The quest for the perfect gift for my wife's aunt had led us to Purple Orchid. Her aunt collects owl figurines but since she has been collecting for a long time now, it's hard to find something that she still doesn't have.
This home and décor store just opened in 2014 and we're hoping that they have a unique owl figurine somewhere. Purple Orchid has an eclectic selection of Asian inspired furniture, décors, and other pieces for the home. They have both modern and classic pieces. All the items they offer are not only beautiful but elegant as well. Even the way the store has been designed and decorated will tell you that it's an upscale shop. I love their lamps, dark wood cabinets with intricately designed doors, colorful teapots and teacups, gold gilded seashells, and hand painted peacock throw pillows. I also learned from the storekeeper that they have items that are locally made.
Finally, after a few minutes of rummaging through the shop, we found an owl bookend for my wife's aunt. Before buying the piece, we had to make sure that her aunt still didn't have such item. Alas! My mother-in-law trumped us when she told us over the phone that she already bought the exact same owl bookend for her sister's birthday. Too bad, we really thought that this was the store that would end our quest for elusive owl figurines. read more
