Sunsets & New Merchandise!


Sunset in Coronado 1/18

We returned from the LA Gift Show yesterday, to our beautiful city.

There really is no place like home.

We had a great time at the show and we're excited about the new items we have ordered for you! The merchandise won't be arriving for another 4-6 weeks, but we were able to pick up some "cash and carry" items to bring in right away. We have lots of jewelry, just in time for Valentine's Day. We also have some pretty Pashmina shawls in an array of colors, and a few great signs. This one is my favorite, rusty metal letters on a wonderful old piece of painted wood..love it!







I just had to take a photo of the this window display at the Gift Show, and this unusual round settee.


I'll add more photos of our shoppe later this week!
Until then,

A New Year ...a New Look

The Attic Girls are looking forward to the New Year, and will be changing things up a bit! We will be adding a small collection of vintage clothing and also a collection of kitchen goods...a mix of vintage and new. This will all take place sometime later this month, and I will add a few photos to share with you. The L.A. Gift Mart is on our list of places to go this month, and with Cupid lurking around the corner, we are preparing for Valentine's Day! We should be setting up our Valentine's display around mid January, so come in a take a peek!

Our 1st Christmas Open House




Last Friday, we celebrated our 1st Christmas Open House here at The Attic in Coronado. We used a vintage garden trellis with white lights at the entryway. We loved it so much, we decided to keep it up through the holidays! Our display windows got a quick makeover to make room for some new arrivals just days before the Open House. It was a busy day on the island, with a parade, lighting of the tree and the merchants open house until 9pm. We met many new friends that evening, and hope you will visit us again soon! Thank you to everyone who stopped by...especially Katie and Miss Olive, who is always the life of the party. :) I think she deserves a new bed from Santa..what do you say Mom?





It was a full house!

Kandi mingles with the customers :)

A happy customer leaves with his free Hotel Del ornament.

I will be posting more photos soon, so check back to see what's new in the shoppe!
