , pillows , table linens and handbags.
...
While Lydia admits she could charge more if her store were in New York or Los Angeles , she keeps her prices low to fit her city.Walk into to Lille and you will be hard-pressed to walk out without a purchase.Many items hover in the $20-50 range – like Oh Boy!'s ultra-chic stationary , a book of which begins at $16.50.Bigger home accessories start below $100 and go up – like Brit Andy Shaw's thrown pottery bowls with sunset-desert rings from $41 - $200 or Canada's Martha Sturdy , whose resin-colored pottery ranges from $154 to $407.
...
And while you may miss the store the first go-round , when you finally find it , Lydia will be there , arranging and rearranging the hip household accessories that will bring you back again and again.
