From $5 dish towels, that I adore, to high dollar designer clothes (that luckily were marked half off!).

The random writing supplies and kitchen items are amazing too. Oh, and the leather bracelet I had to have too! Love love love this boutique!

If you are already familiar with Maude, you'll be thrilled to know that there will be no more stairs to climb!

It's always light and open with an incredible, on trend selection of a nice variety of styles. Laura helped me today and I remember her from previous visits as well. I have to say that the quality of the items is all so like new, that it's almost as though you're at a boutique that carries a fun assortment, rather than a consignment shop. You might not fully notice were it not for the handwritten tags and incredible prices! I'm definitely a Second Hand Rose when it comes to clothes, so I frequent the consignment shops in the area, but few have a selection this good, nor such a charming ambiance.

My husband surprised me with a candle making workshop / class. The website says that you are welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks to enhance the candle fun. Hot wax and small vittles are a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon! Jenn our fearless soy candle leader was informative and fun. I appreciate her authenticity and real connection that she made with us. It was nice to meet someone who was able to be themself. Refreshing. The entire class was an intimate group of five total. Jenn took her time with us and made sure that we were happy with the scents we chose for our candles. The class spends a bit of time talking about scents and how to layer them. Did I learn how to make candles on my own? No. It was more of an introduction to the world of candle making. Give it a try and dip your wick into it. FYI: You get a 15% store wide discount on the day of the workshop. Scents open up more fully in your candle after a few days. One Disappointment: We checked Google and Yelp for their hours and thought we could make it before they closed. We raced over for our candles after work. Google & Yelp HAVE MISINFORMATION about HOURS. We tried to call...no answer. Hours are not posted on their door. So check their website for their hours.

They glistened and stole the show in every photo. I loved them. After college - I briefly taught third graders and I'll never forget my first day of class. After introducing myself to the room - a small hand quickly shot up. With big wide eyes, a nine-year-old girl announced to the whole class "Woah - Ms. Jessica those are the biggest hoop earrings I've ever seen! " The rest of the class nodded in agreement. As I got older - I moved on to lighter - feather earrings. Then I moved onto dream catcher earrings. And currently - to match with my sweatpants clad - minimalistic existence - I wear none. My ears have been loving the freedom of my earring-free life. But today - with all of the stress of the current election - I decided to ease my anxieties with a little retail therapy. I decided to resurrect my love of hoop earrings - by investing in a golden pair. I came across Point Reyes Jewelers masterful creations on a number of lovely local online stores and I decided to go for it. I loved that David - the artist behind the jewelry has been making his art for over 25 years. He keeps comfort a top priority and he makes every item with genuine sterling silver or 14k gold filled. He'll even make pieces from 14k and 18k gold upon request. I'm so looking forward to my new pair of hoops (and hooping my sensitive ears will embrace them as well). If you're looking for an easy to ship gift for a loved one - I highly recommend checking out David's elegant and simple jewelry designs. Trust.

The store is very well organized and has a little bit of everything. There are separate sections for men's and women's clothing, along with games, kitchen items, home décor, vintage treasures, and many other unique finds. Everything is neatly displayed, making it easy to browse without feeling overwhelmed. What I especially liked was the variety. Whether you're looking for clothing, a vintage piece, a kitchen item, or just enjoy treasure hunting, there is something here for everyone. If you're spending time in downtown Mill Valley, this is definitely worth a stop. It's a cute, welcoming shop and a perfect place to wander through after lunch or while exploring the area. Highly recommended for thrift store lovers and anyone who enjoys discovering unexpected gems.

I love the selection, have found fun toys for my daughter when she was young and re-donated when she grew out of them. I have found some great cookware i.e., Corning Ware pieces, small kitchen appliances throughout the years. The staff is very friendly and accomodating. And they often have some sort of promotion with '1/2 off days' or everything green 1/2 off for St. Patricks day. Oh, and they often have throwback music playing which adds to the kitschy ambience.
