Shop in Brussels

It is no secret that I am smitten with Belgium and all its cute shops. Here is a shop with locations in Brussels, Paris and Antwerp. Each one has its own energy and ambiance. Emery e Cie is at the very heart of my spirit. I love bold colors nabbed from nature and forced to get along. I appreciate the elemental feeling of a single piece ...an item individually crafted by someone with skill and passion, especially of a time honored and lost art. And, I respect a shop when it has a reason for existing beyond commerce. Emery e Cie is my dream cute shop because it captures these qualities. Some day, I want to redo some rooms with Emery e Cie paints, tiles, bathroom taps and basins. For my posts, I don't usually show more than 3 or 4 pics, but I just couldn't decide...besides, they have 3 cute shops to showcase. Who is behind these lyrical shops? Agnes Emery, a designer and architect. She is one amazing woman!

This is truly a scrumptious shop, complete with a resident dog and locals chatting with the owner. It is hard to describe what category to put this cute shop in. It is part confiserie, part patisserie, part tea shop, part tea room...very charming! Fell in love with the lemon tart. The sencha tea was prefectly prepared. Brussels is such a lovely European city with a tapestry of styles. It is latent design hive, so look for future posts of its cute shops and ateliers.
