The Green Pea

When I was visiting with my dad and Leilani, she mentioned that the town of Escalon was nearby. I remembered being in touch with a blogger that had a store there, and asked if we could go visit. Leilani and my dad are always up for a drive (and an adventure) so off we went.
This is The Green Pea, THE most darling store full of vintagey goodness!!
And this is Sandi, the very talented owner of The Green Pea. She was so sweet and kind and gracious..a pleasure to meet and visit with! I also had the pleasure of meeting her wonderful husband, Jim, the muscle behind the creation of The Green Pea..... Here are some more pics of her shop:
She decorated EVERYTHING..see the balcony on top? There are darling vignettes all along the balcony:
Even the 'necessary room' was cute!! ;-)
Whilst I was tootling around the gorgeous shop, her friend, and fellow blogger, Becky from Sweet Cottage Dreams popped in. What a treat to meet her, too! Becky is just darling and has such a sweet spirit about her..I felt so blessed to meet two kindred spirits!
More pics of Sandi's store:
Like I said, she didn't miss any opportunity to decorated even the high ledges..I had to hold my camera over my head to shoot this darling display..

..and this one, too, that was on top of an armoire.

What a joy and a treat for me to meet these two lovely ladies.
Be sure to look up The Green Pea in Escalon if you're traveling through Central California..it is really worth the trip!

  2. Oh what a great shop. I love everything. I spotted some bunny pictues up on the balcony that I have been hunting for. I would love one. There are other great things that I would love too. Thanks for the tour. Hugs, Marty

    You sure did have a wonderful time, Becky is a real doll. What great fun to have run into her at the shop. I live in Modesto not to far from you.
