Pictured: Lee Ostendorf, proprietress of Main Street Mercantile, says her new store is a “dream-come- true.” While growing up in Long Beach she loved coming to Seal Beach. “This town just has the right vibes! It feels like home here,” she said. “People are so friendly and I love the store location–in the back of Brita’s Old Town Gardens.”

Main Street Mercantile, 223 ½ Main St., has pepper plant garlic-based sauces from Gilroy; olive oil and spices from Temecula; cakes made in Fullerton (from a grandmother’s recipes); quilts, tote bags and little girls’ dresses created by 89-year-old Betty Smith of Lakewood; soaps and lip balm from a Signal Hill mother and son; Southern California jewelry made from recycled sea glass; macadamia nuts grown in Fallbrook; vintage t-shirt reproductions (one featuring an old photo of the Queen Mary) by a Fullerton designer; reproductions of Seal Beach landmarks by a well-known Sunset Beach artist ….
