Hi all - Time to take a break from huge shopping malls chasing after presents and enjoy some of the many pretty winter holiday sites!
This post looks at some of the fun places and decor of MHH Seaside Christmas! Many are perfect for photo ops too!
Before we get started, a special reminder: The Tiny Carolers will offer two performances at our Seaside Christmas Event!
- Fri Dec 8, 3:00 pm SLT, here in Mieville Shelley
- Sat Dec 16, 4:00 pm SLT, here in Mieville Dickens
We are so pleased to continue this long-standing Mieville tradition and host the Tiny Carolers once again. Please plan to attend!
NOW, on to our scenic sites!
Of course we have lots of fun and picturesque shops throughout Dickens and Shelley offering wonderful wares and gifts, and we encourage you to visit them all as you explore the sites!
Here are some of the additional sites you'll discover at Seaside Dickens, nestled among the shops:
If you are new to Mieville or unfamiliar with who we are and what we do, stop by this booth to enjoy our slide shows and pick up a free Mieville keepsake present!
Lots of large and lovely homes are clustered behind the Village Shops on Dickens.
I've already seen many of you taking photos there, inside and outside —love it!! They are perfect backgrounds and settings for your photos and holiday cards!
Here are just a few examples:
Please do explore all the houses on Dickens, inside and out! The pretty interiors in the photos above have been styled by Bella, Una, and Cara Cali - let's extend thanks to all of them!
NEXT, there are some sweet hangouts at Seaside —here are just two of them:
Stop by to hang out and eat fish and chips to your heart's content! You can sit at the little table or grab some carry-out to eat as you wander through the rest of Seaside. Enjoy the holiday decor here, a lovely photo of historic Mieville Doyle docks, and photos of celebrity fish and chips lovers. Tea and cider are available here, and some stout has been set out as well. Hope you like it!
For those of you with a sweet tooth, be sure to visit this cozy and comfy little Pie Shop Bakery and Coffee House a few doors down from the Fish and Chips shop!
Hot coffee and cocoa are available to help wash it all down! Take something to go if you like, or just hang out here. It's that cozy!
Besides sweets and treats there's a wonderful interactive backgammon set ready for you and a friend to play, or you could even play yourself.
Look, here I am just waiting for a backgammon partner!
NEXT, on Seaside Shelley, there are SO many vast scenic areas to explore! Nine merchants have their large shops here and have decorated the surrounding areas as well. This area is SO huge that you simply have to go there and explore all the shops!
Here's a quick run through Shelley with landing points to get you started:
Left: Angel Fae Boutique by Sorrell Scorpio is featuring a super sale on lovely gowns and more, this location only! Sorrell is also sharing the site with Roger Thunders whose own WonderWorks shop is right next door!
Right: Arcadia Asylum by Briony Juran features a lot of holiday items and a vast range of amazing creations. And if you didn't already know, all of the items at Arcadia Asylum are totally free.
Left: Botanica by Cara Cali features tons of festive and fund outdoor holiday decor items, plants, and much more!
Right: Impertinences by nana Saenz features a huge candy dreamscape and dance party!
Left: Khargo Christmas by Keanu Kharg has tons of holiday items outdoors and inside. You probably can't see but my pup and I are sitting inside a huge ornament inside the store, lol!
Right: Kim's Kreations by kimberleyalice1961 showcases many pretty decor items everywhere! Love that little A-frame winter hut!
Left: My PiXeL PuPpEt by Aesirah has created a sparkling mystical landscape with wildlife and a cluster of little shop huts!
Right: Simply Shelby by Shelby Olivier includes this pretty gingerbread city! Of special note, they also have some Hannukkah items available.
LAST: Back on Dickens there are lots of outdoor scenes with snowmen, carolers, a crèche scene and more, again nice for photos and backdrops. We'll end this post with an outdoor crèche scene, the reason for the Christmas season!
Hope you all enjoy the season and have fun exploring Seaside Christmas on Mieville Dickens & Shelley!
