Pieces-by the Private Connection

This little gem of a gift shop must be called the Private Connection because it is so private that it’s never even open. I used to work nearby here and I must have drooled on those windows countless times at all the foreign imported gifts, and decorations! But the drool was all for naught, I could never get in! The door even has a sign in it with the owner/manager’s contact numbers, in case you see something you like. I suppose I should be kind of thankful it’s never open because lord knows, I would spend ridiculous amounts of dollars there if it was!
I finally got to go in during the Art for Art’s Sake festival. They had the doors wide open and a cute little bluesy band playing out front. I walked in and was in heaven. Statues from far away places, gorgeous layered silk skirts, beaded bracelets, wooden carvings, scarves, candles and wall hangings… tons of incredible pieces, I cannot try to recall them all. So many colors and textures, my senses were happily overwhelmed! Alas, the prices are a bit steep but this is to be expected as you can almost feel the stories behind each object.
I covet everything in that place and have my heart set on a few objects I will definitely return for. Now if only there were more art festivals on Magazine so I could get in there again!
