After a few days of selling at Urban Barn last week I decided I wanted to be a tourist for a day and spend some time down at Solana Beach, one of my favorite places in Cali. So Linda and I packed up for the day and headed out! This time I was going to be the customer and not the vendor, a nice break from it all!
I instantly fell in love with this amazing childs chair, it also has a chaise as well, love!
Debi Beard has this store decked out so cute, it's like a big girls dollhouse! Every corner is filled with vintage treasures, you really have to walked around it several times to see it all.
You know I can't resist a pink phone!
And then outside in the little courtyard areas she has one each side of the shop there is the Mermaid Mercantile that is held once a month, usually around the end of the month. Extra vintage and handmade treasures await you!
One of the best parts of this trip was running into my good friend Marie V. She is one of the nicest people and crazy talented with upholstery work. Take a look...
I know someone who would love this chair...Heidi?? maybe for Grant???
When life gives you lemons....make lemonade, right?
This was a cute little vignette from Valentina...adore her stuff.
You know I wanted this BADLY!!!!!!!
I would have loved to have this in the Bliss Lounge! Amazing old theatre poster.
what's a Vintage Bliss post without a vintage mannequin in it??!!
It was the perfect little outing, I needed it. I had huge disappointment last week, not being able to take my trip to KC, so this was a good distraction. My brain and creativity was refreshed and have new inspirations to attack. We'll see what comes of it. I'll post a calendar this week of upcoming events you will DEFINITELY want to put on your calendar, two initials AU! AAAHHHHH, my favorite.
Blissfully yours, Tricia





















Out of the Blue looks fantastic Tricia! I almost made it down there but as always family comes first. Love the phone, the chair. Thank you for sharing. Ciao Rita
