Encinitas Gift Shops - New Inventory from Bali Arrives at Queen Eileen's in Encinitas CA 92024

There is always something going on at Queen Eileen's, Encinitas's BEST gift shop in the heart of downtown Encinitas on the Coast Road. 

Yesterday it was the new arrival of a shipment of 8000+ jewelry items from Bali, just off the plane and through customs. I caught Queenie herself unpacking and getting bracelets, rings, earrings and necklaces ready for sale last night in time for a networking group that was due to come by.  Check out this inventory!!

 

 

The Bali jewelry at Queen Eileen's is wildly popular and a great value, at least to my untrained eye - the Bali jewelry is usually priced at $5 with discounts for multiple purchases. I guess with 8000+ items just in this shipment you gotta find something you love, or would love to give to someone.

Encinitas Orchids - Living Orchid Arrangements in Encinitas CA 92024

Don Doerfler is a master at creating living orchid arrangements. I know, because I met him the other day and saw for myself. His business, Encinitas Orchids, is based at his home in Encinitas, and a visit to his showroom is a visual treat.

Not only are the orchids spectacular, but the vessels used to create the living orchid arrangements (e.g., antique Chinese wood boxes, ceramics) add to their beauty.

And Don's talent for creative use of color and visual imagery as an artist is immediately obvious in the stunning living orchid arrangements he creates. 

The orchids will generally last for months, but you can have a perpetual arrangement and be a perpetual customer - bring the arrangement back and Don will replace the orchids (the new orchids may be different) for a modest cost so you can continue to enjoy your orchids.

I learned quite a few things meeting with Don. For example, orchids are the oldest plant, and there are thousands of varieties - indeed they are the most diverse family of plants known. They live in just about every environment save for deserts and the Antartic/Artic. 

Read more about growing orchids and the American Orchid Society. 

In addition to the Encinitas Orchids showroom where you can view the arrangements Don has for sale, you will find Encinitas Orchids' living orchid arrangements at the Leucadia Farmers' Market (Sundays from 10 - 2), the Mercado in Little Italy (Saturdays from 9 - 1:30) and the Point Loma Liberty Station (Sundays from 9:30 until 2:30). 

You can follow Encinitas Orchids on the Encinitas Orchids Blog. 

Or become a fan on the Encinitas Orchids Facebook page.

Get WOWED at the Fountain of Youth Juice Bar in Encinitas- Owner Abdul Shares His Thoughts (VIDEO)

Encinitas Juice Bar Fountain of Youth Juice WOWs Customers

The best Encinitas juice bar, from what I've been told by lots of folks, is Fountain of Youth Juice on El Camino Real near Encinitas Boulevard. I know a number of folks who stop in religiously for various fresh fruit and organic vegetable juices, their famous 3-day cleanse, the very popular WOW juice combination, or to grab one of their terrific sandwiches.

You can read more about Fountain of Youth Juice here. And visit their Facebook page. 

I had the opportunity to talk with owner Abdul a couple of days ago (he and his wife, Tania run the show with only a couple of employees) and thought I would share his thoughts about why Fountain of Youth Juice is so popular and what makes it special. 

It's all about family and being healthy. Find out why and how from Abdul himself.
