Shopping in Cape May is terrific!
My daughter and I just celebrated her birthday in Cape May. While there I took these pictures as we shopped.
If you visit Cape May, expect to find selected, unusual items, as many Cape May visitors prefer higher-end products. Even so, Cape May’s prices tend to be very reasonable.
Here are just a few of the Cape May stores that I find outstanding:

Casale’s Shoes,, probably the oldest operating store in Cape May, was opened 60 years ago.

Dan Casale, grandson of the original owner, offers excellent, stylish shoes that fit.

Denise, who waited on my daughter and I, holds the shoe style that I bought. Extremely comfortable, I plan to wear it for many years.

When I visit Cape May I always visit Hello Gorgeous!

Kim, who manages Hello Gorgeous! is a delight to know.

Rhinestone dark glasses, a hot style in Paris, can be purchased at Hello Gorgeous!

Classy clothing styles are offered at Bella by store owner, Dominic Vitale.

Beach Treats offers great swimsuits that really fit.

Kaleidoscope and Just for Laughs, which adjoins Kaleidoscope, are owned by husband and wife Barry and Susan Tischer.

Kaleidoscope offers a considerable variety of pretty summer apparel.
Susan Tischler, owner of Kaleidoscope, is a talented buyer who stocks her store with exceptionally beautiful items.

My daughter just had to have a cat shirt, bought in the adjoining store, Just for Laughs.

Arden’s Kids is filled with high end clothing for children. Store manager, Eva, told me that the store originally showed samples, which were then custom ordered.

Happy Baby Boutique offers novelty children’s clothing.

Johnette, pattern administrator at the Fiber Arts Yarn Shop quickly found the vest knitting instructions that I needed.

The Fiber Arts Yarn Shop is well supplied with yarns, buttons, instructions, and knitting equipment.

Free Love Bridal offers beautiful wedding gowns and all accessories.

Tim and Betsy make sure their brides have superior service.
