A little travel log - Cedros Design District - Solana Beach, CA



We got out and did some shopping just up the coast the other day. If you are in the San Diego area then you have got to check out Solana Beach. It is a sleeply little beach village between Encinitas and Del Mar. If you are going by train - it has it's own stop right there across the street from the Cedros Design District. THE place to shop for all things Cool!


One of my favorite places is SoLo, a very nice warehouse with lost of sophisitcated merchants selling everything from vintage religious iconic stuff to mid-century modern pieces and sprinkled with asian antiques and topped with hip childrens goodies. Pictured above is a sweet little bowl of ceramic blue birds - a total must have!


Religious iconic goodness - I would like to get more of that going at Soul of the Rose.


Mixture of vintage silver, asian statuary and bits of whatever!



We always stop at Bon Bon too. These pictures don't do it justice. Imagine Shabby Chic meets a "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane".



They manage to take a sometimes too sweet decor and set it just on it's edge where you think "That's a little spooky"






We finished up with a great lunch out and then went home for a nap....
