The Pod (Uptown Normal Series)

window front at The Pod, Normal, IL

So this was a store I didn't know existed! Natalie, the owner is an artist and has pieces of her work for sale along with other locals. I'm pinching myself for not taking pics of them- hers were my personal favorite. Really vibrant and colorful, she was inspired by biology and science and stuff. I felt bad telling her the one I liked the most looked like an amoeba to which she told me that's basically what she was going for (in a broader sense), so then I didn't feel bad. She was super sweet and totally cool with letting me loiter while I warmed up, too, so that was great.

I have nothing bad to say about her window display, imagine that. The triangular flow framed by the snowflakes is so lovely. But the best part lies in all the little bits on the shelf. Talk about add-ons! The amount of different kinds of product- clothing, jewelry, ceramics, and then more specific items within those categories-  is what makes this window so great and sales related. Yayyyyy. A+, Natalie.
