SECRET book / plant store?! ❤️ my love language! 📚🌵 Hidden away in Carmel by the Sea is Pilgrim's Way Community Bookstore. You can walk down this tiny plant-filled alley to shop their books or wander their garden plant shop. I loved all their beautiful classic with stunning covers (tons of Jane Austin and Agatha Christies here!) Robin took home a book about Nordic folktales and I grabbed some incense. It's easy to miss as you're exploring Carmel, so make sure to pop this in your maps and pay a visit!! #carmelbythesea #carmel #bookstore #plantshop #whimsysoul #seemonterey #visitcalifornia #hiddengem #californiahiddengems #northerncalifornia #bigsur #monterey #californiaroadtrip #whimsical #whimsy #janeausten #californiathingstodo #carmelthingstodo #carmelcalifornia
