I love discovering new boutiques. I am particularly drawn to the ones that have things for the home that are unusual. The shops that I enjoy the most are those that have a little hodge-podge of things....a little of "this and that." When my girlfriend, Lori, was visiting from Houston, we took a drive over to Port Townsend to do some browsing and have lunch together. I noticed that this little shop called, "Seagrass...Coastal Home" had opened since my last trip to Port Townsend. My girlfriend and I decided to explore the shop and had a great time looking at all the treasures in the shop.
My husband and I went into the shop again on our recent Sunday drive to Port Townsend. While there, I noticed these little birds and purchased two for my balcony...
The little birds are attached to a wire so that you can hang them on a hook. We have them on our balcony so the wind came make them soar... They are great for hanging under an eave of the home or even would be pretty hanging in a tree...
You could even hang them inside if you wanted to...
I also bought this small domed glass...
For now, while I am deciding what I want to display, I have a little frog limoge box under the glass. There are larger domes for sale at the shop, too. I would like to go back and get a larger one to place next to the small one. Another reason to go back! :) I would also love to get a couple of the wonderful candles in the shop. I discovered that the owner of the shop makes these wonderfully scented candles. If you would like to find out more information on Seagrass or the items I purchased, I will post the email address for Seagrass at the end of this posting. I hope you have a wonderful day! xoxo Kim

I love the wood floors in that old store..and the little birds! They are so cute, it would be fun to just sit and watch them bob away! ;D

Hello Kim,
I LOVE the birds! The domed glass is so pretty and can be used for so many things...even holiday decor. Isn't it great when we stumble across new boutiques? Those quaint little shops are filled with unique things. There is a shop that I've been wanting to go to in Jess' town, and I think we may go in a couple of weeks. I'll let you know if I buy anything there. Glad you had a good time browsing in this lovely boutique.

I love stores with unique items! The birds would be cute on our balcony, too! Tonight when I went walking just around our building, I saw a wild turkey roosting up in a tree! I was glad I walked with my camera in hand! Enjoy your evening! ♥

One of our FAVOURITE places is Port Townsend. When the kids were young, our great baby sitter would come once a month and Randy and I would drive the Chuckanut Drive to La Conner, have lunch and drive like mad to catch the ferry to our favourite B&B The James House. It's no longer a B&B but someone's home now. Have you been to the THAI rest?? OMG our favourite rest. in PT. Funny, we were just talking about the great get aways we had there.
Thanks for the memories.
BTW. Do you know another blogger lady from Bainbridge Island called Teresa? She's from Alabama. I used to blog with her. She has a cute golden doodle dog called Doogan. You can find her at blooming on bainbridge. I think you'll like her. She's cute like you and fun and adventurous.

Hi lovely lady Claudie,
It is great that you have been to Port Townsend. There are many B & B's located there, and it is wonderful that you were able to stay in one of them. My husband and I enjoy going to B & B's. It is one of our hobbies actually...great way to get away, and they are so much better than hotels....more personal. Thank you sooooooo much, Claudie, for the nice comments. I did know that you live in beautiful Canada...our neighbors and a gorgeous place. I am hoping to explore more of your great area as I can. I have not had the pleasure of meeting Teresa on the blogs. I am actually heading to Bainbridge Island this morning to catch the ferry to Seattle to meet my college son for lunch today. I will have to look up Teresa's blog. You, know, I took a knitting class with a nice gal named Teresa from Alabama about a year ago or so. It was a one day class at a Bainbridge Island shop called...Churchmouse Yarns and Tea. I am wondering if this is the same gal? Hmmm....will have to ask on her blog. You, Claudie, have a beautiful blog. Looks like you enjoy your life which is fun to see and read about. I think this is the beginning of a great blogging friendship. Have a great day there in Canada. xoxo Kim
