There is a darling shop in Carmel, California called Forget-Me-Nots. As you walk into Jordan Plaza, you will be greeted with gorgeous potted boxwood topiaries, lavender and these fabulous blue Mop Top Hydrangeas. You can click on any photo to enlarge it.
Come on in ~ the door is open!
Forget-Me-Nots has one of a kind furniture and accessories for the home and garden.
Love this white iron bench, chair and table.
When in Carmel, one must have a chandelier made out of shells!
Handmade linen bolsters, antique wicker and equestrian pictures make for a cozy room.
The shop has an assortment of pillows and sachets that are handmade by a local artist. On the shelf to the left are pretty red English transferware dishes.
Now wouldn't you just love this set? Check out the little pillow on the left with the cherries and little bird Redwork! It almost came home with me....
Lovely and warm antique furniture - love that sideboard and the beautiful blue transferware! Check out that checked chair in the corner!!
Now this is just too pretty to curl up on, but I am in love with the toile fabrics. I can think of many of you blogging friends (Penny and Manuela) who would have loved this as much as me!
A view from the second story.
The little dog is peeking through the lavender! A local artist paints these sweet pictures of dogs - too cute!
Great Toleware chandy!
Beautiful French linens - some monogrammed - make up this inviting bed! Upstairs you will find a vast assortment of the most beautiful antique European linens - anything from Redwork, Battenburg to monogrammed towels, pillowcases and sheets.
Thanks for shopping with me, now let me introduce you to the owner of this amazing shop...
Shirley Jensen. Shirley has had several shops in Carmel over the past 25 years. Forget-Me-Nots was previously on Delores Street for 8 years and then moved to the current location 8 years ago. I asked Shirley to describe her shop and she said, "We have antiques for the home and garden and Classic European and English interior decor with a casual flair."
Forget-Me-Nots is located on
6th and Mission Streets (tucked back into Jordan Plaza)
P.O. Box 7318
Carmel, CA. 93921
Now what beats shopping?

A rest at the beach!
Ta-ta for now!
Note: For those of you who asked, I have decided to keep the antique print for now, however I may decide to part with it. This past week I have been swamped with orders for pennants and have not been able to visit my blog friends like I should be doing. Just know that I wish all of you a wonderful week and think of all of you each day! ((hugs))
Mmm what a shop! What a place...we were there on our honeymoon.

My ex had spent time in Carmel before I met him. He was always bugging me to go. I was afraid to fly. Looks like I really blew that one, huh?

ReplyDeleteYes, we very much know about the outlets in Gilroy. You see both of my brothers still live there and we visit twice a year. In fact, at the end of May my daughters and I will be attending my nephews graduation and believe me we will be shopping at those outlets! Time to stock up on summer things! :)
