The Urban Gardner is one of my favorite 'finds' on wonderful Armitage Avenue. They are just west of the Starbucks at Sheffield, on the north side of the street. This little shop, which actually occupies a brownstone-style building, has tons of nooks and crannies with trenmendous finds everywhere. In particular, I always make it a point to use the Votivo products, especially their home scent sprays and sometimes their candles for the bathroom. They have a red currant line (or something like that) that just smells so, so good. A few mists, and friends invited over for the evening's dinner party simply melt with pure satisfaction (well, certainly after they taste that new Pinot Grigio that you found at Sam's last night...)
The Urban Gardner is opening a new store and has invited me to the opening party tonight. The new location is over near Webster and Elston, by the popular car wash. The invitation offered hor'Dourves and drinks, so I'm so there.
