I didn't feel pressured to purchase and the lady working was so nice. My son is in a very serious rock and gem phase. He examines everything top to bottom and asked a hundred questions. The gal working knew every rock and where each was sourced and was so knowledgeable and sweet with my kiddo. Everything was nice quality and they had some nice things. We ended up with a few bracelets and a bit polished rock for my kiddo. I'm sure we'll be back for more.

This review is for the 'Mother's Day Weekend Art, Garden & Studio Tour' which is hosted by the San…read moreDieguito Art Guild/Off Track Gallery. I hope this review helps someone who is thinking about doing the tour. My mom and I enjoyed a wonderful day out touring 8 home gardens in the Encinitas area (2026). (A couple of the homes were in Carlsbad and one was in Olivenheim, the remainder were in Encinitas). I purchased the tickets on-line prior to the tour and showed the e-mail at the first house stop, where we received a color printed booklet that would be our ticket for the remainder of the tour. The booklet had a description and photo of each house, along with ads for the artists. You also have the option to pick up your booklet at the Off Track Gallery in Encinitas. The drive between some houses was a couple of minutes, and as much as about 8 minutes for others. This is where your GPS comes in handy! You can follow the order suggested in the booklet. I had studied the map before arrival and slightly adjusted the order for our convenience. Curb parking was always easy. Many of the houses featured pools. Some had art studios. One had chickens and goats. Another had some garden art and a photo opportunity. Some had views to die for. All of them featured a variety of plants, trees, flowers, succulents, cacti, shrubs, along with art vendors selling their wares and a table of finger foods. The variety of art ranged from jewelry, paintings and ceramics to mosaics, photography and fabric arts. Prices started at about $10 and went up into the hundreds and everything in between. All the talented vendors were very friendly and welcoming, although we felt bad when we walked away without buying something. We also met a couple of the house owners who were interesting to talk to. The complimentary food included fruit, crackers and cheese, cookies, cake, chips, hummus, water, lemonade and more. It was lovely to graze the food and sit for a bit and enjoy the surroundings. The home gardens were open between 10am and 4pm. We started at 10am and finished about 3:15pm. This included one house that permitted us to also see the interior, which was a pleasant surprise. We also stopped at a local grocery store to use the restroom as only one home had an available restroom for use. I highly recommend this tour if you get a chance. It's a unique way to spend Mother's Day weekend and you may see parts of San Diego that you've never seen before. It was definitely an eye opener to 'How the other half live'! You do quite a bit of walking and 'in and out of the car', so by the end you're quite tired, but my 78 year old mom did it! Be sure to wear comfy shoes and sun protection. Some areas of the gardens do offer shade, but not all. The photos attached are from the 2026 tour. I understand the homes change each year. We hope to visit the Off Track Gallery at a later date as it was closed by the time we got there after the tour, but we could see wonderful creations through the window. Helpful?

I've always been skeptical of crystals, but after talking to a coworker about my experiences she recommended I look into a "black stone" she placed in the main corners of her apartment to ward off negative energy. I had plans to do some work in Del Mar at a coffee shop later that day and was telling my boyfriend that I wanted to get over my skepticism and give crystals a try, and therefore needed to look into some sort of shop that sells them - until I stumbled upon this shop kind of tucked away that I normally wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't been so into understanding the whole crystal thing. It's funny because I'm also never in Del Mar and had just been talking about my nocturnal experiences that led me to considering crystals lol. Anyways, I decided to go in and I explained to Sibel and Laurie what I was experiencing, what my intentions were, and asked where to start, and they were so helpful and sweet and recommended black tourmaline (which I was told to hold each piece they had in my hands to decide what "feels" right) for the four corners of my room/under my pillow. I left with a chunk of the tourmaline and a small bloodstone, and everything was so reasonably priced and I had such a great experience that I will be coming back in the future :) wish me luck on my crystal journey!!

I last minute parked in front of this business as I got stressed out from the hustle bustle and traffic. There were signs saying that they tow if you don't go into the few businesses right there, but I was in my car still (never got out) and was in the process of moving. Very trafficky and stressful. I was trying to find other street parking on my map's and then was met with a loud knock on my car window telling me to move if I wasn't coming into the store rudely and honestly really passive aggressively. Almost all of the spots were open there too. Honestly makes me not even want to go into the store now. I understand not being able to park there because it's for the businesses, but I do think it could have been handled better.
