The Mermaid's Mercantile 07/08/10


Our holiday in San Diego was wonderful! We spent most of our time with family at the beach house in PB (Pacific Beach).



The kids got plenty of Boogie-boarding time even though the last few days of vacation were wrought with "June Gloom."

But I wanted to tell you about one of the highlights of my trip: "Sister's Day Out!"



I made my invitations and sent them out before I even got to San Diego. I didn't want anyone to miss out on the fun!




Our first stop was "Out of the Blue" in Solana Beach. Owner Debi Beard hosts a gorgeous outdoor shopping venue called "The Mermaid's Mercantile." There were so many talented women showing their beautiful wares,.

Here are just a few photos of the day:












This bed was SPECTACULAR! The headboard and footboard were encrusted with polished seashells.



Here is a closer view of the footboard.




Debi is the sweetest, talented girl!!! Visiting her shop is like stepping into a fairyland! 


She makes beautiful shell covered works of art done with a meticulous hand.



My sisters Rosemary and Raymie and I had a wonderful day, along with our good friend Judy. (My vintage beach hat is courtesy of my sister, from her vintage collection!)
