Hearting HEMA

I've found a rainy-day cure in Brussels - and it's a Dutch department/bargain store called HEMA. No matter what the weather might be, a visit to the store, which can best be described as an irresistible mix of American Target, Japanese Muji, and French Monoprix, always manages to cheer up the cheap-o, design-lovin' bargain hunter in me. (I promise I don't work for them, but the childhood spent in Holland may make me particularly susceptible.)
