Past Present Future first won me over while window shopping gave curious glimpses of Frida Kahlo,…read moreSalvador Dali, Day of the Dead, extensive artworks, jewelry, and fascinating lamps. But walking in and becoming a customer has allowed me to discover an eclectic emporium of artistic curiosities that's organized and crafted by a cool old couple. I curve to 4 stars just because a lot of the art & craft items inside do yield a bit of a hefty price tag, especially for my favorite Day of the Dead items. But whether you're looking for craft jewelry, something new & exciting to hang on your wall, a new coffee mug, a fancy housewarming gift, and then some; you'll find it here. It's especially perfect if you need to shop for someone as eclectic and quirky as my mom is. PPF also curates a number of the main line artistic events that go on, and does a number of good sales that you'll only find out about off their Facebook and newsletters.

I'm not sure how it would turn out if they were packed with customers. Every visit when I have been there I'm one of less than 10 customers, so it works out.

This is the best soap I've used, clean and simple ingredients with a pure scent. The bar doesn't melt fast, which makes the $8 worth every penny. I went back to Whole Foods for another bar, unfortunately for me they sold out. Fortunately for Abiyah! Did a little research and found they have a store front. I'm so excited to go in and smell all the items.

After almost 20 years Barnes & Noble is back in the same location. They have made many upgrades and…read moreof course still have all of your old favorites. They have a private parking lot and occupy both floors as they did in the past. The upstairs, which is accessible by elevator, had a Starbucks and a nice seating area. You are welcome to their free WiFi and can stay as long as you like. No purchase necessary! You can take books and magazines from the shelf to peruse while you are there. In addition to the wide variety of books and magazines, they have a gift section with puzzles, board games, stationary, wrapping paper and more. The staff seemed absolutely delighted and were eager to help and promote the store. They have more regional control over their offerings and have a nice selection of Philadelphia items in stock. They also have regular events and I was told Ginger Spice will be there in April to promote her kids book. Still has that brand new smell, stop in and check it out, great to have them back in the neighborhood!

B&N realizes that people need community spaces, and their new stores are a way to promote places for people to gather. This location has community events with local and national touring authors as well. I saw Ginger Spice on her YA Fantasy book series in April, and I made a friend at the event. WTG on building community, B&N. There is plenty of parking, and it's an easy walk from the Bryn Mawr regional rail station. They have books and toys on 2 floors, and a cafe upstairs. The staff is really friendly, and if you mention their community events, they will clue you into what's on the calendar. I always support local bookstores over chains, and that won't change. But the community events that this location hosts are a great addition to the neighborhood. Thanks for returning to Bryn Mawr, B&N!

Now we go to Sweet Trading Company to get chocolates for all of our events/holidays/etc. The taste of their plain chocolate (dark and milk are equally delish), is amazing, but some of my faves are the chocolate coconut clusters, sea salt caramels, and mint bark. Jody remembers us and we always have nice conversations. It's a friendly and welcoming environment.
