Shopping

I was walking by the toy store 5 Little Monkeys in downtown Walnut Creek over the weekend when I spotted this tree surfing swing. Based in Charleston, South Carolina, the Swurfer is on a nationwide tour this summer. I tried the surfing swing and had a blast! If only I had a tree that could handle this. I know one nearby tree that would work well for the Swurfer. Check out their website here.

Back in March we learned that a salon would be opening a few stores down from the soon-to-open organic fabric shop Monaluna and indeed, Infinity Salon is moving from their Lafayette location to this downtown Walnut Creek spot. According to the owner, this may possibly the first, “solar panel powered hair salon” in all of California. Look for an early June opening.

Walking by Cypress St. in downtown Walnut Creek I noticed Wax Parlor has relocated next door, where Like New Jewelry used to be before they moved around the corner on N. Main St. A couple of years ago they relocated on the same street which means they have been in three Cypress St. spots!
