A Guide to the Best of Southern California : BROWSING : Global Shopping
Alice in Wonderland would feel right at home in the storefront window of the Craft & Folk Art Museum Shop, with its foot-tall, boldly painted, polka-dotted teapots ($80 to $500). These whimsical plywood cutouts are definite attention-getters for the mid-Wilshire shop temporarily operating at the corner of Curson Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard until the new museum is completed in 1992. This wonderland of folk art and crafts--Persian rugs, Indian tunics, Santa Fe bowls, Swedish hand-painted wooden animals--is a veritable supermarket for global shopping.
Craft & Folk Art Museum Shop, 5800 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles; (213) 937-9099.
