The Paradise and The Art of Fantasy

Have you all been watching The Paradise on PBS?  I'm hooked.  I love that they created a British drama about a department store because, admit it, we totally love the subject of shopping.  There is a definite mystic and romance all good department and small boutique and flagship stores have been able to capture in their own unique way.  
If you haven't been watching The Paradise you can catch up on episodes via Netflix and pbs.org.  It is an extremely beautiful show and will draw you right into the story.

Below are a few amazingly beautiful stores.  I think shopping in one of these fantastical places would cause me to mortgage my house.  Fantasy convinces the willing shopper.

Which store do you love to step inside?  You know, the one that inspires you and causes you to forget all reality?
Happy Monday to you all,
