They also offer a great selection of unique gifts and other special items that you can't find at the countless big box stores that have taken over almost everywhere else here now. It's like visiting...Etsy...in person. If such a store existed of course. Obviously only a very very small, and very highly curated BIT of Etsy, but still...it's etsy-esque. In a good way. Well worth a visit. Especially for those "extra hard to shop for" and "already have everything" types. They're also great for the many miscellaneous gift needs that pop up throughout the year for coworkers and teachers and other people you might not know very well and whose gift options fall uncomfortably in between even the classiest target dollar bin options your best friends might love, and the fancier more expensive fare reserved for one's own children, close relatives, spouses... The "I don't really know what, but ideally something special and memorable and cool" gifts for all sorts of things like secret Santas, teacher appreciation, miscellaneous baby/bridal showers, office party exchanges, attempts to gain favor or acceptance from cringey or critical or perfectly lovely mother in laws...etc. This place is perfect for all of those and more. I've found awesome Christmas presents for my mother here two years in a row now, and many fun things for myself as well. Best boutique baby clothes section I've seen in the Arlington area, actually. Oh! And Scout bags galore!

We both loved the quail. It was not too dry and was very meaty. It was fried and had really great flavor. The home fries tasted a lot like seasoned fries you get at other places. They were cooked just perfectly and were a pleasant surprise. I really enjoyed the pineapple upside down cake but the cherry ice cream (my choice) and the added cherry didn't taste very good. They both tasted like cherry flavored medicine. If you get this - go for vanilla as I'm sure it will be a better pairing. The service was okay but we were given some inaccurate information - perhaps because the waitress was in a rush. You should stop in if you can and I hope to get back to try some of their other offerings.

Awesome hand lotions, hair perfumes, Turkish towels (I got a great grape [okay, just plain purple] and pink one that's got teal on the other side -- just beautiful and so soft, ooh, what luxury! Turkish towels are awesome because they take up less space and dry far more quickly than other, thicker towels, so of course they end up both smelling much better and being a lot more hygienic. The orange-scented hand lotion is super-luxe, too, with a rich creamy feel and excellent scent. I got the amber hair perfume. The rugs are really nice, with just enough texture balanced together with softness and sturdiness all together in one piece -- and there is an amazing selection of different colours of these area rugs available, all rolled up nicely in a cool basket. Speaking of baskets, they've got them! The baskets have a real beachy vibe and would be perfect for a day (or a week, or more!) at the beach. They're real sturdy and stand up well on their own, unlike some other floppier baskets or of course beach bags out there .... The baskets are also really good for shopping, too. There are cookbooks, fun cooking and cleaning supplies such as the never-before-seen-by-me ravioli-shaped sponges and oh-so-many things to explore, I wouldn't want to ruin it for you by telling you more! The person I encountered was super-helpful, friendly, nice, accommodating, etc. The parking is plentiful (At least it was when I was there.), and if you like pretty, flowery things, there is also a lovely gardening center just steps away ... plus lots of other stuff nearby to explore in Kensington! Very glad I stopped by! Only thing is: it's closed on Mondays. Oh, and I love the name, too! Olive & Loom -- even the name has texture and beauty in it .... A very 'Yay' type of find, indeed! Just lovely. :-)

And I'm certainly not one to say no to shopping... and Kimi knows me pretty well - so in we went. In this adorable little shop you'll find a bit of everything: From chic baby toys and gear, to Women's athletica, adorable spice recipe kits, dog treats, jewelry, natural deodorant, candles and so much more that I'm forgetting. The store is immaculately designed. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you're in a higher end boutique - but it's also not stuffy at all like some places. It's just highly curated with interesting unique products, and could be the absolute best place for stocking stuffers, small gifts, making a gift basket and also obviously splurging on yourself. I ended up getting some natural dog treats for the pup, and I almost splurged on some fancy balsamic vinegar. This splurge was for the pup, the next time I come in the splurge will be for me lol. Definitely worth stopping in. If you're someone who LOVES getting little treats and surprises for your friends and family this could be the perfect spot. The mix is eclectic and Kimi pointed out that they even sell this soap that was gifted to us for Latinx heritage month as it's a Latin owned soap company. I feel like it's the apothecary David would open if he was a woman.

This is the perfect place to grab a special gift for a friend and reminds me of those cute, indie boutiques that are on every corner in LA. I hope this shop stays around for a long time.

The shop has a set of handcrafted items by young artist as well as teas by an organization called Skirted Soldier - which is a female Veteran Owned company. I cannot wait to try the Cold Weather Gear tea (gingerbread house black tea). This bag of loose tea includes tea bags. Nice touch! I enjoy shopping and supporting local and/or small businesses.

I'm sure the locals know about the place but they don't seem to be sharing it on Yelp (maybe trying to keep it for themselves) LOL. This house contains quite an extensive collection of things from food items, vintage to handmade goods. It's like as if Etsy did a pop-up here. On the ground level, you can find local ice cream, meats from a local farm and other homemade goods like jams and sauces. Browsing in there makes it fun too as the items are displayed in the different rooms throughout. Every corner you turn there is something new! I saw some really beautiful items, some funny ones too.
