Justine, the store owner, was so warm and friendly and kindly told me about some of the hand-spun clothing. I purchased a scarf and two of the most beautiful capes.

The quality of the clothing and the gentle spirit of the owner makes this a lovely place to shop.

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.

I had the essential oil massage, and my body felt relaxed within the first five minutes of smelling the oil. Then her healing touch and kind demeanor were exactly what I needed to recover from all the stress in my body. 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.

We are proud to say that in the last 32 years we have had the pleasure of working with thousands of happy regular customers that make Safari their first stop when they come to Mendocino. It is important to note that Safari has been under new ownership since October of 2015. When you come to Safari these days you will most likely be greeted by myself, the new owner, and hopefully will get as much or as little attention as you would like. I have been a clothing and textile designer for over 45 years and has extensive experience with helping women find clothing that fits perfectly and moves comfortably with their bodies, even ones with major fitting challenges. We are open every day except Mondays when we are available by appointment. We look forward to your visit the next time that you are visiting our lovely little coastal town of Mendocino in Northern California. Blessings, Yarrow Summers

Many thanks to her for being such an excellent ambassador. Also, thanks to her I was able to purchase $577 worth of items due to her patience and advice on everything. She was equally as sweet to everyone who walked in whilst helping me with sizes and suggestions! This store has the most incredible selection of items from clothing to home decor. 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! Wowwweeeee! Even if it takes two hours to get to Erin Keller and a massive bout of car sickness I will be back. Its so worth it

If I could have a sex change for a week just to have an excuse to wear some of this fine-art-as-jewelry, I would. Heck, if I had gobs of cash I just might've done so anyway. This little studio isn't just a home for the proprietor's art - she also showcases amazing jewelry, glasswork, and ceramics from fantastic, locally-based artists. The prices are a bit high here, but let me put it this way: If you want to plonk down several hundred bucks for a fantastic piece of jewelry or art (or fine-art-as-jewelry), do you want to do it Zales, or at an amazing local business where you can watch an artist at work, talk to her directly, and pick out unique, one-of-a-kind pieces painstakingly crafted by local people? MJS wins hands down. Visit their website if you want to see examples of the stunning work they turn out.
