Head for the barn! Pottery Barn Kids has arrived...

It's their first store in Western Canada, and one of the largest yet.  With over 10,000 square feet of Children's furniture, bedding, bath, rugs, decorative accessories, window treatments, ledges, lighting, and toys (oh, the toys) - all designed for the birth-8 yr old set - it looks like we'll have one more excuse for that redesign of the kiddies' rooms.  The store has a registry service (with complimentary gift wrap) and will be offering complimentary story hours, sing-alongs, and decorating classes.  There is an in-store washroom, lots of room for strollers, and FANTASTIC gift ideas for kids & babies. The toys are safety-tested, and non-toxic, and inspired from classic designs - think building blocks, toy phones, wooden cars - and much of the bedding is organic.  There's just too much to write here.  We were very impressed with our sneak preview, and looking forward to heading back for a little shopping of our own!

Head to 2935 Granville Street, Vancouver.  See you there!
