I understand why Anemoia won Best of Clay * Boutique * Gift Shop * Interior Design categories. Anemoia is special--it literally is like stepping into a multiverse of creative possibilities. Walking around the shop feels like wandering into different worlds & eras. Just to name a few: Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter-world, Edgar Allen Poe-gothic, Victorian steampunk, a Prohibition speakeasy....or a time when communication was more intentional, less rushed and tangible (Anemoia is the local stationery shop of my dreams!).

There will be no ink leaking out and staining anything! I'm still amazed, so I had to leave...
