I have loved Crate & Barrel since I was in University and I moved into my very first apartment! I remember how excited I was when a store finally opened up here in Edmonton! Every once in a while I still wander in to look at the beautiful displays and see what’s new for the […]

I love everything about Fall…the leaves turning colour, cozy knits and boots, the crispness in the air and the excitement of the upcoming holidays.
