A New Year's Wish

We hope that everyone's New Year brings much joy and happiness! As I reflect over this past year, looking at photos from our first opening in 09', it's hard to believe how far we have come in 3 years. We've made many new friends and appreciate each and every one of you! Opening a second location this past August with it's own little niche was probably one of the most memorable events for The Attic Girls!

The New Year will bring even more changes,
and we look forward to bringing
you an even better 2012!

Our last window for 2011 - Tinsel Town!
A vintage sequined sweater takes center stage.
Simply stunning and quickly snapped up for New Year's eve.

Lighted tinsel skirt ..another bright idea by Jenna ;o)

The Clock Is Ticking

You have the perfect dress for New Years Eve,

and we have the perfect adornments.

Stop by to see what arrived just in time for the big night!

Above necklace - back in stock! $32

Letterpress Printer's Block

Just in - a batch of old print letterpress wood type. Priced individually so you can spell a word, buy a vowel, or just display your initial! Priced from $12 to $39, depending on the size. We have some that are 8" tall!

It had to be done! Keeping these for the shop.

We have an awesome book available as well!

Our Favorite Ornaments

are not the cookie cutter ones found at the big box..they are the ones from Christmas past. Here's a peek at some favorites in the shop now. The beautifully painted, unusually shaped, the ones you remember on your childhood tree. We have been saving them for awhile now, and they are available in sets and singles.
Pink! Always a favorite and paired with silver and aqua makes it even better.
These bright orange and yellow striped ornaments are great and I've not seen this combination before!
These clear ornaments are so unique. Hand painted in assorted shapes..very cool!
These are special ones with Christmas messages. The purple one is a first for me...never seen one until this year. Must be a rarity. These ornaments are just a tiny sampling of our offerings! Stop by both locations to see them all.

A Favorite Destination

We love these vintage map pendants!

A beautiful old map of the San Diego, California area, circa 1954.

We have San Diego, San Francisco, New York, Paris and London. Looking for another city? Just leave a comment and we'll let you know if we can get it for you. The perfect keepsake of your hometown, a special vacation or future destination! Pendant measures 1" across and comes with 22" chain. $22.95 (Available in store only) Thank you!

Beginning This Saturday...

American Express is launching Small Business Saturday beginning November 26th. Please support that quaint little independent shop in your hometown. Visit your local bookstore, bakery, coffee house or boutique. Shop small...it will make a HUGE difference!

For Teacher..and Baby

Repurposed vintage spoons...flattened with a special message. These will make great little gifts this Christmas..especially when paired with a cute little plant or tree.

We have 4 different messages to choose from, for Teacher or a Friend.

For Baby's 1st Christmas - this adorable little spoon ornament.

Black Thursday?

Let the madness begin...on Thanksgiving night?!! Personally, I wouldn't brave the crowds if they were giving away something I wanted! Now that it's creeping into Thanksgiving night, it's even more ludicrous.
We know it's difficult to escape the repeat broadcasts and direct mail advertising from the chain stores, but please - remember to take time to support your favorite local independent retail shops this season. They have much to offer in the way of unique gifts and personal service. Thank you to all of our customers for a fabulous year..we are so thankful for each and every one of you! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day everyone!

Closed - Thanksgiving Day
Friday - 10am-6:30 pm ( Orange Ave)
Saturday- 10am-6:30 pm ( Orange Ave)

A Few Of Our Favorite Things

This vintage inspired New York subway wall hanging has such a great look. It's made of fabric that's printed with New York subway stops. It's attached to wooden dowels, with a jute cord for hanging. Fantastic for home or restaurant decor! Measures 19" wide and 60" long.


Metal clip hangers to hold photos or notes..or display some cute vintage hankies, apron or a favorite linen.


Ruffled scarves..these are quickly disappearing. Our most popular scarf in the shop right now!

Baby, It's Cold Outside

Our shop window for 2011

An antique wicker buggy and an old child's sled take the stage. The little antique mohair dog was a last minute addition that gave us a much needed laugh after a long night decorating. :)
The doggie in the window isn't available anymore..he's going to be under someone's tree!


Our little tree is filled with homemade hand knit covered ornaments in 3 styles, and mittens.

I'll be sharing more as we progress with our holiday decorating...
