Why I Love Fairfield ~ Barbara Barbara!

Another 'Why I Love Fairfield' post on the wonderful local store Barbara Barbara.

One of my favorite places to shop for that special gift is in downtown Southport. I have been giving the Fun, Funky & Fabulous baby blankets for years as baby gifts, and every time I do I am told it is their absolute favorite blanket that they own…the blankets are beyond soft and come in an array of colors. Barbara Barbara also carries a line of butter soft baby ballet slippers that, if it is a really really good friend, I will include with the blanket!

She also carries leather and canvas handbags, lots of scented candles, stationary and gift cards, really cool and trendy reading glasses, and gorgeous scarves. When I went in to see Barabra last week she was just unpacking a shipment of silk scarves for spring…and one was more lovely than the next. Of course I bought an orange one, and I cannot wait to wear it! And if pillows are your thing, she has the most unique and stunning ones you will find. Plus so many more one of kind finds, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

If you have any reason to buy a gift for someone, big or small, Barbara Barbara is the place to go. Barbara is always there with a warm greeting and a smile. Tell her you heard about her wonderful store from me..thanks.
