i found it, i found it!! the business i was thinking of it bromberg's & co., which is located in mountain brook. the phone # is 205-871-3276 and their website is brombergs.com. traditional, old fashioned jewelry/gift store like i grew up knowing.

another shop that you might look into is christine's. they often supply southern living magazine with linens, crystal, china, serving pieces, etc. for their photo shoots. their phone # is 205-871-8297.

in addition, there is a store called smith's variety which has locations in mountain brook and homewood(both suburbs of b-ham) that i love. carnation mentioned it in another thread-the rush handbook thread. anyway, smith's defies description, but is a store i could spend days in. an eclectic mix of inexpensive and fine items-they have some lovely embroidered linens-often with a monogram-that would make a lovely wedding gift.

there also is a bakery called edgar's in hoover that has lovely gift items(and some of the best baked goods in town).

i did not check to see if smith's or christine's have websites.
