I wanted to share an adorable little shop that my precious friend Cynthia (she doesn't have a blog but, she
NEEDS one) took me to after picking me up at the airport for my recent trip out to California. I landed at about noon & Cynthia cruised through the airport in her darling little BMW to scoop Cathy (my roommate for Les
Sirenes Art Event) & I up to start our amazing days of fun. Cynthia, Cathy & I met in the spring when we all attended Petticoats & Parasols Art Event in Savannah Georgia. If you missed the posts for that & the previous ones of Les
Sirenes just click on the bottom of my sidebar & look for the category ART EVENTS & there you will find out all about the WONDER of these AMAZING EVENTS! They are so much fun... but, now lets go shop.
Paris to the Moon is TINY but, packed with so much EYE CANDY! The shop is located at 172- Santa Ana AVE. in Costa Mesa, California 92627.
This is the adorable moon that sits HIGH a top an
amoire filled with MANY goodies.
Here you can see another shot of the moon/
armoire & some of the treasures. Click on the photo to enlarge it to see the details better.
Here is Cathy (left) Cynthia & me (of course in the back since I'm so blasted tall) visiting with the owner of the stores sister. She works at the store as well as does a lot of the design work & teaching some classes. Her name is Daniele
Montecinos but, you might know her best as one of the designers of MANY of the crowns in the popular book Crown's & Tiaras. I almost got a copy of this from my book sharing buddy
Lisa one night but, someone else in the Art Group scooped it up before I could get to it.
Here's the photo shoot picture of Daniele for the book.
The shop had a darling bridal display that had such wonderful detail work in the items. I'm not sure but, I think this is part of
Goldburg Studio's line. Again, click to enlarge the photos to check out the detail work on these goodies!
Love the crown with the pearls, birds & bridal couple.
And since I was in town for a MERMAID themed event, I couldn't pass up this adorable display.
Another shell covered crown.
And these adorable little Princess Horse & Carriage sprinkled with LOTS of fine GLITTER making them every more magical!
Hope you enjoyed the tour & if you are in the area POP IN! Thank you Cynthia for starting off our shopping in such a great little gem.
Looks like a lot of fun! I want that book now too!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh what a fun store- you bet I doubled clicked on all your pictures to catch all the details.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely make a stop there since I'm only a hop skip and a jump away....I'm excited!

Hi Charlene!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun you ladies had! TY for sharing such a fun place. I love it that you are tall as we got to see your beautiful smile! :)
Thank you for stopping by my blog to leave a comment regarding my finds at the Candlestick Flea MArket. I would love to take you if you ever come to SF. This Flea MArket is usually the 3rd Sunday of the month. Of course, we also have the Alameda Flea Market, which is the 1st Sunday of the Month and is even larger (at least 500 vendors)!
Oops! I didn't mean to be so chatty! :)
Take care,
Debby
Ooooh! I need to find that sweet shop next time I'm down there! Love everything I saw--thanks for sharing the photos, Charlene!
