See’s Candies is opening at 9:30am today according to a sign in the window at the Lafayette Plaza Center near Whole Foods. According to a See’s employee in the Walnut Creek location this is not replacing the Broadway Plaza location which eventually will close along with other Broadway Plaza stores. The Walnut Creek See’s location plans on relocating somewhere in downtown Walnut Creek.
Check out the inside of the Lafayette store:
See’s Candies is located at 3518 Mt. Diablo Blvd in the Lafayette Plaza Center, a few stores down from Whole Foods.
Artists Market:
Lafayette Art Gallery
50 Lafayette Cir, Lafayette
Saturday, June 15th, 2013
11:00am – 5:00pm | FreeIf you missed Mother’s Day, it isn’t too late to make up with a lovely gift amongst the jewelry, ceramics and other art works in the gallery. And, don’t forget Dad this month. Just the right gift might be waiting in the gallery or at our second Artists Market on Saturday June 15, 11 am – 5 pm in the picnic area and gallery parking lot. Again, there will be 12-14 artists from the gallery and the community.
And, while you are checking out the gallery or the market, don’t forget to take a tour of our recently reopened Sculpture Garden.
A little over a year ago Handlebar Toys closed in the Lafayette Shopping Center and now the vitamin store GNC will be opening up in its place.
This fire pit was featured with one of the kitchens in the Lafayette Juniors Kitchen Tour last month. Look closely and you can see actual horseshoes inside the fire pit which is rather appropriate considering the house is located right next to a huge horse stable in Burton Valley, Lafayette.
Props to the Lafayette Juniors who ended up raising over $50,000 for various non-profit organizations including $25,000 for New Day for Children, which, “rescues and provides for the needs of American girls ages 10 to 18 suffering from the desperation of human trafficking”.
If you would like to see your kitchen or remodel featured email me a photo at btcreek(at)beyondthecreek(dot)com with location and details and I’ll be in touch.
Rossi’s Tennis & Running shop recently moved from their Oak Hill location to Mt. Diablo Blvd. right behind Boswell’s Party Supplies in the parking lot where the Caffino stand is located in downtown Lafayette. Apparently Rossi’s is known for their tennis stringing operation.
A Day in the Life of Lafayette:
Lafayette
Friday, June 21st, 2013
12:01am – 11:59pm | FreeA Day in the Life of Lafayette aims to create a crowdsourced snapshot of our community on that particular day. All are invited to participate, from 5 years old to 105 years old! This is your opportunity to think outside the lens.
Here’s how it works:
On Friday, June 21 – the Summer Solstice, the longest day of year –take pictures in Lafayette anytime between 12:01 am and 11:59 pm. Choose a photo, including the time and location it was taken, and submit it to the City of Lafayette Offices between July 12thand July 30th (by 5 pm). The Lafayette Public Art Committee will review the entries and select the winning photographs to be displayed at the Library Gallery at the Community Hall and on the City’s website from September through November. A reception will be held at the gallery in late September to recognize the finalists.
In order to make room for extra parking for the new restaurant The Cooperage in downtown Lafayette, the building where Twigs Floral & Art called home for over 25 years will be demolished soon. Twigs will still be open for phone and online orders so check out their website for more info here.
Last month I noted that the home decor shop Queen Bee would be closing in Lafayette and according to Diablo Style a new boutique called J. Colleen will be offering “upscale vintage clothing, original artwork” and jewelry beginning September 1st at this location.
Spotted at Lafayette Auto Body on Mt. Diablo Blvd, this is an old Richfield gas pump with a custom paint job. They even have a Blue Chip Stamp sign on the side. Does anyone remember those?
