Hunt & Gather

huntngathermantra1016jpg.jpg Technically Hunt & Gather is an antique store. But what it offers - a visual cacophony of color combos, many multiples and ingenious groupings - is anything but dated. A type-lovers nirvana, it overflows with letterforms (we snapped 14 different displays).

 
 

Twenty-five-plus exhibitors sell their wares in the bigger-than-it-looks-from-outside store, zealously art directed by owner Kristi.

Strengths: Lettermania, quality stuff, and ever-changing merchandising. If you collect anything, go. The display ideas are unbeatable.

Dangers: You'll want to buy and the loyal following means you'd better if you want it.

love this shop! Stop in monthly, always find at least a trinket to take home with me. The prices are really reasonable as well.
