Back in December I noted that Edwards Luggage would be relocating from the backside of Broadway Plaza to a new Broadway Plaza spot next to Neiman Marcus and they are very close to reopening at this new location. The old location has now closed and now every store on the backside of Broadway Plaza has closed except for Banana Republic, which will open across the street in March.

Thanks to a reader for sending word that the kids and maternity consignment store They Grow So Fast on Mt. Diablo Blvd. in Lafayette will be closing for good tomorrow. According to a letter posted in the store their rent was raised by 50% which caused them to leave after 21 years in business.

From their Facebook page:
Begin Where You Are. No matter your goals or desires, you have no choice to start where you are, look around and feel your moment and sense your life and determine what is of value to you, This is how we can approach our creative life and go from a “blank canvas” to a beautiful experience. This and more was the topic of my TEDx talk in 2011.
What most interests me about art and the process of creativity is the transformative power it can have in our life. Allowing creativity to flow opens up a doorway to unlimited possibility. For this reason I believe and teach that art has the power to heal. I have witnessed it and continue to witness it on this sometimes gut-wrenching and beautiful journey.
Come visit the brick and mortar studio/gallery in Lafayette, CA. We will launch our official opening Feb. 2014 3620 Mt. Diablo Blvd.

Back in December I noted that the French goods store Decors de France would be relocating to Cypress St. in downtown Walnut Creek and they are now open. If you are a fan of the French countryside this is a must-see. Their soap collection smells great, too.
