The Shop Around the Corner
Aug 13th, 2007 by Marie
I love the movie You’ve Got Mail. Meg Ryan is at her best in romantic comedy fashion. My favorite parts are the scenes in the Shop Around the Corner. I love those little specialty shops. They are all about their charm. I just want to eat up all the children’s books on the shelves. And I love story time, I need a storytime hat like hers. I think it came with a wand too. There is also the 1940’s version of the movie: The Shop Around the Corner.
The Shop Around the Corner got me thinking of the cute little shops around my corner. I love to drive down the main drag of the towns near by. Here are a few must see Shops Around the Corner in Utah.
King’s English Bookshop: It has been around for 30 years located in a quaint Salt Lake City neighborhood. They are having a 30 year 30% off celebration in September.
Finder’s Keepers: Always a good find here located in American Fork. From furniture to home decor, beautiful things at a reasonable price.
Corn Wagon Quilt Company: Located in Springville, this place has all things crafty. I go here for all my primitive stitchery needs. They have good quality fabric too.
Naborhood Bakery: After a big day shopping at Gardner Village in West Jordan, we go straight to this delicious bakery. They have made to order sandwiches and yummy treats and desserts. Always a hit.
Where else have you been that resembles The Shop Around the Corner? Let us all in on the finds in your area. Have fun shopping around.
I was just thinking about You’ve Got Mail the other day! I love that movie, too.
I love hearing about all these places I need to try when I come to UT for a visit next week. I’ll have to add those to my list. My husband is a librarian and both of us love books. We’ll have to head to that book store.
Thanks!
One more thing–you should come, if you can, to a Blogger’s Lunch on August 23rd in Provo. I’d love to meet you! You can e-mail me at cafejohnsonia@yahoo.com if you are interested. I’ll send you the details. (Anyone and everyone is invited to come–Kelly might even be able to come.)
I love gardner village, so if you ever visiting the bakery, stop by pine needles, their fabric store. That is my fav! Then I love the 9th and 9th district in SLC, they have a really cute boutique/children bookshop called the Children’s Hour that is adorable. Then in Highland there is a cute little shop, Dear Lizzie.
I’ve heard of a lot of cool places off the ‘Your Heart Out’ blog too!
marie!! i LOVE youve got mail!!! my whole family makes fun of me for it too. they dont get why i like it so much. but it will never get old! i could watch it over and over! good movie to watch while you are sick! haha!
And Meriel, I love Pine needles too. I need to check out Children’s Hour and Dear Lizzie. You always know the goods. I still want to eat at Swagat.
And I should have mentioned Your Heart Out as the Best Utah source. Check it out, it is listed on my side bar as Fabulous.
I love that movie! I’m in Utah RIGHT NOW- I think I may have to check out some of those shops. We’re hitting up hogle zoo tomorrow morning. My kids really want to see that white alligator!
If you want to see a cute shop that’s ALL GOURMET POPCORN go to Colorado Kernels in Orem (600 N 1200 W) by Center Stage Dance. So cute stuff and Yummy popcorn. See their website to look at their Chocolate Avalanche, Cherry Cordial and Blizzard!
