They just opened up in the Bay Area, and they have products I haven't seen before.

Third, we have to have great service, and they have it! Friendly and knowledgeable. The owner is a top-notch stylist and has an eye for the best & is everyones friend, and her team is the same. I jumped straight on IG with a reel. I was so happy with my new finds I definitely recommend a visit

This store has a wide selection of styles, and unfortunately (!), much of it was the sort of classy, well-made jewelry that I love. Maury Woulf, the owner, has an uncanny ability to know what will look good on you. I was wearing no jewelry that day and he knew what color of metal and which colors of gems would look good on me. He chose a few pieces that were spot on. I had a bad case of jewelry want! I found out they could re-string and re-design some of my beaded necklaces. They do repairs. I'll be able to get a lot of pieces fixed and back in circulation. They have new and vintage jewelry and watches. I would trust them with my most treasured pieces. Two thumbs up! Way up!

I visited their studio during the open studio sale. It's in a warehouse area of Oakland, a…read moresomewhat scary part of town. Inside the studio is brimming with elegant stationery, repeated patterns in one color on thick ecru paper. During the open studio sales, items are 50% off. Folded note cards come in different patterns: stripes, polka dots, fruit (e.g., apples, cherries), hearts, bows, animals, flowers, and some seasonal motifs (candy canes, snowflakes, reindeer, gingerbread men). The overall look reminds me of wallpaper (in a good way). I bought the skull & cross bones note cards ($16 for 8 or 50% off at the studio sale). The paper is fairly heavy and smooth to the touch. The images are raised slightly. Each item is hand-printed on antique letterpresses. Envelopes are unadorned. The same designs also appear on place cards, gift enclosures, notebooks, and placemats. My favorite designs are the skull & crossbones, Versailles, and the bows. They could use some more playful designs. Daggers? Cupcakes? Bowls of ramen? They also offer custom work (hand-drawn maps, announcements, invitations) and the examples look stunning: http://www.carrotandstickpress.com/portfolio.htm

I wandered into this little boutique while my brother was getting his eyebrows threaded next door,…read moreand somehow walked out with one of my favorite memories. The moment I stepped inside, I felt the magic of the place. I'd never seen a shop like this with every piece feeling like it had a soul. I collect artistic cards, so of course I gravitated straight toward the displays and picked one out. Important detail: I hate carrying purses. So my cards and cash live chaotically in my pockets. Reckless? Yes. Will do ? Also yes. So when I go to pull out my debit card, my ID shot out like it had somewhere better to be and slipped perfectly under this massive bookcase. I knelt down to assess the situation--an inch-wide slot leading into a dark abyss. Purse: 1. Me: 0. I briefly told the employee what happened explaining why I was all of a sudden on all fours face to face with the ground, completely expecting maybe a shrug. But Instead, he immediately started removing items, trying to shift the entire bookcase, going above and beyond to retrieve my ID. But it was quickly apparent the it was mission impossible to which I fully accepted. But his pure kindness and concern really touched me and we just quickly started talking about the story behind the boutique. Amazing story, and I ended up buying a handmade cup after the fact. And I'd love to say their kindness inspired me to buy a cup, but let's be honest: I bought it because I felt guilty. (...Though I had been eyeing it before my ID made its dramatic escape so I really did want it). Now that cup sits on my bookcase, and every time I see it, I think of how what could've been a gloomy experience turned into one of my sweetest little memories. And yes, I know I'm making this sound more dramatic than it probably was. But 1) you'd remember this shop too if you stepped foot inside, and 2) I do have a history of unintentionally disturbing the peace in small shops, to which my guilt makes it mandatory to make a purchase, only for those "guilt purchases" to become some of my most treasured things.

It's a tiny place but there's a lot of beautiful handmade items in there! They have a wide variety of gifts including paintings, ceramics, clothes, ornaments, jewelry, note cards, and more. Everything is made by folks with developmental disabilities and they have little write-ups about the artists featured. I wasn't planning on getting anything but I ended up walking out with a bowl and notecards for myself and a little baby onesie for my friend's baby. The store attendant was super sweet and helpful in explaining more about the products and the artists.
