This used to be in a much smaller location nearby. I thought that they had gone out of business,…read moreas when we were in town previously their space was emptied out. Hadn't realized that they'd expanded, added in vintage dealer spaces, and moved to a new place. Luckily, I found them online and realized that they had a new location. Dear Hubby and I had been staying in nearby Santa Maria and decided to drop in on our way south. It was worth the trip. I like that they have such a great variety of merchandise. The main front room is mostly spaces for local crafters / artisans with new or newer goods. Moving toward the back and side rooms, there are many booths for dealers with vintage / antique items. It's a browsers paradise! Couldn't resist picking up a sparkly pair of earrings, a "Farmhouse"-logo pillow, and some small succulents for a great price. Most everything seems fairly priced, actually. The woman minding the store (owner, perhaps?) was very friendly and helpful as we rounded up our purchases. I did ask about Mike's Birdhouses, which was one of the reasons that we'd stopped by. We'd previously purchased several of his charming rustic creations and were looking for more. Mike also operates a shop with model train supplies, but is only open a couple of days mid-week. The woman told us that she's reached out to him a number of times about him bringing in some of his birdhouses, but he hasn't made it happen yet. Still, it was enjoyable to see the different displays of goods. A lot of emphasis on Valentine's Day, which is coming soon. I'm sure they'll dive headfirst into Spring/Easter soon thereafter. Definitely worth a visit when you're in the area.

We shopped at Pebble People the last time we visited Solvang. My kids bought me my first cuckoo…read moreclock here for Mother's Day and it was a wonderful experience. At this visit I was looking for a delicate sterling silver ring that our daughter has been searching for. I was surprised to find it and took a picture to send to her. In doing that I also took a picture of the wall of clocks, since it was nostalgic to our last visit. My husband then told me about the No Videos/Photos signs (sorry!). Our daughter texted back saying it was the ring she wanted. A staff member happened to come up at that moment who asked if I needed any help. She opened the case, but the ring was too big. She was so kind to look through the other sizes with me, but they didn't have more. We then walked around admiring all the collectibles and the wonderful details of the wooden German clocks. We plan to come back when our daughter visits in the Spring. Hopefully they will have her size then.

The shop has tons of things to make your craft unique from paint to stickers, Pom Pom, ribbons etc. There were lots of different types of items to adorn and one chose a lightening bolt and the other a wiggly snake.

This little unsung shop is one of the wife and I's faves when we visit Solvang. I will agree with…read morethe last reviewer in that the shop's inventory is a bit scattershot... but that's part of the fun of it! They have a great selection of Danish/Solvang Related souveniers, yes.. but they also have a cool selection of Dragon/Faerie/Fantasy Figurines, ornamental knives/swords; a nice selection of Black Forest Cuckoo Clocks and all sorts of other things. The prices are surprisingly reasonable, too! My only main complaint is that there's a lot packed into the small shop, so getting around the shop without breaking anything when there's more than a few people in there is a bit of a challenge. The store owner is also quite nice! Give it a visit! I'm sure you'll find a lovely trinket or treasure to remember your Solvang visit by!

If it weren't for the timing, I wouldn't have come into the store. The selection of things didn't make any sense. There were Danish souvenirs and then samurai swords.
