Charlton and I just got back from a grand tour through the northeast. One of my favorite parts of the trip was a visit to Shane Confectionery and the Franklin Fountain in Old Town, Philadelphia.
Both stores are owned by two brothers who have a love of history and express it in such a unique way through their business. The stores take you back into time with a product that is most delightful. The ice cream I had at Franklin Fountain was the best ice cream I had ever had! At Shane, I tried a sampling of cream filled eggs which were very delicious. The store was beautiful and had many specialty candies to choose from.
I highly recommend a visit to both shops, they sit together on one hundreed block of Market Street.
My camera died so I did not get any pictures of my own, these are from the facebook page of the two shops.

keep calm and carry on
Charlton loves history, I love design, every now and then the two collide and this is a most beautiful instance...

love the branding...c. wonder
I love the branding of C. Wonder, a luxury retail chain full of design details and surprises.
The use of bright colors and pattern and how everything from the graphics to the store look
are cohesive in their look.
