Here and About- St. Louis- Part 1

So- What do you get in the Shaw District

 in St. Louis

 when you combine a 

talented young shop owner entrepreneur 

with a flair for vintage goodness?

 Yup- the sweet life at 

Bonboni Home and Gift Co.
Bonboni-St. Louis

 Bonboni Shop owner- 

Lauren Thorp

Bonboni is a mixture of handmade, reclaimed, 

salvaged, quirky and awesome.

Pre-loved, well-loved and newly-loved 

mingle with authentic art audacity.

Bonboni showcases a fun sense of play

with an appreciation of past.

A blessed outing with friends 

makes the adventure even more fun.
Close to the Missouri Botanical Garden-
so don't miss this close-by stop.

And what do you get when you combine 

the charm of a Paris bakery

 with fine artistry and a sense of humor?

Perhaps a cake that appeals

 to the men in your life?

Special occasion, 

wedding or stop by for pastry and coffee.

The visual delight of a macaroon display, 

and the display stands in waiting-

 all hint of the changing of goodness.

Two fun St. Louis

establishments-

 just waiting to meet you 

at the door.
