The finest things from the shops of this charmed city... by Kate Chadwick
Bird House From Bird House Of Cape May
Pillow From Bird House Of Cape May
Tote Bag From Donna’s Hallmark
Even our feathered friends need a port in the storm. Let this lovely lighthouse from our buddies at the Bird House of Cape May serve as a haven in your yard – or an accent in your house! Two sizes – the larger one, pictured, is about 24” tall and sells for $70, the smaller one is around 18,” and is $50. 109 Sunset Boulevard, Suite A, 609-898-8871, www.birdhouseofcapemay.com.
You say this tapestry pillow reminds you of a painting? There’s a reason for that! It’s based on a painting by C. Barry Hills, prints of which are also available at the Bird House. The pillow is $32, a small framed print is $50, and a large is $85. Or, get a small unframed one for $25. 109 Sunset Boulevard, Suite A, 609-898-8871, www.birdhouseofcapemay.com.
Who doesn’t need a tote bag when spending time at the shore, we ask you? This sturdy canvas one from Donna’s fits the bill – toss anything in and off you go. Plus it has a beautiful and colorful design that will always remind you of Cape May, no matter how far you should wander. And it’s yours for a mere $18.95! 401 Washington Street, 609884-0555.
Lighthouse Bingo From Whale’s Tale
Spot of Tea From Tea By The Sea
EZ Original Logo Apparel From Exit Zero
The ultimate seashore rainy-day activity is yours, brought to you by our friends at Whale’s Tale in the form of Lighthouse Bingo by Lucy Hammett Games. It’s easy and fun, and how else can you keep 4-6 people occupied at the bargain-basement price of $16? Don’t answer that. 312 Washington Street, 609-884-4808, www.whalestalecapemay.com.
How about a spot of lighthouse tea from Metropolitan Tea Company? You can pour it out of your china lighthouse teapot while you sit back and admire your lighthouse salt and pepper shakers, all courtesy of our friends at Tea By The Sea. The tea sells for $6.95, the pot goes for $29.95, and the shakers are $9.95. 405 West Perry, 609-898-4832, www. teaincapemay.com
There is no “I” in lighthouse. Wait a minute, yes there is. What we really mean to say is there is a “lighthouse” where the “I” should be in our Exit Zero original logo tees, sweatshirts and hoodies, polo shirts and baseball caps. Lighthouse art, too! Pop in to our Store, Gallery and Global Headquarters and get your EZ on. 109 Sunset Boulevard, Suite D, 609770-8479. www.exitzero.us.
