My most recent find and absolute obsession is a pearl necklace that I found here. I've been wearing it pretty often and I'm in love. The jewelry overall is always fun and you never know what you'll find. I've also over the years's accumulated a variety of different fun things from here, including local oils and perfumes. There's also some really fun home decor, related items and art of course. One of my favorite prints I got here a few years ago. And now probably sits in my office.

F. Candle Co. I used to live within minutes of their factory - small world! I picked up this super soft Dwight Yoakam t-shirt for my significant other. He loved it. I also snatched a humorous farmer-inspired card. They have a ton of jewelry. Bags. Incenses. Other candles. Artwork. Books. Some children's books that looked highly interesting. For such a wide variety of items and so much of it I was surprised as to how easy it was to navigate. The young lady working the afternoon of 6/13/2023 was most amicable and accomodating.

If so, I doubt that it looked anywhere near as colorful and beautiful as it does now. The tagline on the 4th Street entrance sign (shared with Farm & Table) is "world decor/gifts/vintage," and it fits the place to a tee. But they easily could have added "flowering trees," "flowing water," "blooming gardens," "radiant sunshine," "world music," "retro chic," or any number of other descriptors. Some of the items here are bulky and best suited for local purchase and use, especially the hand-painted garden planters and exquisite ceramics and wooden sculptures on display inside the store on the first floor. Others, like the funky vintage items in the upstairs "Retro Kitchen," are ideal as traveling gifts for self, friends, or family. It's hard to describe everything else, which ranges from small ceramic suns and moons to day of the dead key rings, blank note cards, bear-shaped coin purses, scarves, gloves, necklaces, and a full compliment of exotic, alluring, aesthetically intriguing outerwear for women and men. Everything is carefully arranged and tastefully presented, but it's not so precious that you'd be afraid to bring your 2-year inside for a look. This isn't a Dale Chihuly gift shop, or a place for showing off 50-year old aged balsamic in Venetian hand-blown glass. The painted birdhouses and potted plant burros, frogs, and chickens are tougher than they might look. If you ever are tempted to convert 100% of your shopping dollars to on-line retail, visiting La Parada may make you reconsider. Like an approaching stagecoach stop that people yearned to reach after days of dusty, sun-baked travel on bone-rattling roads and perilous river crossings, some places are best experienced in person, with the hands and fingers and optic nerves that millions of years of evolutionary history have crafted, one natural selection at a time. Whenever I visit a unique and lovingly-tended place like La Parada, I wonder how many times a particular key chain or coin purse or flower pot has been looked at, touched, talked about, before finally finding a buyer. I imagine the leather being stitched, the ceramic being painted, the face of St. Francis being sanded, the birds on his shoulder being attached, the fabric being woven, dyed, and sewn, the boxes being lined with packing materials in La Paz, Las Cruces, Southern India, Sulawesi, or Isfahan. And then, like magic, they appear within range of your vision. You look, you touch, you ponder, and if the stars align and the price is right, you purchase. And then you pack up your belongings, cast a skeptical glance outside at the dark clouds gathering on the horizon, get back in your SUV-sized stagecoach, say your goodbyes and bon voyage's and vaya con dios's, and you move on to the next stop of the journey, with your new bear-shaped coin purse and painted ceramic sun and moon wrapped up securely next to your seat, no doubt curious about where they will be going next.

The colors are vibrant. Their products have been good quality. And they are mostly affordable. I love their metal cacti lawn ornaments, from Mexico. Pottery (10% off) and ristras (20% off) also made in Mexico. This place always has other unique gifts too... "tortilla" coasters. LED chili pepper lights. Blue Q coin purses. Plants - including the variegated string of pearls of which I may soon be convicted of botanical homicide. It's not looking good and I am incredibly sad about that.

So often, Sireesha just couldn't stomach our collective dysfunctional fashion faux pas; she'd be driving along and see somebody, and suddenly she'd hit the brakes and be like, "Howie, that's just wrong. She's wearing a pant suit. And f@cking Birkenstocks. I'm going to do it, Howie, I'm going to get a f@cking van, and f@cking grab these people off the street and give them better clothes and give them a f@cking clue." I kind of feel like Tess Coats, the tinker and thinker behind this spectacular Airstream mobile boutique, is passing silent judgement on this city, as well. It's not enough that she thinks our taste in home decor, cosmetics and accessories are something of an embarrassment, no, she obviously thinks she needs to forcibly do something about it. She's going to drive the f@cking store to your f@cking park or coffee shop or show, whatever. She wants you to buy really incredible locally-made stuff and get with the program, already. I'll stipulate that I've yet to buy anything from this immaculate silver bullet, y'know, I'm still trying to figure out how to simultaneously sport socks and flip-flops, but in the meantime, I'm really glad Tess is in this town. Definitely peruse the goods, and dig the interior design work. I love this concept, she's really good people, and Spectacle Caravan is super AlbuQuirky.

I was able to get a couple nice things for myself as well as a great gift for a friend back home who dog sat my furry companion. The store is pretty big and virtually every inch has something interesting to consider buying. I wish the online store featured more of the items actually sold in store because I'd probably buy a cactus for myself after seeing the one I bought my friend. The salesperson also gave us some tips on where to visit while we were in the area. She was really friendly and a great resource for us. If you only get a chance to visit one gift shop in the area I'd say this one is your best bet!
