I love handmade pottery, so I was delighted when my friend did her research on Solvang and insisted…read morewe pop in here. There was a small but delightful collection of pottery from a local artist. I found another soup bowl to add to pile of unique soup bowls that I've collected all over the country. Oy vey - I had to have it. Inside you'll find anything from whimsical clocks to glittery jewelry to home decor. So much nicer than some of the horrible variety of cheap crap that other stores in town offer. Very friendly staff.

Seems like the jewelry is made from local artists rather that mail order China junk. The woman at the counter is very helpful, patient and not pushy on a sale one bit. -1 for ring size selection. I wanted a certain ring so bad but they didn't have my size. I didn't walk out empty handed...they have these cool rock soaps that smell great and last for a long time!!! And they had adorable greeting cards! Overall a charming, must visit jewelry & gift boutique with pieces for everyone at a reasonable price.

I hate to give a bad rating to a small store run by its proprietor, but the "jokes, magic,…read morecostumes, and rentals" here are sorely lacking. Ruth Cooper is the owner and although she is very nice, the store is filled with various packaged magic tricks and practical jokes that look like they were made in the 1970s. Also, the store doesn't have enough "joke" stuff, so there is a wall of purses and miscellaneous non-joke stuff. Maybe those purses have to do with the "costumes," but I don't think so. I guess if you live in Solvang, this is where you would go for your jokes and magic paraphenalia. Otherwise, go online or to one of those magic stores in a mall; you'll find a much better selection elsewhere!
