HomeSense Opening on Robson

[P.C.]

Maybe so Michel.....but it was great back then.  There was also Cost Plus, which I really like.  They still have them in the States, and I never miss an opportunity to go to one when I can.  Eclectic stuff from all over the world....and their import foods section is AWESOME.  We once got cases of beer for a few friends.  There were 12 different beers....each one from a different country.  The case itself was cool too.

A weird gift, but everyone who got them really loved them.  One of our friends had a beer tasting party.....each person sampled shot glasses of each beer.

There's a Pier 1 in Bellingham that I much prefer than up here.  Prices are almost half the price.  There isn't a lot of selection of things.  I only buy their weed diffuser... the citrus one...smells divine!

  My guy and I used to spend hours walking around strip malls and checking out stores that had unique home and gift things.  Broadway/Granville has some awesome lil shops.  I miss those days.  We'll do it again this summer.

  Last week, I was to go to Queensborough's Walmart but accidentally drove to HomeSense instead that was on Marine and Byrne.  I thought Walmart was there!  Every other big store was occupying that new space.   I ended up walking out with too many things from HomeSense....

It looks like JYSK.  

  The closest one is in Tacoma... past the Outlets.. too far from Bellingham.   But, we'll be heading down to Seattle later and will surely check that out.

A teeny bit like Jysk.  But it's a world market, so there are so many unique things there from everywhere.  I particularly like their international foods section.  Not only is there a massive variety, they also have a whole section of the mini sizes of things....perfect for putting together a personalized basket of goodies.

 Wow.  So you get up and open the window (in the middle of the night, in winter) so you can stretch out your legs?
