Lilify invites you to explore our first signature ceramic collection created in collaboration with Alex Marshall Studios, RITUAL: gloss black and matte white handcrafted drinking vessels.

The Lilify x Alex Marshall RITUAL collection is in homage to our habitual mini moments – turning our day-to-day routines into a rite. Waking up to bright espresso, stopping mid-morning for a spot of tea, returning home after a hectic day to a bracing cocktail, sitting down with a beloved book and a soothing chalice of cabernet - the familiar and frequent traditions that allow each of us to brake and to just be.

Alex Marshall Studios is based out of Chico, California. Alex is the artist and her husband, Andrew, is the business manager. The team creates ceramics that are conceptual and connecting, organic yet modern, stunning as well as utilitarian.

We love watching people fall in love with Alex’s work, just like we did. Visit us and view these beautiful pieces in person at 281 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey.

Parking Garage Serves Monterey's Lighthouse District

Posted on July 22nd, 2019 by lighthouseave

We know that street parking on Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey can be challenging. The great news is that there's a public parking garage located at 601 Foam Street (between Hoffman and Prescott), a short walk from all your favorite Lighthouse District shops and restaurants!

MONTEREY RESIDENTS
After 4pm, parking in the Foam Street Garage is free for residents whose zip code begins in 939 (just show the attendant your driver's license). During the day, Monterey residents with a one-year parking decal from the City (only $10) can enjoy 2 hours of free parking per day.

MONTEREY VISITORS
Not a local resident? No problem! The Foam Street Garage offers parking for a flat, daily rate. Depending on the season (and the demand), the daytime rate will vary from $8 to $18. In the evenings, that rate will drop, usually as low as $5.

DISABLED VISITORS
The City of Monterey offers all people with a valid disabled person's placard or license plate a 50% discount off the posted parking rate at the Foam Street ("Cannery Row") Garage. More information on Monterey parking for people with disabilities can be found here.
