This unique store is not just a retail space but also a beautifully designed coworking area with pop-up shops featuring local vendors such as ceramic artists, vintage shops, and bakeries.

Valerie offers a great selection of stylish Mendocino tees and hoodies elegantly displayed on unique curvy racks at the front of the store. Each of us ended up purchasing a memento to commemorate our visit to Mendocino. We had the pleasure of meeting Alex, the owner, who shared the story of how his vision for the store came to life.

Justine's store is welcoming and full of interesting clothing, as well as other items ranging from lotions to teas. The femmes bought a wide range of items and I found this blue, green and grey hat knit from Susan's hand-carded, hand-spun yarn that is naturally died. Susan's knit work is glorious. The head-wear has drawn a dozen comments from folks since I got it two weeks ago on Dec. 26, during that boxing day shopping tour. I also bought two handcrafted herbal teas that helped me fight a chest cold that struck on the drive up. We visited the store twice during our five-day stay. Stop by and be ready to be enchanted.

What makes her special is that I could tell she has lots of compassion, which comes through in her healing touch. Our conversations were a delight, and I will definitely come back. Also, her clothing boutique is worth checking out! The color palettes and styles are sophisticated -- a million times better than the other clothing stores in town.

But best of all, the prices are downright reasonable. Not at all what I expected in a Bay Area boutique with EXQUISITE merchandise. I got two sweaters, a dress, a brooch and two necklaces!

The staff was very welcoming and helped check on prices of items that needed a ladder. They do charge a 3.5% fee on credit card purchases, so bring cash if you're planning on a bigger purchase.
