We went by the other day on a foggy day. It was shortly before Christmas and we wandered around the beautiful rooms to admire the housewares. The building is very inviting to begin with because it's wood and has brick flooring throughout. Everything is displayed artistically with lots of space and in a manner that you might use it in your own home, it's like walking from one beautiful dining room to another beautiful area of a home. I started adding pottery from the Garden Gallery to my collection of housewares and they have served me well over the years because they're always such high-quality. I always get joy from using them The designs and colors are always tasteful and they really go well with any decor. More than that, the way the objects are displayed together is truly artistic and never fails to inspire me!

This is where I spend an hour while everybody else wonders through the maze of fudge, coffee, quirky tee shirts and post cards. This is what the garden department at a big box retailer would be if it had 100 stories to tell and 100's of interesting ways to create your own garden or home decor story. Leave time to meander through all that this shop has to offer and ask about the artists and merchandise.

When I ordered a new mattress and box spring, Lee said he would drain and haul away our water mattress. That proved to be quite a major and time-consuming effort. But he did it and he and his crew hauled it away and installed the new mattress. They also delivered a beautiful new chair. I could not be more grateful for getting both items in the house ready for use. I'd also like to mention that Ericka was very helpful with both orders. All in all, a happy customer. Thank you all.

However, me and my $500 cash walked out the door. I don't care how tired someone is, or how hard her life is. I'm not taking abuse from a hippie Karen. $500 out the door.

It's a such…read morea lovely store, with loots of unusual items, decorative, jewelry, artwork, lighting etc. Today we bought a front door mat, 2nd one we have bought. We also got 2) glasses to use for juice. They were $40 each, so only purchased for ourselves, not the grandkids. I also bought a cute inexpensive ring. Angela helped us as was extremely friendly, as usual. In the past we also purchased one of his hanging lights. Highly recommend stopping in.

Many of the stores have remained the same providing a familiarity over time while others have changed providing new store fronts to explore. Rowan Chase Studio occupies a corner store welcoming visitors to the area while showcasing some of the great artists in the area. While I believe the shop has changed ownership over time, the studio that is there stays true to its local roots highlighting beach and ocean pieces of art with a modern twist. When you walk in you are embraced by color and "warm" art. I love going in here just to peruse the store to see what they have in. The art they have is constantly changing reflecting the artists' changing styles. There are paintings, drawings, woodwork and glass all of which will provide a memory of your trip to Morro Bay. While we have purchased glass in the past, this time I went for some beautifully carved wood that will accentuate our PNW home. I was glad to hear they shipped because I don't have any room in my car! There are many galleries along this road and I just love these tributes to the creative minds in the area. RC studio is by far one of my favorites and perhaps if I had become a corporate lawyer, I may be able to make a purchase every time I entered the store!

There's a section of shells that would be great for jewelry making or art projects all priced under $1. My favorite area is the jewelry up front by the register. I got a variety of bracelets and anklets all priced from $4.99-$5.99 you can't beat that. They even have some unique "roses" made of different variety of shells.

You can find any shell you want to use for making crafts or any large beautiful shell you want simply to display in your home. The store is located on the Embarcadero in Morro Bay and it does have 30 minute free parking, which is important because the parking on the Embarcadero is always full. I'm sure they would let you run over the 30 minutes if you were shopping in the store. The store is always busy with lots of tourists choosing things to take home as genuine souvenirs. Some of the real beauties are the frames and little animals that they make out of shells as well as the ships made out of shells. I got a lot of scallop shells to use to make craft items with, ranging color from pale white to a beautiful coral in natural colorations. It's a fun place to come visit and simply look at the multitude of shells, or stock up on all reasonably priced shells.

(I live about 40 minutes away and wanted to find out if they still carry it before making the drive). Apparently the clerk I got on the phone was, unfortunately the same one that has gotten several negative reviews. She sounded older, think she said her name was Martha. I hadn't even finished telling her what I was looking for, and she cut me off, saying "Could you please call back, thank you" and hung up on me! Just like that! Not sure I want to make an hour and a half round-trip if she's going to be running the store, and I don't even know if they have what I want! Owner needs to consider either having a serious talk with her, or letting her go (hopefully she isn't the owner!)
