Eat, Laugh, Shop…
If you are a fan of Elizabeth Gilbert’s famous book,
Eat Pray Love,
you will be amused to read
where I spent the day yesterday…
In her store…
Two Buttons is located in the quaint river town
of Frenchtown, NJ.
Elizabeth Gilbert lives nearby
and opened the store with her husband a few years ago.
They sell treasures from all over the world
in their large warehouse.
There was so much to take in while browsing around.
Don’t you love all these colorful knobs?
Basically there is nothing you “need” there
but you could spend hours examining all the unique objects.
The store is like Pier One on steroids!
I didn’t take too many pictures on my iphone
but as you can see there were buddas all over
as well as trinkets in every price range.
(I bought a cute bracelet for $15.00)
Be sure to head over to their website to see more.
They just added an online store too.
My friend and I could have shopped in the store for hours
but we had already spent most of our time
in the amazing restaurant next door –
I seriously LOVED the food in that place!
They use fresh, local ingredients
and the very healthy menu included many vegan options.
(Not that I am a vegan, but I attempt it every now and then!)
We spent our leisurely lunch
catching up and laughing hysterically like we do
every time we get together.
We plan to go back to both places when we have more time but
I had to dash home to get the kids off the bus.
It was the perfect day to
Eat, Laugh, Shop!
Have you been to any unique stores lately?
I had no idea she had a shop. Might have to check it out the next time we are up in NJ.
I like how you said there is nothing we NEED. I live in a small house so I always ask myself if I NEED it. Usually I don't, but sometimes I just WANT something special.I loved all the knobs. I just decided that I should switch knobs like I do pillows and flowers in my house. There are so many great knobs out there.
That looks like a wonderfully fun and exotic store.
Thanks for sharing! We are actually headed to New Hope/Lambertville for our anniversary in April, so I may have to take a trip up there!Shopping + Lunch = Perfect Day!
You know I love that area too! Check out Hamilton's Grille and have a drink at The Boat House when you are in Lambertville!
Cool Maybe I will get a chance to go there next time I visit! Thanks for the peek!
I love the collections of knobs. What a place to shop! xo
Now, this looks like one neat store…thanks for sharing it.Blessings,Linda
I loved that book and movie! I had no idea she had a store. It looks like stimulation overload, but my kind of afternoon! Glad you had a girls day out and a blast..it's so rejuvenating, isn't it? Thanks for stopping by- say hi to Rosie, and have a great week.xo NancyPowellbrowerhome.com
It can be interesting to visit this shop!
