Ahhh, Erba

I love that my town's main street has the vibe of a quaint European village. San Clemente is the Spanish Village by the Sea, after all.

My favorite downtown destination is ERBA, a charming apothecary-style shoppe that makes my heart pang for the small Austrian village where I lived for a year and long to visit again.

Fragrant aromas from the shop's luxurious selection of lotions, potions, aromatherapy candles, and French-milled soaps waft in the air.

Vintage fixtures showcase other fancies like French-inspired note cards, cutesy home decor, hand care products for gardeners, and organic goods for baby.

I could browse this tiny shop for hours.

Erba, 114 Avenida Del Mar, Suite 1, San Clemente. 949-492-2355

Thank you so much for the compliment about erba. i have loved operating this shop for 5 years. Did you know that we now offer organic skin care for the face/ We donate to Breast Cancer issues- and do lots of self education regarding the importance of using natural skin care because I am a survivor myself. We now offer many of our products at www.shoperba.com. Check it out... and thanks again
