Morningtide is a super cute little popup filled with inventory created by independent designers…read more So many of the items in the shop were adorable, most especially the hair clips by Nat + Noor. Although the prices felt ever so slightly high, in general they're actually on par with what's charged by the designers. I would have loved to have seen some Nade Studios items, Madi Apparel, Friendsheep pieces, or just crocheted items in general, although it looks like their inventory changes often and sometimes they carry Babaa. The service was super friendly during our visit and I'm excited to keep an eye on Morningtide to see what they're going to carry next!

I don't know how many times I have driven by the front door at Casa Oaxaca, but I decided to…read moreactually go inside today, and not just from curiosity but from memories of my visit to the city itself decades earlier. At the window you can tell there's a lot of love and respect for the city of oaxaca. Most people don't know, but this city is revered not only for its fine cuisine and introducing several types of mole to the culinary world but also its artisans in the area and the celebration of the day of the dead. And that's after you've seen the pyramids and temples that are still there from ancient civilizations. As I enter I hear Latin strings and music being sung in the background that filled the shop and gave me the feeling that I was stepping through a threshold into another world. Looking around me I see all the famous wood carvings that they're famous for that are extremely colorful and playful. Ornaments and tapestries clothing beautiful black jars for black jars. The place has thousands of items in it I'm sure. I don't know how he found room for everything in such a small space. Carlos introduced himself to me. A very warm and generous person with much information and never gets tired of questions. It was fun for me to go back through my recollections of the city And tell him why I missed it so much and will return soon. Hes from there and he nodded knowingly that I had actually found what people from there already know. If you haven't been there it should be a destination in your life. I must say I wasn't prepared to buy anything on that trip but was more of a just drop in and see but I did walk out with a couple items and I have no shame. They were fun and there's a birthday coming up and I got a couple things to give away. It was fun being in there.. I'm going to return with my wife and she'll say why I look at it with love with long thoughtful eyes. This is a great little shop on salano Avenue and I believe that it's worth a walk in if nothing else but to Marvel at all the little items that you might miss normally. And the price range varies from not expensive too very expensive depending on your taste.

Chemi Chemi (pronounced Chimi Chimi) is the kindest woman at this shop with so many treasures! By far, some of the most beautiful silver earrings I've seen.

Lots of beautiful polished crystals in various shapes, sage, sound bowls of various sizes, and everything you could think of. I'm very glad I stopped in here and I highly recommend. I'll definitely be back!

Parking is ok and lots of other great shops near by. They have a habit of having low displays that contain choking hazards. I have mentioned it to the staff 3 times and every time we go in there are little plastic animals, marbles, or 3D printed stuff at the 2 year old mouth level. I spend the whole time making sure nothing goes in the kids mouth.
