How I Found Read Between The Lines (And Why I Still Love Them)

I first discovered Read Between The Lines years ago when they were located in Victory Park, and it was love at first browse. You know the feeling when you walk into a store and instantly want to buy everything? That was me. Cards that actually made me laugh out loud, home decor that felt curated and not mass-produced, and candles I definitely did not need but bought anyway.

They eventually moved locations, so I do not visit as often as I should. That said, let me be very clear: They are still an absolute gem.
