If cute, kawaii and kitsch is your thing, you’ll fall instantly in love with On Cherry Lane. The brainchild of Rebecca and David Nia, this delightful haven of all things pretty is chock full of indie surprises and unusual Japanese imports. Quirky plushies rub shoulders with bunny earrings and peapod necklaces jostle with cupcake keychains.

Think lovebird wristlets, ice cream tunics and mushroom stamp sets. I really can’t say enough about this site. Go there immediately and prepare to be charmed!

They describe their look as ‘modern organic reflecting Northern California’s grace and beauty’.

Mahar Drygoods is a real gem of a site for Friday afternoon surfing. It’s stocked full of vintage and artisan crafted goods for kids. Owner Robert Mahar collaborates with more than two dozen indie designers, artists and craftspeople, many of whom create items exclusively for his shop.

The site has a lovely nostalgic feel to it which I think will appeal to everyone’s ‘inner child’. Each product has been carefully selected and there is a good selection to choose from including clothing, accessories, toys, gifts and music.

Surf and shop at www.mahardrygoods.com. I’m going back for another look.
