Live Unusually

On this rainy day in early October, I am drawn to an interesting looking old building in historic downtown Ellicott City, Maryland. Outside of the store on the sidewalk is a small tent sign offering simple but solid advice…live unusually.

I wander inside this specialty shop to find an eclectic mix of merchandise and a beautiful second floor loft housing a well thought out collection of interesting books and magazines. The appropriately named, Unusual Company, offers a unique shopping environment that is bound to inspire a sense of whimsy in it’s customers.

Several items caught my eye during my short visit, so I snapped a few photos and a quick video to give you a small taste of the shops offerings…which includes gelato. Yes, that’s right. Gelato. And books. If this concept of living unusually sounds appealing, you may want to plan a visit to this unique place to discover your next book to read.
