One of the more peculiar and unique boutiques of the city happens to be nestled in a blue roofed shopping center in Albuquerque's uptown. You may not realize from its humble exterior, that inside No Longer Wander exists a treasure trove of objects that would tickle awake the consumer in even the most spend thrifty customer.
The first thing that strikes you upon entering No Longer Wander is the sheer amount of greenery. One of the goods the store specializes in is houseplants. All of the plants are arranged beautifully, making you believe a cactus is exactly what you need to pull your living room together.
It's hard to truly categorize this store. Some may describe it as very personal, almost like someone's daydream. The goods are very specific: child-sized handmade leather belts, wooden jewelry, incense with the smell of the desert, one style of a single brand of pants in various sizes, and a few single pieces of vintage clothing. The objects are strange in their array, seemingly arbitrary, but despite the small selection, each is distinct or gorgeous enough that everyone who walks through the verdant paradise will find something that tickles their fancy.
The best part about this store? It's attached to the wonderful coffee shop Little Bear Coffee, so you can peruse the hand crafted things of wonder and natural things of beauty while you wait for your coffee order.
