design sponge

being shop girl, i am really lucky to get to meet some really random and usually really awesome people. and on good days this means that they broaden my this is cool shit horizons.

today was one of those great days! a cute girl came in with a really great bag, and as we got to talking thanks to that jumping off point she mentioned that she was in from out of town and had heard about our store on a blog that she follows.

"and which blog is this?" i asked excitedly...because you know me, i love the blogs!
"design sponge" she replied
"ooooo" i squealed in a poor attempt at covering my intrigue at this new bloggy treat (that sounds disgusting but i'm keeping it!)

i kindly waited until she had left the store to jump to the site...you know because it would just be rude to ignore a real person for the digital world of the interweb!

but oh golly! once i got there i obviously fell in obsession!! i quickly clicked on the city guide link and found myself in heaven....city guides for places i love, places i miss and places i can't wait to see!

salt lake was my first stop, just because i'm always interested in seeing how other people view my hometown. but on my way down the list i spotted buenos aires, charlotte nc (what what mp!!), london (my love), manhattan (if you can ever get out of the studio z), paris (mon coeur) and a whole big long list of other intriguing destinations.

oh man this makes me want to buy a massive multi-stop ticket and just take off to explore the globe according to the sponge!

but phew...i am clearly very utah hip seeing as i am very aware of the places they have highlighted. and now there is a certain level of trust! sooo on to the next destination...
