GETTING HERE:…read more Navigate to the address listed on Yelp. It's located across the street from the Santa Barbara Museum of Art in DTSB. REVIEW: I stumbled upon Paradise Found as I was trying to find parking in downtown SB. I am so thankful to have found it! I love stores like this; when I enter I feel a sense of peace and relief. I feel like I can breathe. Books galore. Many, many books! I love the books! I observed they offer psychic readings, although I am unclear if that's P.C. in 2026? Please forgive me if I am mistaken. Various items for sale, stickers and candles, etc. There was one quiet employee working behind the counter. I think she smiled at me, if that. But, I definitely welcomed that energy shift when I entered the store. I am looking forward to going back! I definitely recommend a visit. Thanks!

Located steps away from State Street and next door to Grassini Winery. You can expect to find gorgeous handmade ceramics, plants, art, decor, dried flowers and more! I ended up purchasing some incense, a beautiful ceramic vase, and a small box of matches with Frida on it. The incense was burning in the store, and the smell was so pleasant. It's charcoal based incense sticks and made with phthalate-free fine fragrance oil. Sourced from Los Angeles. The scent is Piñon and my new favorite. Jared kindly helped me during my visit. He mentioned that they can customize the dried floral arrangements upon request. They had some beautiful ones already made. I was lucky to have met Kevin, who was working on creating more beautiful pieces of handmade ceramics. I can't wait to see what else he made on my next visit. Overall, I'm so happy to see this small business up and running. Looking forward to coming back soon.

They have so much packed into their corner retail space, and with lots of personality sprinkled everywhere. As we walked by the large windows we were drawn in by this Ceramics and Plant Boutique . . . and with so much more. Thanks to Jared who was very welcoming and helped us navigate the different offerings. Handmade Ceramics (each one a work of art), Art Prints, Woven Baskets, Blankets, Books, Candles of all shapes and sizes, Cards, Garden Supplies, Driftwood pieces, Glassware, and beautiful plants, both Succulents and dried floral arrangements. We found a basket of match books at the register, and realized they are ideal for their offerings of Sage (moving energy out), and Palo Santo (moving energy in). I was instantly drawn to the prints and illustrations by Lady Kady Art of Arizona, and look forward to starting my own collection. And truly a shop with gift ideas for everyone. Was also happy with the reasonable pricing for some incredibly artful items. Located in the El Paseo, and right next to the Grassini Family Vineyards tasting room patio.
