If you love fans, you should visit. If they're sort of interesting and you like tiny museums about…read moresomeone else's passion, why not. Yes, you can probably visit in 15-30 minutes and the hours are very limited. It's a free museum; what do you want? The owner has a collection of 7000 fans, and it's a tiny two room shop. So you're only going to see a few at any given time. Fans from the permanent collection (some with beautiful mother of pearl sticks; many with tiny sequins) are on the walls, mostly in fan-shaped glass display frames (some for sale - warning, they're pricey!). The current exhibit was 2-3 cases of animal-themed fans: there were fans with mice painted on them; fans with a kitten or puppy head on the front (and the back of its head on the back); some lovely butterfly fans; and one case that didn't really fit (a very colorful Chinese fan with a crowd of people with tiny painted ivory faces and glued-on clothes; a gorgeous large gilt-sticked fan with gold cupids). On a narrow table are a variety of modern fans for sale, ranging from plastic spangled Chinese ones for $5 to nicer printed Japanese silk ones ($20) or solid-colored fabric ones from Barcelona for $35. For a quarter, you can buy a copy of "the language of fans" and learn how to hold/point the fan to say "meet me later" or "hey, you're cute". There are postcards /notecards from previous exhibits, and a few thin catalogs. Fan Museum printed shopping bags are $10. The back room includes a large display of American advertising fans (the cardboard giveaway kind on a stick), some of which were surprisingly recent (1980s). Also in the back is a box of vintage fans for sale, in various stages of repair. Many aren't priced. Ask. I was quoted prices that were much less than I expected and was offered the chance to name my own price for a few. These ranged from tiny paper or plastic/celluloid fans to souvenir printed paper fans (Atlanta Olympics!) and some larger ones with bone or wooden sticks and painted leaves. Even a few small feather ones. Some were obviously deaccessioned from the museum and had information noted on a tag. I rented a car and drove an hour to visit. Not sure if I'd do that again; it's a very small museum and there's not much else in Healdsburg. But boy, if I'm ever in the neighborhood again, I'm so there.

So originally maps or something said this place was closed but when we were walking we decided to…read morewalk past and sure enough they were open! Maybe a little expensive for such a small place but it was really cool to check out. You don't see a museum for hand fans just anywhere so it was definitely a must see for us. There were a lot of interesting fans to peruse but once a couple more people came in it got crowded. I would recommend coming here but just know it's a small space.

LOVE this shop!! I passed but it a few times since moving to Marin a few months ago, and it caught…read moremy eye. The other day when I was lunching at Everest Curry House (amazing Nepalese food!!), I decided this is the day I need to go check out Sustainable Exchange. This store is all the good feels. Many natural materials and fabrics, beautiful artisan style soaps sans heavy perfumes or dyes, scrubby brushes for your dishes, face, and body, and just a plethora of great things for your home, or as gifts. I bought two long handled brushes for body scrubbing, some incense, a mushroom cocoa packet, and a face scrubber. And, the gentleman working (maybe the owner?) was so friendly and personable. Will definitely be frequenting this shop!

I was so heartbroken to hear that Solstice Mercantile in Fairfax, my favorite zero waste store, had…read moreclosed :( but Sustainable Exchange is a great solution in its stead. I love that they carry Griffin Remedy products. An all-organic SF-founded company that makes beautiful bath products to fill all my glass jars? Awesome. Their formulations are simply the best. Sustainable Exchange also has an excellent selection of zero waste cleaning tools and an array of cute gifts and local artisanal items. Browsing is like a little adventure because there are so many things to see arranged all over the store. Do you need lip balm? Food? Kaftans? Coconut fibre sponges? Flouride-free toothpaste? Dish soap? Chocolate? Bar soap? Honey? Marin themed things? Essential oils? Honestly if you need something random, it's worth checking to see whether Sustainable Exchange carries the zero waste organic version of it!
