Surrounded by beautiful buys from 9 to 5, the everyday life of a Philly boutique owner is a practice in self-restraint. In Gimme Gimme, we ask a shopkeep: Which currently-in-stock item are you seriously tempted to buy for yourself?

Audra Fine, owner of Wayne's Deconstructed Living, fills her shop with a revolving selection of vintage-meets-modern home furnishings, but teak bowls ($100+) take the win as her current favorite. The bowls are an easy, no-fuss way to make an impact in your home's decor (side note: they're heavier than they look). Fine recommends using the bowls to plant orchids, and she gives three more suggestions after the jump.
