Exterior, Woodson & Rummerfield's L.A. shop
A friend and customer just forwarded me the following e-mail, bearing a headline that has become the mantra of so many retailers lately (ourselves included):
"It Is Time to Rediscover the Elegance of Basics"
And here's the text that follows, which has got me all in a tizzy:
"Dear valued W&R Patrons,
At the end of July, Woodson & Rummerfield’s showroom will be moving from La Cienega Blvd to ONLINE. http://www.wandrhome.com/
There will be new and interesting home good products online that will have you absolutely pining. This means our online retail site and design offices are continuing onward, full force with many exciting projects in the works!

Those of you who know me or follow our blog know how much I love Woodson & Rummerfield, and one of the to-do's topping my list for the last few years has been a visit to their charming shop. Looks like I had better start making my travel plans...who's with me?
In the meantime, I have penned a letter of my own:
"Dear Economy,
You suck.
Sincerely,
Me."

I'm kinda thinking about it, Rebecca, despite how ridiculously complicated it would be to arrange. I'll go if you do.
P.S.
Why must you hit good things. can't you take out the cheaply made crap instead???
I agree - the economy stinks! It's hard to see the good brick and mortar's go.

Again Leah.....so eloquently said. And yah, I feel the W&R sadness here too. It makes me feel a little affirmation when royalty can't even make it. This really bites though.
aww, and i've been to their store a few times and it's so cute!! so sad, and an unfortunate sign of the times.
btw, i just wanted to let you know that we awarded you the I Love Your Blog Award! You can see the award in today's post on our blog! Feel free to pass it along to those other blogs you love!!
