I love it when my customers give me tips about lovely shops around the world. Several months ago a shopper told me about this lovely one in her city of Chicago - Asrai Garden. There aren't many home and floral lifestyle shops - which I obviously have a passion for - so when she told me about it I was excited to see what it was like. Their website doesnt disappoint! A shop full of natural wonders, home deocr, gifts, finerie, and flowers. Owner Elizabeth Cronin has an amazing eye and has been sharing her vision for 11 years. Floral arrangements that are natural, unstructured, and gorgeous. My heart goes pitter pat. If you are ever in Chicago do go by and check out this wondroous place. and get a hand tied bouquet while you are there.
Great shop. I think her bio is about the cutest thing I've ever read: http://www.asraigarden.com/BioElizabeth.php#images/galleries/BioElizabeth/BioElizabeth_001.png
Thanks for sharing!

I have a flower shop in the UK, and came over to swoon over yours, and you give me this one too. Perfectly inspired, if only mine wasn't 600 years old and had high ceilings....
