When I hear the word boutique, several things happen in my head. They happen so fast that I’m not even sure of their order, but nevertheless, here they are!
I think <“OOO, fancy!”
I lament, “No, not in my budget, which barely meets necessities, much less high-end (Read: high dollar) desires!”
And I remember a time before the time before I knew what money was, before I realized my so-called situation in life, a time when I just thought of a boutique as somewhere it would be super cool to visit–and maybe they would even have tea and cakes!
I’m a realist, but I also believe in keeping childhood dreams alive!

For Denise’s “boutique” prompt at

The title of your Six accessorizes your Six Sentences beautifully 🙂
“I remember a time before the time before I knew what money was…”
What an excellent and pleasingly rhythmic line!
Good Six
Having tea and cakes seems like a good reason to go to a boutique especially with someone.
Well done. Love the title
I love this
Love that last line!
Having tea and cakes in the boutique sounds fun!
A sweet boutique!
Love your six. A wonderful boutique + tea and cakes, yum! There are some boutique bookshops here where you can sit and read and have tea and cake. And I remember an indie cinema in the UK when I lived there and you could watch old movies with a slice of cake and tea.
Agree with Clark about the line: “I remember a time before the time before I knew what money was…” could be a lyric from a hit song that.
It is a charged word, boutique. It is a turn off for me as it implies as you say, fancy and pricey.
