These are the coolest stores all over Belgium and the Netherlands.  My Mom would feel like she died and went to heaven.  I don't think I would ever be able to drag her out of here.  These stores have everything to do with making a house a home. 

I have noticed smaller boutiques like these scattered throughout Paris and the French countryside as well. 

Come on in and have a look around....... (I would have had more pictures for you but the staff at this store were very unhappy with me and my camera) 

They had every size and shape of scrub brush you could imagine.  I have noticed this in France as well.  They make cleaning look very serious and so very chic.

Now that I have cleaned my house and watered my bulbs; I will grab one of these straw bags and walk to one of the many outdoor markets for lunch.
