The Exchange Fabulous Finds- Cost Plus World Market

I am obsessed with the store Cost Plus World Market. World Market reminds me so much of the way Pier One use to be about twenty years ago when I faithfully shopped the Uptown Lake Street store in Minneapolis. You young whippersnappers may not know this but decades ago, Pier One had a huge selection of fabulous clothes, jewelry and food from all around the world. In fact, years ago, clothing was the main staple for Pier One and over time, the store evolved more into a furniture store, completely dropping apparel and greatly reducing their selection of jewelry, food, teas and coffee from around the world. I still like Pier One, but I have really missed the fabulous jewelry and silver cuff bracelets and earrings straight from Bali and the gorgeous sheer tops from India, authentic candles and soaps from France and Italy, and the unique snacks and teas from all around the world. Until now…

Maybe I’m the last to know here, but just in case, if you have never been in a World Market store (there are several throughout Houston), you are in for a very special treat, but you need a lot of time to sift through all of the goodies from all corners of the world! It’s old school Pier One multiplied times a hundred! World Market carries items from all around the world like Asian rice crackers that are really from Asia, French Champagne that’s really from France and Bali silver cuff bracelets that are really from Bali and Turkish rugs that… well, you get it… In other words, World Market is the real worldly deal and is a fabulous find. Just give yourself at least an hour to go through the store! Their pillows are amazing, here are some of my favs (keep in mind all of these pillows are around $19.99):
