I am privileged to have been invited to support the Shop Rowayton campaign through this site, and do so with great enthusiasm, as the waterside Rowayton village shopping experience is an absolutely quintessential example of what makes Fairfield County such a special place to live.  Even if you think you already know Rowayton, have a look behind the curtain and get to know these business owners through the Shop Rowayton campaign: they’d love to get to know you, too!

This week’s featured merchant is Mark Yamnicky, owner of Frank’s Barber Shop and Hairstyling …. read about Mark, who’s carrying on 50 years of barber shop tradition, here!

Just looking at this custom, handmade frame makes me almost believe I can hear the pound of the surf against the shore and smell the salty air that is “beach ….,” which is, in fact, the inspiration behind TheySellSeaShells‘ gorgeous frames and mirrors.  These super high-end accessories are crafted by beach lovers and Rowayton artisans Elle Lydecker and Courtney Grabarek, and come in all varieties of shapes and sizes that are categorized according to the beaches that inspired their overall themes, like “The Turks & Caicos” and “Nikki Beach.”  You’ve got to see the website to view the collection for yourself and own at least one of the fabulous finds!

I am privileged to have been invited to support the Shop Rowayton campaign through this site, and do so with great enthusiasm, as the waterside Rowayton village shopping experience is an absolutely quintessential example of what makes Fairfield County such a special place to live.  ESPECIALLY in the summertime — I love nothing more than to slip down into Brendans 101 for an absolutely KILLER lobster salad sandwich and see little kids riding their bikes, with flags flying, barefoot and holding the handlebar with one hand while licking an ice cream cone with the other with their dads managing their direction by holding their bicycle seats … and meandering back down the sidewalks, browsing shop windows and enjoying the breeze from the water ….. but in order to continue to enjoy these special little shops and markets, we need to support them year round.  Even if you think you already know Rowayton, have a look behind the curtain and get to know these business owners through the Shop Rowayton campaign: they’d love to get to know you, too!

Start with this week’s featured merchant, Barbara Conroy, owner of the adorable, delicious and country-riverside-chic Rowayton Market …. read about her here!
