Little Loves Closet in Capitola, CA

Little Loves Closet at 110 Stockton Avenue, Capitola, CA 95010

It was Super Bowl Sunday, and we were supposed to go to a Super Bowl party, but the weather was gorgeous, sunny and warm (especially for February)…who’d want to stay indoors? Since my husband isn’t a big baseball fan (yeah, I know, it’s football…that was a joke!), we decided to hit the beach. I love the quaint little town of Capitola in Santa Cruz, because not only am I a few feet from the ocean, but I can also shop! Capitola Village has the cutest children’s apparel store called Little Loves Closet (previously known as European Children’s Clothing). They have been in business for 10 years, and still going strong! I usually stop by there to pick something up for Miranda. I just love that store!

Little Loves Closet is located at 110 Stockton Avenue in the Merchantile Shopping Center. This charming sidewalk store carries the most fashionable children’s apparel at reasonable prices. And they always have a sale going on! They have a wide array of baby and children’s clothes (up to size 12) and a nice selection of le•top brand clothes for boys and girls (sizes 0 – 6x). Since they’re near the beach, they carry le•top bathing suits all year round! They also sell shoes and boots, rain coats, costumes, pajamas, and other accessories.

If you ever get a chance to visit Capitola, be sure to stop by Little Loves Closet. Or you can also visit them at littlelovescloset.com and shop online. They offer gift certificates, gift wrapping, and also have a calendar of events of what’s happening in Capitola.

A Baby Shower for the Little Munchkin

A couple of weekends ago, my mom and sisters-in-law threw a baby shower for me. They decided on “The Wizard of Oz” theme because my daughter dressed up as Dorothy last Halloween—and she requested that Daddy and Mommy be dressed up as well. A family photo was taken of the three of us in full costume, so it was conveniently appropriate that we welcome our little munchkin the way “big sister” would want it.

Everything was decorated perfectly to match the theme. The invitations were worded with Bottles and diapers and bibs… Oh my! The shower was held at The Emerald City (or my mom’s house). And when I arrived at “The Emerald City,” all I had to do was follow the yellow brick road to the dining room where everything was decorated with blue gingham tablecloths, wicker baskets, ruby red slippers, lollipops, and homemade rainbow cupcakes! It was a wonderful sight to behold! Even the sign-in guest sheets were scrapbook pages in “The Wizard of Oz” theme.
