Last week, we headed over the Golden Gate Bridge on a short vacation. Spent 3 nights in the Somona wine country town of Healdsburg. Wandering around in 70 degree sunshine, I found lots of interesting shops (and wine tasting rooms) that give me inspiration.
A little vintage store called Me 2 U Vintage had just opened the week before. It was tucked into the side of a building on the main street. Isn't this a great check-out desk?
And there were lots of clever little displays. I should have taken a picture of her entryway with handmade flags. And the bicycle out in front. Here are a few shots from Me 2 You:
The daffodils were blooming (for real!) in the park. That gave me hope that Spring might just come to Michigan in the next 6 weeks or so.
Uniquely Chic Floral & Home is a florist shop that pays amazing attention to details. Even their tags are special. Handstamped 3 layer tags with deckled edges on every item in the store - as a shop owner, I can only imagine how much time that takes!
Live flowering plants were tucked in with vintage and new home goods. It seemed like a spring garden. It did my winter weary soul good.
I bought a wonderful apron (with one of their special tags), but also got LOTS of inspiration absolutely free. Now I can start thinking about Spring displays for FOUND!
