A little haven called Terrain..

The little monster Sam and I accompanied Mr Lim on his work trip to Philadelphia over the weekend. While Mr Lim was away at work, I took a short little road trip myself to a lovely town called Glenn Mills, a 30 minutes drive from Philly. After dumping the little boy at Petsmart for grooming, I used the free time to visit one of my favourite stores in the states - Terrain @ Styers Garden Center. Just a little background - Terrain is a home & garden lifestyle store from Urban Outfitters and is a 11 acre garden center blending home fashion and horticulture. I was first introduced to this place when I went with Ray and Yilin on a day trip and I loved it! 

 Lucky me..it was another beautiful winter day! (Hee, the winter's been treating us real nice this year!)

 I absolutely adore the outdoorsy vintage cupboard (well, it was priced at USD2000+ though. -_-).

 I was tempted to buy the 'dogs' sign but felt that the USD25 price tag was a tad bit high.

I went for a yummy lunch at the Styer's cafe which was well hidden behind the bar. It was a glasshouse cafe and was just gorgeous. 

 Probably the best ginger beer ever!

I love how they served the popover bread in a flower pot. It's definitely true to the store. And the maple and lavender butter (topped with a little sea salt) was heavenly~~~~ Oh, and yes, the bread tasted wayyy better than its burnt look.  

My main was a Lobster roll which was decent. Hee, I was so blown away by the the butter that I left half of my croissant. =P

After the heavenly indulgence, I shopped and bought 4 jars of Philadelphia-made honey and a chalkboard sign. Well, I really couldn't afford any of the furniture pieces and I would probably kill any plants I buy. But all in all, it was an excellent trip and very relaxing as well. Hee, here's another motivation to follow Mr Lim on his future road trips to Philly!
