I swear you could wander Ipanema every day for a year and still find little hidden gems you hadn't noticed before. There are endless Galleria's which are basically malls, and sidestreets of stores.
Last week, after some lunch with friends, we went to Luiz Salvador (R. Redentor & Maria Quitera in Ipanema). I'd heard of the factory near Petropolis, but did not know there was a location in the city.
Being that I did not "send a shipment" down to Brazil like most expats, it honestly made me homesick! I got married just 6 months before moving to Brazil, and didn't even get much of a chance to use all my pretty plates and stuff (I love to cook and entertain so the idea of using it all does make me excited).
I took a ton of photos of the store... and could have taken more. I highly recommend stopping in if you are in RIo!

I loved these little crab plate/containers.
They also had beautiful Easter displays.
There is so much beautiful stuff to choose from... I will definitely have to take a few pieces home to add to my collection!
It looks beautiful!!! I am so glad I am sending some things down! I hate to go through our storage and not be able to take EVERYTHING! But such is life! I will definitely tuck this away for use one day! :) Thanks!
