Coastal Real Estate and Lifestyles

Whether you enjoy Half Moon Bay’s Pumpkin Festival or make a point of staying away for the town’s annual showcase event, here are a few vendors we visited that you can enjoy without ever stepping foot onto high-energy Main Street during 2 full days of music, food, shopping, haunted house, and basically PUMPKIN everything.

Via Ripatti - www.viaripatti.com - I buy a shirt for my husband here every year.  The artist, Steve Ripatti draws a new design every year and I always look forward to his inspirations.  The clothing is wrinkle resistant, doesn’t fade, and is very comfortable.  The husband and wife team also create beautiful wraps and other pieces for women.

Ladybug Design - www.lady-bug-design.com - nothing to do with ladybugs…this is custom made jewelry from wood.  It’s light-weight, original, and stunning.  This is a regular stop for my daughter and me.  She had many pieces that are not on the website.

Goldenspirits  Candle Works - a new vendor this year from Paradise, CA - I was impressed.  It takes a lot for me to get impressed with candles, consequently I usually don’t buy them.  I bought 4 in various scents and designs.  The early favorite, she predicted, is Citrus Cranberry.  1.530.872.2082

Nzalamba Artworks - www.nzalamba-artworks.com - The website doesn’t do justice to his work.  Paul shared the stories behind the prints he showed us - “Not to Worry”, “At Play”, “Love”, and “The Drums”, which the website does not give you.  When you buy a print, you will receive the story, he told us.

Photography by Pame - pixelpame.com - She had some great photos of Pillar Point Harbor and other local scenes, not showcased on the website.
