It was recommended that I try Tibetan singing bowls in person over ordering online and was…read morefortunate to be within driving distance of this shop. The owners are wonderful and patient in demonstrating and teaching me about the singing bowls. And the advice was excellent as all the bowls sounded excellent in its own right, but when compared side by side, I had a distinct preference for one over the other. The one I chose "sang" to me. Highly recommended if you are looking for a singing bowl.

I thought that was a great value for such a beautiful and distinctive gift. I also love that they have different beautiful wrapping options for gifts. We even found a little mirror to add to the gift, and the case had beautiful Van Gogh artwork on both sides. Such a fun place to browse when you're looking for something a little different!

There's always something new, cute, and interesting to find here. Some items are also imported. Prices can be reasonable to high (e.g. they have a range of $40 to $350+ in clothing and accessory/jewelry items). I first noticed them years ago at their original location on Lincoln Ave. They relocated to this much more spacious spot after the pandemic. So glad they are still in business. I have bought various items through the years from this store for myself and for loved ones as gifts (beautiful pillbox hats with lace netting, jewelry, fashionable scarves, statement socks, etc). Great place to find a gift for someone in your life that has "everything" already. Local woman-owned business too. Located in the inner walkway/courtyard of South Shore outdoor shopping center, across from the children's play area.

Charming, eclectic, beautiful, and always full of unexpected treasures. I always find something special here: beautiful soaps and oils, fun nostalgic T-shirts, and the cutest cat-themed pieces. We've found cat earrings that my daughter absolutely loves seeing me wear, and this time I found the most gorgeous black cat scarf for her. ‍ And of course, I always manage to find something for myself too. This visit it was three camisoles that I can wear under things or on their own, practical and fun at the same time as it takes me back in time. Marty has such a wonderful eye for unique pieces, and every visit feels like a little treasure hunt. It's one of those special Alameda shops that just keeps me happy that I hope doesn't go away!

Walking down Park on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, I peeked into what was the back entrance of a…read morecute vintage shop. Really, I thought immediately the place was out of my price range, but a friendly stranger told me I should go look inside, offering that you could do cute date nights and make your own scents here, but then she assured me the place was black owned, and I HAD to at least see what gems were hiding inside. And there were so many! Bath salts you could mix to bring home, an oil scent lab, and all sorts of adorable accessories that caught my eye: lacy socks, perfect for Docs; some earrings at a great price point; and some sunglasses that no one else will be wearing ANYWHERE, for a mere $20! The woman working the store was just so friendly, and told us to cash is Queen in here store, if you know what I mean? But, I've found my favorite place to invest my modest disposable income at when I'm in Alameda. I'll be back to crate an oil scent roller...for $15! That's absurd. And it was sweet the store has my father's name: To Herb With Love. My mom must've been sending me angel messages.
