Pal O’Mine

Have I mentioned our artist-in-residence, my collaborator, partner in crime, BFF and designer beyond extraordinaire ~ Karen Lampard of Café Paperie, lately?
She’s been bringing in the most fascinating, handcrafted, works of art ~ that never to cease to amaze ~ for almost two decades now.
Not to mention ~ All the fabulous themed events at the shop for the last 15 years have begun and ended with her.
She is a designer, artist, craftsman, seamstress, creator and master of all trades
and on top of that ~ she has the most humble heart and soul on earth.
Her creations, both grand and petite, have to be seen to be believed.
Months before each shop event, we meet, talk, laugh, strategize ~ and then see where our thoughts and dreams will take us. The fun is always in the banter ~
and where it goes from there.
When planning these events ~ we never know when we’ll strike it hot but,
somehow, we always do ~
Usually it’s something she says that triggers the whole theme.
Then I ask, “Can you make a thousand of those?”
She laughs nervously…
What would I do without her?

Welcome Furniture Queen!

So happy to feature this super star in the front window ~
Robin of @Furniture Queen has just come on board
and we love the vintage coastal style she has opened with.
Her beautiful mix ranges from industrial, rustic, seaside and boho
to natural elements, fun vintage accessories, hand sewn 
pillows and pops of ocean blue.
You’ll recognize this hard-working gal from all the shows she and
her husband Steve star in, ie: Junk in the Trunk, Three Speckled Hens,
The Coast, Long Beach Market, San Diego Vintage Sip n’ Shop 
and more!
Come on by and take in her fabulous seaside wares ~
You’ll love what you see.
