Once again I waited until the last minute to purchase a gift for a baby shower I was attending. Nothing to go on except that it was going to be a baby girl.
It took me a little bit of searching for the store front. GPS will lead you to believe its right on the corner McConnel and Bryon Ct. However, if you are on Bryon Ct. it's actually closer to the main road crossing than it is to McConnel. Look for the grayish blue business buildings on your left hand side. It's facing the street on the bottom floor. If you've reached the bakery on the corner you went a little too far.
This cute boutique shop is small in size but carries a lot of items that you're not going to typically find in a corporate box store. The items are on the more pricey side, but what your getting in exchange is high quality, green friendly, non traditional baby items as well as personal hygiene care for mom before and after pregnancy.
I decided to go with a really great sash for carrying the baby (on consignment. So it was a awesome discount.) A very soft muslin material milestone blanket, a pacifier holder (really great brand! Doesn't shrink back pacifier on string too harshly), and some mama care items. I could have bought so many wonderful things. Soft diaper liners and covers, a great variety of baby carriers and sashes, baby clothes, food utensils, and bottles. Sweet toys and teethers jewelry for baby. A lot of hygiene care items even if your not pregnant or nursing. I really valued the items they carry.
I left their store feeling really good about the one of a kind items I bought for my dear friend. Afterward I grabbed a bite to eat at the bakery just down the street. They have 3 hour parking next to the waterfront, so the whole experience was so delightful. Plus, the help I got shopping couldn't be beat. Any questions I had were thoroughly answered, and I never felt pressure to buy anything. Afterward, the cashier packaged it up for me with a gift bag in such a pretty presentation. The stress of finding just the right gift melted away.
There isn't a lot of stores here at the waterfront to browse, but I found the whole atmosphere was a very pleasant one. And they do have events going on here all the time. On this particular day the Kitsap Art school was having an end of the year event with music, balloons, food, and face painting. Plus a birthday going on in the park. It made my afternoon to come to a place where there were many families just enjoying the weekend near the Silverdale waterfront. read more
