Aunque no tengo artefactos antiguos en mi tienda. Me encanta ir a los mercados de antiguedad. Creo que empezare a traer un poco de antiguedades a mi tienda. Definitivamente hay un mercado muy grande que le encanta comprar y decorar sus casas con antefactos viejos. Especialmente los artefactos religiosos.  

My Goal At Shiroco's Fusion Decor.

My goal at Shiroco's Fusion Decor is to offer my customers a breadth or products that brings quality, style, and the trend to the home decor marketplace. I strive to create a unique product line that meets the needs of my retail customers, and products that create a desire for the customer to make their home a unique expression of themselves. Im working hard to find artist with the same vision. Throughout the week I'll be posting pix of items ( French Vintage Collection ) from artist in Paris with a small descripition of the product as well as a small bio of the artist. So you will learn more about wht Shirocos is all about . Please feel free to post any comments.

Share Your World of Valentine's LOVE

Share Your World of Valentine’s LOVE @ Shiroco’s

Have you heard? For each advance flower order for your Valentines sweetie, Shiroco’s will give 10% to an organization to rebuild Haiti! Originally, we said we will do this with a minimum order of $39.99.

Because you’re a special customer, mention this note and we’ll do the same for you with any $29.99 order! Save $10 and the world!

But you must place your order soon. (You can even order flowers for yourself in case your loved one forgets!)

We want Benicia to be noticed as a community that cares. And what’s better than a Valentine’s Day deal!

 Design for gathering

Family rooms are gathering places that should exude a relaxed style and communicate warmth and playfulness.

Perhaps the most important consideration for such an active room is how to keep the space's flow while noting its separate areas. Color, furniture placement, and area rugs can help meet this goal.

Here, a U-shaped seating area encourages conversation. Artifacts from family travels reflect the personalities of those who live here, while the fireplace and television anchor the space.

On The Water's Edge of the Napa Valley

On The Water’s Edge of the Napa Valley
Backyard winemaking is just one of the connections to Napa that we should be celebrating (though I loved the recent piece in the paper). 

Like lots of the rest of California, Napa wouldn’t be what it is today without us playing a role in their past. And as a community that is actively interested in drawing more tourists, Benicia could be doing more to bring us closer together with our neighbors again. 

Many First Street merchants know this. There are a lot of people who come to the North Bay on their way to Napa or Sonoma and discover shopping, strolling, eating and more in Benicia. 

Which is actually why Shiroco’s loves to use the tagline that Benicia is really “on the water’s edge of the Napa Valley.” 

We love it when folks discover that we are here and that we have much to offer. We are a door to their success—a role we just might be playing in the future as the Suisun Valley begins to make its treasures better known. (If you haven’t seen it yet, click over to www.SuisunValley.com.)

All of our valley partners are among the nation’s most popular places to visit and spend money so we should be proud to do our best to let these customers know we want them to come and do business with us as well. 

But Benicia deserves more attention than we’re getting. We’ve earned the right and we have the goods to make ourselves part of the success. 

Those who settled here in the mid-1800s in search for California’s golden treasures often found themselves heading over to discover what the “Benicia Fever” was all about too. We were the place where they often stopped to pick up supplies before they headed elsewhere. 

And what’s funny is that because of our location early settlers even decided a good crop to grow was grapes. Apparently we may well have been the original wine country before Napa was Napa in the same way that we were San Francisco before they took that name. 

There are even Native American tales about how the yellow mustard blooms that spring up annually along Highway 12 were spread there as a way for old-time travelers to find their way to and from their journeys south … and potentially even as they came to Benicia for ready access to our shores. 

Today, the situation is different. Printed or posted online tourist maps of the area show that the riches of the Napa and surrounding valleys end at American Canyon. When we asked why, one site representative told us that Benicia wasn’t included on their site because it really belonged to California’s Central Valley!

Shiroco’s is starting several projects as part of our move to our new store to try to put Benicia back on these maps of opportunity. 

We are working to draw attention to local winemakers (and now will add backyard wine families!) and have already acknowledged great women-owned companies like Bink.com. And our new store has a gourmet section where we expect to be selling many tastes of our local food artisans. 

But we want to do more and hope others will join in the effort. We’ve started planning to organize a fall cheese and honey festival with our business friend Piccolo to raise money for the Benicia Education Foundation and to get a “buzz” started about the tasty treats our region has to offer. 

We trust that in heading down this road we can once again get Benicia recognized for our place on the water’s edge of a great region.
