This means amusement parks and local , state , and federal parks. Even neighborhoods like Glen Park for a summer time hike around the canyon. Then you got East bay regional parks for more nature. Then hundreds of thousands of party people flocked to the Golden Gate Park last weekend for OSL ( Outside Side Land). What if I told you there is a park where there have fun things and it's open more than five days of week. It's located on Durant street in Berkeley and it's called Fun Park. On a Summer stroll on Telegraph on a sunny day and unto Durant street I landed at Fun Park. Inside there are lots items such as Pokémon characters and Kawaii goods. You will also see Sonny Angel blind boxes. You will see lots of Hello Kitty and Sanrio characters. They have claw machines .You can find my favorite Avocado & Sweet Mustard Lay chips. Overall a fun spot to spot characters all over inside Fun Park. Come to Fun Park Winter , Spring, Summer, or "Fall"and go on shopping "haul" on your favorite toys and "doll" and you don't need to go to the "shopping mall" Some of these items are "selectable" and some are "collectible"some are dolls which are animals and "vegetable" and go on a Summer stroll with Don Juan who is nothing "correctable"

I also got a fennel vegetable which is green and has a little face as well. . They also have a lot of pop art items as well other brands to Sanrio brand plus she as well.

OH i just love this place!…read more The location is intentional i assume. Growing craft industry means more places are selling artisan work. Since i do business on this street, yay for me.. eye candy and parousing. What a real ordeal it must be to have to barricade your business with steel bars overnight to prevent theft. Its the reality of a bigger city.. But i find that to be so underwhelming and unattractive. A place like this can only be credited in namesake of the artists that it carries, right? From what i see, They collect, make deals with, and sell hand selected artists' work. And id say their selection is great. But of course you pay more money for these things. So dont expect the prices to be low. Looking forward to k. I. T. With them on IG and visiting the shop as i vagrant the city. It was a pleasant stumble upon for me. After many times walking by too early, i went back during their business hours and that's how i took note of the steel bar operation :) Overall awesome browsing shop with tasteful artisan craft items for home, office and general decor

Really cool mix of edgy, organic, and stunning quality across the board. My partner and I have gotten permanent jewelry from them three times. One year & two years later our bracelets have held up so well, no breaks. Sienna, who does their permanent jewelry, is lovely and super attentive to detail. When we went in for our newest bracelets, they kindly cleaned our other ones, as the stones had gotten a little grubby in the past year. They have a wide ranging selection of chain styles and tons of beautiful charms to add on. We were also able to request a particular stone/setting in advance. All of the sales staff are friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable! We have shopped at their original Oakland location during busy hours when they have gracefully been juggling multiple customers and still made the point to check in with us. Their Berkeley space is super open with lots of room for browsing. We tried on a number of rings and they were so helpful in explaining different settings, stone cuts, etc. I wilk be shopping here for years to come!

Worked out well for me: I got to hang out at the bar at Wood Tavern, and scored needed points for being the patient and supportive stand-up guy that I am. Here's her take on the store: I've walked by this store many times. I always paused or slowed down because of the great window displays but never walked in: I mean, do I need another pair of earrings? Turns out I do! I also needed very chic trousers a bit reminiscent of Katharine Hepburn that I can wear all year. I need as much help as I can get to reach my goal of casual elegance - still unattained but these things will get me closer, lol . I almost put them on to wear to dinner. Whoever does the buying has a great design sense. Great place to pick up gifts, too. The whole experience - ambience, lovely young woman who helped me, beautiful things I wouldn't find on Amazon - was such a nice boost that I felt moved to bother to write a review! And because I overlooked the shop, I thought I'd point it out to others. It reminded me that shopping IRL is usually way more fun and effective for clothes and gifts, and that I'm relieved that retail and Oakland are not dead. And so conveniently located near La Farine, Cole Coffee...

I found a book I was first introduced to via social media and when I had recognized it on their shelf, I knew it was meant to find me. There were a few eye-catching prints and colors apparel brands - on the higher-end price point, but looked to be well-made pieces. Good place to try to find a gift for someone or for yourself.

I stumbled across a small pop up in the Livermore Outlets, and as usual walked away from some cute prospects. I'll stay awake at night thinking about how cute I could have looked in those dresses.

And the possible owner of the store is GREAT with faces. She genuinely remembers guests who return. So if you want to be the belle of the ball without breaking the bank: go here and find an outfit that will stun. Trust me, the owner always looks like she's leaving a fashion shoot! She can help you through a look together from head to toe.
