Surprise! A post that is NOT about pumpkin. Last night, I drove over to the World Market in Fort Union. This store is by far, the COOLEST store I have ever seen. I have a passion for learning about and exploring other cultures, and this store is my latest find to feed that passion. It's about the size of a Bed, Bath & Beyond, and it has everything from furniture, to kitchen supplies, to dishes, to books, to mirrors, to picture frames, to lamps, to candles, to random home decor- all from different countries. Oh, and did I mention the food? Candy, drinks, pasta, sauces, spices, soup, cookies, cakes, etc. from ALL OVER THE WORLD. All this, in a little store in Fort Union, Utah.
And, since we're in the holiday season now, the store is PACKED to the brim with all kinds of holiday decorations, candy, cookies, cake, advent calendars, gingerbread houses, etc. And the neat thing about this, is that all of these items are from different countries. I'd have to say there is a STRONG amount of German supplies, because, in case you were not aware, Germany is the MOTHER LOAD of all things Christmas, but you can also find a lot of stuff from Scotland, Spain, France, England, etc. And there is a special section for the Asian countries, too- so there's a little bit for everyone.
Now, this small description of my experience at the store barely scratches the surface of all of the different supplies and country items this place has to offer, so PLEASE go check it out for yourself. It's truly a unique store, and a fun place to spend an hour or two exploring, for those of us who can't afford a million trips around the world- here is your chance to experience a little bit of the many amazing places out there.

Next time you go you need to by McVitie's Biscuits/Cookies. Buy the chocolate with caramel one. It’s a cookie/biscuit with chocolate on top and caramel in the middle. I discovered them in London and have been addicted ever since!
