Fall

Creighton Edward Launches Madison, NJ Location

I literally almost had a stroke!

I don’t have much time for retail therapy, but one of my favorite haunts in the greater Seattle area was Creighton Edward. Housed in a little red barn, Creighton Edward was the jewel of Gilman Village… packed with luxe home furnishings and divine bath & body products.

When I dropped by after an abnormally long absence, Creighton Edward was no more!

There is a silver lining to this story, however. Creighton Edward will still exist. The gorgeous little boutique has simply moved across the country to Madison, NJ. The grand re-opening is planned for August 14th. As a native of northern New Jersey, it warms my heart that I will still get to visit my favorite little shop… even if it’s not quite as often. My son will surely insist that I re-stock the yummy candy-scented counter cleanser that Creighton sweetly gave him as a gift!
