I met Nina in the store on Thursday and she was so friendly and patient, pointing out where the items were from and details I would not have noticed. She gave me a greater appreciation for the artistry of each piece. I felt completely at ease and could have spent the entire afternoon browsing and experiencing the lovely fabrics. Many items are made in Italy but have that fun Santa Ynez touch. I had a wonderful time at Santa Ynez General. I'll be sure to visit every time in the area to see what they're up to next...

I believe she's the owner quite frankly, and she was so helpful, so kind she really made this experience an even nicer one to be honest. You can find the cutest little knickknacks in the store great personal gifts quite frankly, I would go and just check it out. Also be careful because since there's a lot of things that can brake. just want to be on the cautious side because the store is really small. You can find plenty of parking on the street on Main Street in Solvang or you can find parking behind their establishment. Either way you have to check out this store.

I was horrified to hear this. Disgusting considering we were all very polite AND spent money here. Had I known at the time I wouldn't have made my purchase! Never left a negative review on here before but this was such a sour experience. Please do better!

I had absolutely no intention of buying anything in the shop. My attention was first captivated by PJ Salvage dog and horse pajamas, all nicely bundled together with gift tags. The pajamas ranged in price from $59 for the cute matching flannel dog pajamas to $67 for the softest horse pajama pants. A bit pricey, but unique finds! Further browsing revealed a lovely selection of western style attire. I found a beautiful colorful blouse for my mom that I simply could not resist! I wish I could've resisted the beautiful sparkly flannel shirt for myself, but that jumped in my pile. Cheri perfectly wrapped my mom's gift in burlap. My mom will love the wrapping! Cheri was kind, professional and friendly. Her boutique is quite nice and has a lovely selection of western attire (clothes, boots) and miscellaneous goods like blankets, dog bed, and home goods. I will definitely return... more than likely for pajamas for my horse-loving cousin.

I ordered online and went with "Designer's Choice" and wow, I could not be happier that I did. My aunt called me absolutely overjoyed by her surprise! The delivery person noticed her sign asking not to knock or ring the doorbell (she has a reactive pup) and instead sent her a text and waited patiently for her to come outside. Then took the time to congratulate her on finishing chemo. That kind of thoughtfulness is so rare and it genuinely meant so much. And the bouquet? Mind blowing. My aunt said it is the most beautiful arrangement she has ever received in her entire life and that the photos do not even come close to doing it justice. Her whole house smells amazing. Thank you Renae's Bouquets for making my auntie's day truly unforgettable!

It was a very small bouquet (the size of a roll of paper towels). The clear glass vase with a mix of stems showing through was a standard FTD vase (not like high-end professional florist). I got the flowers on Thursday and by Saturday morning everything wilted all over the table and floor and I had to throw them out (plus, every time I looked at them I felt bad). I'm including photos so you can better understand how this was not worth $150. In all fairness, I could have called them to see if they would make good on the order, but I didn't. If this was their best effort for $150 I can't recommend them. Amazon Prime flowers are better and last forever. Get the French Country flowers - they are beautiful, will last weeks, and only $59. My last comment: They made a big fuss about the flowers being grown locally, but I think that's where the problem begins. A florist is only as good as their flowers, and these flowers were pretty, but fell apart almost overnight like wildflowers do. They rotted fast.

Day 3 fell apart and tossed out. NOT worth $150
