These malls are always advertised together at Christmas time, so I think they're owned by the same people. Citadel Mall is in West Ashley, and Northwoods Mall is in North Charleston. And they're a lot alike, except Citadel may be newer. They are both nice and clean, and they have all the normal mall stores. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Canvas bags - picture
from their website by grandmaR
Luden’s got its start supplying paint, groceries, hardware --even rum-- to sailors calling on Charleston’s busy seaport. With the advent of steam and diesel engines, Luden’s shifted its product assortment to meet the needs of the local mariners. In 1964, Luden’s was sold to the Butler family, who has carried on the tradition of providing the finest provisions available for the active Lowcountry lifestyle.
Bob went there and bought something for $16.95, but I don't have a clue what he bought. All I have is the receipt for his purchase.
I know he would not have bought the 'sailor bags' because, as useful as those are, he can make them himself more cheaply. According to the website, they also have an array of marine supplies, clothing, maps, fishing tackle, canoes and foul weather gear, plus gifts - things like dog collars. But we don't fish, we don't have a dog, and we don't have a canoe. So I don't know. Leave a Comment Theme: Sporting GoodsAddress: 78 Alexander St., Charleston, SC 29403Phone: 723-7829

The store at the Charleston Museum is on the ground floor. As I was walking around the balcony, I took this picture looking down onto the store. They sell clothing and various items that are featured in the museum. I didn't buy anything there for myself. There is also an internet store which has:
*Books
*Gifts
*Jewelry
The jewelry appears to be mostly church related architectural items.
*Reproductions
One of the types of reproductions was sampler kits which were quite pricey (photo 3)
They also had various children's items like books and puppets like the Barn Owl Puppet (photo 5).
Among the books, you can get:
Another's Country (Martha Zierden and Joe W. Joseph, eds.;University of Alabama Press, 376 pp.) $29.95
"This Have I Done": Samplers and Embroideries from Charleston and the Lowcountry (Jan Hiester and Ka $19.95

Aaah.... Bob Ellis, how best to describe the shoe store that has catered to at least three generations of my family? As you pass the shop, you look in the window and see the magic names: Manolo, Jimmy, Marc, Stuart, Prada....etc, etc, etc. It is difficult for many outsiders to understand the selection of fine ladies shoes available here, with such a vast array of styles.
Your curiousity piqued, you walk into the store and start looking at the shelves of shoes lining the wall. As you pick up the first pair that really gets you, a polite man comes over and offers his assistance. You point to that pair, and that pair, and that pair as he follows your progression around the wall of shoes. At last, your work done, you take a seat in one of teh upholstered chairs and wait for him to come back wiht oyur requests....
And he comes back with boxes and boxes and boxes--first showing you teh ones you asked for, and then pulling out "some other pairs from the back I thought you might enjoy." Sheer heaven, but incredibly dangerous to your pocketbook. However, a few times of year, you will be lucky, and as you sit, he will whisper the magic words "of course, they ARE on sale..." Mmmmm...
In addition to the fine selection of shoes, they also have a nice array of desinger handbags to complement your look. There are mens shoes as well, but I don't really botehr with that whole side of the store.
How much will you spend? I suppose that will depend on your appetite for shoes and your credit limit :) Leave a Comment Theme: Shoes

This is a great kitchen store that has a wide variety of culinary utensils and appliances. You can find some unique gadgets that you might not be able to find at a regular department store. The products are also very high in quality. Another plus is the store offers cooking classes specializing in "low country" cuisine. How cool is that?

My wife and I thought the store was beautiful and well laid out. What we found really great was it was one of the few stores we've ever come across that concentrates on Handbags from around the world. The sale staff (Jenny in particular) seemed to know about evey handbag, where it's made. The buyers have done an outstanding job in not only the luxury brands of handbags but also the small manufactuers from all over the world. They have these really unique cocconut and zipper handbags ($70) that I wish we had bought one. Very unique store. Should have a place in NYC. Third time we've been there.
This time the Eric Javit collection had just come in that day so she bought two. A nice touch is they discounted the second bag 25% without asking. I bought a beautiful snakeskin handbag for our daughter.
What was really great about this store is their price range. You'd expect everything to be expensive by the look of the store but they've got Theme: Women's ClothesAddress: 160 East Bay StreetDirections: Right down the street from Rainbow Row
