Cherie Amour

This is a sweet little shop near the corner of California and Main. We stopped in because our eyes were caught by some great mermaids and mermen in the window, which was whimsically decorated.
We have family members who are mermaid fanatics and owl fanatics and we try to get ahead for the birthday and Christmas gifts in small unique shops.
I was happy to find a very cute mermaid Christmas ornament and a very kooky mermaid dressed as a bling-​ful shopper, and her name is Miss Spend a Buck.
That was a magnet for the fridge.
We also found mermaid greeting cards which were also available in paintings.
I like that they stock the baby/​toddler clothes by Little Munchkins, clothes for kids which include outfits out of denim with attached themed items, such as flowers or soccer balls. The outfits are reasonably priced too so that my grandchildren may see these under the tree at the holidays. Today I was between paychecks so I did not get them but their onesies and denim outfits are really sweet.
The lady waiting on us today, Betty, is the owner’s daughter, and is she every warm and friendly. I love a shop where you can connect with a welcoming person and feel appreciated that you chose their store over others. Betty is the best.
Ventura has been our choice for a day trip (as we are based in Tujunga) and now we know we can return and aim right for the little shops like Cherie Amour for unique and lovely gift items.
