The Kevin Lahey Gallery and Monte Belle Boutique are like a retail match made in heaven! My eyeballs were popping out of my head trying to take in all the fun stuff to look at in this eclectic little shop. Kevin Lahey is well know for his photography, particularly of Mt. Shasta. His gallery is beautifully showcased in the rear of the shop and along an interesting hallway to the side.

The shop also has great clothes - super cool and very hip! In the mix are great vintage items. Check out these vintage signs and these cute bracelets made of old typewriter keys. The conversation pieces alone are worth stopping in for - the miniature pink ceramic vanity and tub - the cigarette vending machine - cool cool cool!

My daughter and I were particularly drawn to the vintage tin windup toys. Kevin Lahey admitted his favorite is the duck that rides a bike in circle and has a spinning beanie hat. Funny funny stuff! And no shop like this would be complete without the funny magnets.

This is one of those shops that make you want to buy SOMETHING just because it’s such a cool place. So, I did! Check out the next Applehead Finds to see what I found. And if you are in Mt. Shasta the Kevin Lahey Gallery and Monte Bella Boutique are a must see!
