After stopping at the one baby store I knew of in Decatur, which closes at 5pm (seriously? Who closes at 5pm? When are working women supposed to shop????), I tried a non-baby store that has some baby stuff. But most of their stuff is kitsch and not exactly shower appropriate. Though I did briefly consider these onesies:
But quickly decided they were inappropriate for a shower gift.
So feeling defeated (and hungry) I decided to just head home and tackle the shopping over the weekend. But as I was driving home, I stopped at a red light (like good drivers should do) and looked to my right only to see a BABY STORE! So I quickly pulled around the block, found a parking spot and ran in, hoping they were still open at 6:40pm. I was in luck!
The store is called Feather Baby and it just opened a last month. It is located at 431 W. Ponce De Leon Ave, Decatur, GA 30030 – next to Fleet Feet and the scooter shop (not sure of the name). It’s in the same building as Decatur Hot Yoga and next door to Goat Feathers and across the street from The Marlay (formerly known as The Grange, f/k/a The Angel). And while we’re at it, the new Farm Burger (amazing) is just down the street.
The store is absolutely precious! The owner, Sude, and her family just moved to Atlanta from New York six weeks ago. Sude has 5 year old triplets and was as nice as can be. Along with being the owner, Sude is also the designer of the Feather Baby organic clothing line, which she of course carries in the store. The fabric patterns were adorable and some were very posh, but sweet at the same time. There honestly wasn’t one thing in the store that I wouldn’t want for my baby! And I found shower gifts for both of my friends – it was the perfect store for such an occasion.
So if you live in the area, I encourage you to check out Feather Baby the next time you’re in Decatur or in need of a baby gift or just some stylish cute clothes for a baby. And if you don’t live in the area, please visit her website – http://www.featherbaby.com/ – to see a list of locations in your area that carry the Feather Baby line, or to purchase the clothes directly from the website. She has her collections posted on the website (the two pieces above are from her line) and if you take a quick look, I know you’ll love them too!
Happy Shopping. I may just have to stop back in on Monday after I find out if Baby S is a boy or a girl and pick up a little treat…
Adorable stuff. I went to the website. There is a retail shop that carries Feather Baby in Glenn Ellyn about less than 10 miles north of us. I think that's where Brian's wife's parents live. I can't wait to check it out.
