Deirdre Reilly: What's this ‘Crate and Barrel' I keep hearing about?

It might not be the most convenient time, what with the holidays upon us and all, but I have recently discovered a little store by the name of Crate and Barrel. Normally, I am a Target gal; I'm not comfortable if I'm not shopping in a store that sells both lingerie and yard rakes, greeting cards and motor oil. I am very loyal to Target. I don't cheat or do any shopping on the side; I don't read anyone else's fliers and circulars. I like one-stop shopping. Or so I thought, until sassy Crate and Barrel came along.
