Sweet Escape: McMaster & Storm Online Shop May 9, 2008
from the McMaster & Storm website
Remember our lovely Creative Inspiration Week gift wrap tutorial by none other than the now famous (they were featured entrepreneurs in Country Living Magazine!) Kara and Darcy from the “petite department store” McMaster & Storm? Well, I am pleased to announce the opening of Kara & Darcy’s new online shop, McMaster & Storm! These girls have been working tirelessly to bring all the sweet goodness of their shop in Ohio to all of us near and far. Please pay them a visit, and let them know I sent you. They are delightful ladies and their shop is oozing with charm, you’ll love it all! Go ahead, buy yourself a present. You deserve it. Or at least window shop. It is your Sweet Escape for the weekend.

Congratulations, Kara & Darcy! You are a great inspiration to us all!
PS. Kara informs me that she is going be doing some updating on the gift wrapping tutorial this summer and we will featuring it here on The Inspired Room! Yipee! Stay tuned, first she needs to recover from all the technical challenges of launching an online shop! We’ll try to wait patiently, for her sake.
Thanks for the wonderful heads-up! This store looks great.
Happy Mother’s Day
This store looks wonderful, oh I wish it was near me
I remember them from that issue in Country Living.
I love the black and white polka dot dishes, those are super cute!
Awww, have a great weekend, Melissa. Give a kiss to Winston for me!
YES - YES! I’ve been on the lookout for old bowling pins and oversized numbers - LOVE it!
What a fabulous looking store

Melissa, have a wonderful and hopefully, spring time weekend where you are.
Oh, those ribbons are lovely! A drawer of dreams!
What a great find! Thanks for sharing!
Melissa,
Oh, how nice of you to post this for your sweet escape this Friday!
Now, Darcy & I need a real escape!!!! Any ideas!!! I wish Portland was in the near future!! Enjoy your weekend, Melissa!
Love,
Kara & Darcy
Melissa, What a fun shop! I want to go there this weekend - too bad I am in Texas! Thanks for your thoughts on the Veranda post - I am feeling like maybe I was just in a funk and too negative - of course those houses are perfect, and they do inspire good design for those of us who study them! I always appreciate your perspective - Happy weekend to you too.
Love their shop and had the opportunity to see the write up in Country Living magazine. I was given a heads up to the article from some of the home town girls, where either Kara or Darcy, had a shop - Turlock, CA. I never had the opportunity to visit the store, however have heard wonderful things about them and their items they sell. Too bad they are so far away, however if ever back in Ohio, they will be on the map for must visits.
Thanks for sharing, Melissa. Happy Mother’s Day, too! You are such a beautiful mother!!
