So I recently discovered the joys of boutique shopping. Never been in one before, but as I'll be house sitting for one of the nurses I work with, she wanted to show me around her neighborhood in Jamaica Plain (Boston) were there is a bunch of them. We ended up going hat shopping. I love hats, but never found any that really looked all that great on me...until now!

We spent an hour in the shop trying on all kinds of hats and the store owner kept bringing us more to try on. Eventually we selected a couple to buy. And the prices were not as high as I had heard they can be. It was a lot of fun. And there's so many more of these shops around the corner from where her house is. And a lot of great eateries, too!

I'm just watching her 2 cats and 5 houseplants, and bringing in her mail. That's it. And I'm going to be there for a whole week, with full run of her house and refrigerator!!!!! Oh, and she's paying me!!!!! mrgreen

Those boutiques are so not ready for the likes of me, lol.

xd I can imagine you wreaking havoc in a boutique... Actually come to think of it I might wreak havoc with you. I've been to specialty stores before and well I THINK that one store I went to would be considered a boutique but I am not sure. I WOULD love to drive one of those people insane though.

I used to do that to the poor workers at Victoria's Secret by groping the dummies every time a sales person tried to approach me while my friends were trying stuff on. Saying "Oh, squishy!" is fairly effective if you don't want to be pestered.

Have you been to the sandwich shop there called Junebug? It's got really tasty sandwiches and coffee. There's also a great resteraunt called "The Alchemist". My sister used to live in a building that was right across from those places.

Aren't boutiques usually those expensive brand name stores that specialize in like a single item? And usually look more like a gallery than a store?

Then again I might be thinking of the really fashionable ones you see on tv that movie stars shop in.

Aww, shucks!

Someday I should tell you about the water snake toys in the Discovery Store and how I single-handedly and accidentally managed to corrupt old ladies a little kid and a dad...all at once! mrgreen I still wonder how I have never been banned from these places, lol.

That's pretty much it, but not all of them are really pricey apparently.
