I found Decoration Dash through a quick Google search and haven't looked back since. Devon is easy to work with and takes the time to tailor exactly what you want for your home while staying within your proposed budget. They are always prompt with both installation and takedown, which makes the whole process stress-free. I highly recommend Decoration Dash to anyone looking for professional, reliable Christmas decorating.

I am incredibly impressed with Decoration Dash. From the initial inquiry to the final install,…read moreeverything was seamless and stress-free. First, their communication is top-tier. They provided a quick response to my quote request and were easy to communicate with throughout the entire process, answering all my questions promptly. The price they quoted was more than reasonable, especially for the quality of work. There were no hidden fees or surprises--just a straightforward, fair price for a professional job. The installation crew was efficient and the final result is stunning. The light quality is fantastic--bright, vibrant, and evenly spaced. The color (we chose classic warm white and red) is exactly what we wanted and looks so cohesive and elegant. I highly recommend Decoration Dash to anyone who wants a gorgeous holiday display without any of the hassle. We've found our permanent light installers!

"I have a minimum of $275, repair to the gutters should be only $75. $325. For a full system flush, that includes all gutters and downspouts on the property. We also take before and after pictures so you can see what's going on up there. For repair we charge an extra $75, that includes any patching, caulking, minor parts and labor.(up to 4 small repairs) $25 each additional repair." He gave me a quote for a future window cleaning: "Windows $625 We clean all the windows and glass door, inside and outside, tracks, screens and frame." I'm expecting a quote for gutter screen installation to prevent pine needle re-accumulation. Highly recommended.

Payment via Check or Zelle is easy enough. What I didn't appreciate is that on his way out, Igor put up "Rain Gutter and Window Cleaning" signs everywhere. I live in an area right along a nature walk, so of course there was a big blue sign advertizing his business right next to the water. Ugh. And another one around the corner. Ugh again. In short: Seems like a nice guy, seems like he does a great job. Zero sense of what's appropriate for the community.

I am so glad that we go to try out Teuscher Chocolates of Switzerland…read more It is tucked inside of a little shopping complex located upstairs, and it is on one of the main roads with shopping in La Jolla Village. I have been past it several times but did not know it was there. The store is small but they have plenty of different styles and sizes of high quality Swiss chocolates. We got to try it last weekend as part of a Mystery picnic experience. The person working at the counter grabbed our to go package and asked some questions, we let her know it was part of the picnic, and she said she had also done the picnic, but down in Coronado. She told us about the shop, the chocolates, about some of the different packages, etc. The chocolates were decadent, rich, sweet and delicious. Our package came with a few different types. But there are many options to choose from. I am looking forward to trying more out. Enjoy the photos.

Warwick's has been around for over a century, and they have the attitude to go along with that…read morestoried history. While the bookstore itself has a decent & varied selection of new books, and they'll order any book for you that they don't have, it is not the most pleasant place to shop. As a bibliophile and an English teacher, I really want to like and support Warwick's, but unfortunately, they've treated me poorly on multiple occasions which makes it challenging for me to give them more chances. There are many book sellers & employees, but they are not very helpful and they treat you like an inconvenience or worse. The right side of the store is book-centric while the left side of the store is mostly stationery & cards, writing utensils, gift items, and tchotchkes. Today, I purchased a book and a pen refill with a credit that I had at the store. I requested the pen refill from one counter, and I had to go to the book counter to pay for my book. Instead of giving me the refill so I could bring it over to the book counter and pay for both items with my credit, the employee brought the refill over herself and told a 2nd employee while pointing at me that, "that woman over there is also getting this pen refill along with her book." Then the 2nd employee handed the refill to a 3rd employee who stashed it behind the counter while I waited for my turn to pay. Keep in mind that the pen refill was a mere $6 item but they treated it like a precious gem that would surely compel me, if I held it in my own hands, to run out of the store with it without paying for it. Meanwhile, I'm holding the much pricier book that I'm going to purchase in my hands, but I rapidly felt like turning on my heels and vacating the store, and leaving the book behind, of course, because that moment was just so strange and uncomfortable. Over the past ten years, I have regularly patronized this store and I've purchased items here multiple times per year. However, there is no recognition, no friendliness, nothing to indicate that I'm more than just a tourist popping in on vacation. At the very least, a friendly greeting would do, but no such luck. Every time I cross the threshold, I feel a wall of snootiness that is just unpleasant and takes away from what could be a lovely shopping experience. As I'm sure you've figured out by now, items are definitely on the pricey side here. You can certainly find a better value and probably way friendlier service at other bookstores outside of LJ. I think Warwick's probably provides a different type of shopping experience for patrons depending on who the employees perceive them to be, even if they are way off the mark. C'est la vie. Just know that if you are a POC and you shop here, you may have an unpleasant experience, but I certainly hope that you don't! Peace.

Floral Palette on Girard St in La Jolla is a visually amazing store that sells mostly home decor,…read morelimited clothing for men, women and small kids. It all reminds me of another store called Anthropologie but this place has less clothing. After having a savory bakery treat from Parisien Gourmandises which is accessible by going inside Floral Palette. I walked through the store and browse through merchandise on display. A few things that caught my attention were the Voluspa scented reed diffusers, which I had purchased in the past from Barney's and Neiman Marcus. I prefer reed diffusers over candles for less hazard and more safety. Also, liked some of the collection of tinted stemware...these items are pricey but might be worth it for some. Despite me trying to flag down someone for assistance, the two female staffers pretend to ignore me and continue doing whatever seems to be more interesting than a potential buyer. As much as I like some of the goods, if service isn't even at par, I probably will not shop there. It's unfortunate for them to lose out on prospective customers since the french cafe is going more business. I suggest they should be more proactive in better customer service. The french cafe's service is outstanding and they should take serious notes. For now, due to none existing service, I cannot recommend Floral Palette. Pass!
