Okay, I have a new favorite store. And I’m almost afraid to share it with you, because shop-owner Rachel Eden doesn’t really maintain any backstock. So, if you see a dress in your size, you need to snap it up because it’s probably the only one available — not just in this store, in the entire western half of the U.S.

Eden & Eden carries a lot of European labels that you can’t find anywhere else around here. So it’s perfect for those of us who enjoy walking around in our Ivana Helsinki dress, knowing that every other girl on the street covets but can’t have it.

In addition to adorable new and vintage clothing, the store offers a well-edited selection of housewares. There’s a range of prices — including Lovely Home tea towels and doily placemats that are under $20, as well as vintage floral wall ornaments that are $100-200. Bigger furnishings are more expensive.

Even if you can’t afford to spend half a month’s rent on a floor lamp, maybe you can take home a brightly colored chain necklace for $52? You just have to beat me to the store and buy it before I do.

Once upon a time, Rose and Radish was a shop devoted entirely to floral arrangements. But we are so glad that owner Cate Kellison decided to expand the storefront, creating a gallery-like space for modern pieces.

Rose and Radish stocks lamps, tabletop accessories, adorable knick-knacks such as little animal bobbleheads, and even large-scale furniture (I love the ventless fireplace and Blu Dot tables). But even when I’m not in the buying mood, I like to pop in and check out the displays here. The photo above shows the store all decked out for the “Urban” exhibit.

Don’t forget to check out the lovely letterpressed cards by the front door. They’re the perfect finishing touch to a gift or bouqet of flowers picked up at Rose and Radish.
