I’ve ordered from the shoppe a few times and love everything I get from them. Lauren is a very pretty lady. I can’t wait to go there next time I’m in SF.

the curiosity shoppe has plenty of more practical items to buy, i just didn’t photograph all of them. for the purposes of this website i choose the products that i find to be the most visually interesting. the store sells books, artwork, stationery and a slew of more functional things- i just happen to prefer the “curiosities” among the collection.

This may be the biggest rip off of the original McSweeney’s store in Park Slope brooklyn I’ve ever seen. Do they even credit McSweeney’s? Wow.

i went to curiousity shoppe a cpl weeks ago to buy a gift for a friend’s birthday. the store is definitely clever and fun to explore, but there was absolutely nothing in there that was practical or good-looking-enough to actually buy. acorn earrings? those weird log things? i thought good design was synonymous with good aesthetic?! other product they have is the same design-stuff you see everywhere. honestly i had hoped for more. i think it’s a problem that some of these design stores (candy store in sf is another good example) are fun to shop in, but you never actually want to buy something there. am i alone here?!

I feel like a dummy: I didn’t even realize those peanuts were porcelain when I saw them in the shop last week. Must make a return trip to pick up a handful of them …
