When I was a young Hippie (50 years ago) Pier 1 was the cool place to shop for incense, Batik material, stash boxes, cookware, nick-nacks and exotic foods. Then they decided to go to a high priced furniture, and housewares market. The last time I visited them was over a decade ago, and couldn't find anything i liked that I could justify the cost of buying.
Cost Plus World Market now fills the niche that was once filled by Pier 1 in my shopping world.
