Beads By The Bay
When I bought the Best Little Bead store in 2006 and renamed it for the old and much loved Beads by the Bay it was my first venture into the world of owning a retail business. 7 1/2 years later, it has anchored itself (and me!) firmly in the community of Morro Bay. The world literally has come to my doorstep, providing beautiful beads from around the globe. Helen has created a wonderful garden shop with tillandsias, succulents, herbs, and other unique plants. We have also found talented West Coast artists and sell handmade gifts for house and garden. If you are a beader, we have all the supplies you need. We also teach classes, do repairs, and commissions. And we have the prettiest plants around! Come say hello and discover Beads by the Bay and the Garden in historic Old Town Morro Bay! 333 Morro Bay Blvd, Morro Bay, (805) 772-3338.

Studio Salon…
“Executive Nails” Mani/Pedi for Him
The secrets out! Guys, if you’ve thought about getting those hangnails taken care of and the callouses off your feet but were reluctant in the past, those days are over. Julie has an extensive male clientele and has been specializing in manicures and pedicures right here in Arroyo Grande for the past 35 years, since 1980!

Recently, Julie has made the smart switch over to disposable pedicure liners. A new plastic liner is used for every client so there is no chance of hidden bacteria lurking in your whirlpool bath like in typical Pedi-Spa chairs.

Here’s what a few of Julie’s male clients had to say about her services:

“Once I thought pedicures were only for women. Julie proved me wrong. She cured an ingrown nail that plagued me for four years. No more pain. My walks with the dog are pure joy now.”
Bob Mack, retired City Manager, Arroyo Grande

“I was reluctant to go to a salon that had mostly women customers. However, Julie made me feel very comfortable during the manicure and pedicure process. She does excellent work and is a professional at what she does…”
Steve Mintz, Cal Poly Professor

805-441-1964, call or text! Executive Nails, Mani/Pedi for Him, Located at The Beauty Studio: 1248 East Grand Ave. Suite E, Arroyo Grande, CA 93420

The Sewing Café
THE SEWING CAFÉ concept evolved from Ellen Hudachek reading about such concept stores such as this in Europe. A gathering place for creativity.
It is a gathering place for those seeking to expand or share creativity in sewing and cooking. The Sewing Cafe has been amazingly well received by the community and even draws a large amount of regular coastal visitors to visit, take cooking or sewing classes and purchase their sewing machines locally.
THE SEWING CAFÉ is a small sister store of SANTA MARIA SEWING SUPERSTORE (created in 1967).  Both stores offer the “unheard of privilege” that upon purchasing a sewing machine, quilting machine or serger you  are entitled to “lifetime Master Your Machine” classes meaning you are free to repeat the mastery classes as many times as you need to do so.  Warranty service and repair by factory trained technicians is also offered.   You will never find this type of Sales, Service, Education and Fun with purchases from the “box” stores or the internet.
Machine embroidery, children’s classes, quilting classes, project classes and cooking classes are all offered. All cooking classes are interactive “hands on” demonstrations, take home samples and recipes and enjoy wine pairing for the cuisine style you are learning.  The kitchen is also available for private parties.
Visit: Facebook.com/SewingCafeOfCA, or Just call them @ 805.295.6585.
