Cute Shops I Enjoy Sharing

So some of you know about my passion for Shanty, in Newport, Wa.  Best coffee/clothing boutique/household cuties in the eastern part of the state in my opinion. I pretty much always buy something there. Well, it's time to introduce you to another great find! Chaps, in Spokane, Wa. It's an old house that was lovingly restored and added onto into an amazing bakery/coffee shop. It makes sense to me that at some point she will sell more than just the adorable t-shirts advertising the bakery but time will tell. When she is in the store she is very personable, apparently my mother noticed she "looked tired" once so she sat down and chatted about the six year journey it had been to reach the level of success they are at now and she was soooo thankful to my mom for noticing. Warm and friendly, these are the "real people" small business owners I love to support. So now I share pictures of the amazing work the owner and her husband have done. Great coffee too!
