Good Morning Cardiff-by-the-Sea

On October 1st, 36 years ago a gem of a shop opened its doors in Downtown Cardiff, and since then, has remained one of the bustling beach town’s greatest shopping attractions. Modestly tucked into the corner of Downtown, this tiny store is just as much an experience as it is a shopping adventure. Packed to the brim with treasures, many handcrafted from all around the world, Good Morning is just what the name reflects, “A breath of fresh air.” From the garden gnomes and troll figurines tucked delicately into aging pieces of driftwood, to the glitter strewn gingerly everywhere, both kids and kids at heart can’t get enough of this mecca of goodies. Owner Darreld, who has run the shop since its beginnings, is a kindred spirit himself, complete with wonderfully eloquent stories about Cardiff history, and the friends he’s made during the past 36 years here. It’s no wonder that as customers walk in to peruse the magical abundance Darreld offers, that he treats everyone like a friend.
