He took the time to understand our budget and return to us with a quote with multiple options (to fit within our budget). I would definitely recommend working with PK if you're ever shopping for any custom made jewelry.

I cannot thank Christy enough for the incredible work she did on my wedding dress. From start to…read morefinish, she was thoughtful, creative, and so skilled. She not only hemmed my dress perfectly and added delicate beading, but she also completely transformed the back by designing a stunning corset and a beaded clasp at the top of the dress that matched seamlessly with the original details of the gown. She also added more beading at the front as I wasn't a fan of cleavage. Back story: I was originally supposed to wear the dress in 2020 for a Disney wedding. However, we all know what happened in 2020. We decided we would do a 5 year vow renewal but when the time came and two children later... I no longer fit into the original dress. I still loved the dress and wanted to make it work so I decided to see Christy and see if alterations could be made so I could wear it! At first I was hesitant of the pricing as the alterations were more than the dress itself. However, you're paying for the quality of the work. I had alterations made in 2019 and they weren't to Christy's standard. She actually spent time fixing those alterations as measurements were off. Her eye for detail and craftsmanship are unmatched--everything looked like it had always been part of the dress. Thanks to her, my gown fit like a dream and felt uniquely mine. I received so many compliments, and I truly felt beautiful on my wedding day. If you are looking for someone who is talented, professional, and dedicated to making your vision come to life, I highly recommend Christy. She went above and beyond, and I'm so grateful for her work! I've attached the before and after pictures as reference.

The coat is the fully lined, is warm, and very comfortable. She puts her love into her pieces and my new piece is hand-dyed with many beautiful little details. I really look forward to seeing what Christy will create next and I know I will be a long-time customer. On a personal note, I had a really nice conversation with her today and her love for what she does comes through her eyes when she saw the coat fit me so well. She not only a great designer, but she's a nice person. She cares about her clients and her pieces, and wants to make her clients love what they are wearing. Thank you Christy for a great conversation and sharing your passion with me today! I will always recommend you to others and will continue to shop locally!

Federico took us to several beautiful spots around the bay, including one where we spotted seals lounging and even a bald eagle perched nearby. Later, we were lucky enough to see a sea lion surface right beside us - such a cool moment! We happened to be the only two on the tour, which made the experience feel even more special. Federico was a fantastic guide - knowledgeable, attentive, and easygoing, with a great sense of humor. He kept a comfortable pace throughout and made sure we felt warm, safe, and supported the entire time. Peaceful water (well, we were lucky for that!), incredible wildlife, and a guide who really cares - what more could you ask for? The boats we were in were high quality and the shop is top tier. The people who work at this organization are extremely skilled kayakers who are dedicated to helping the kayak community. The shop has kayak skills courses as well and is dedicated to promoting excellent kayaking. If you're considering a kayak tour in the area or upping your kayak skills, I can't recommend Ocean River Sports enough.

We ended up doing a two hour rental with a tandem kayak from Ocean River Adventures. Getting there was a short ten minute walk from our hotel. The entire rental process was very quick and easy and their rental equipment is very good. It was a good value for the equipment and time we got to use the kayak. The kayak tracked beautifully in the water and we had a wonderful time cruising around the harbor for a couple hours. We even had a seal that popped its head out of the water about 20 feet in front of us! Lee (I believe he is the owner) and Wesley were a delight to deal with. I would highly recommend this company.

Upon entering the shop, I am greeted in a friendly manner and offered a quick introduction about the boutique. Featuring local and international artists, who make unique and individualized jewelry from necklaces to broches to rings to bags. At that time, there was a collection of necklaces featuring endangered plants. Placed elegantly in well-cleaned glass cases, I was able to read about the endangered plant and admiring the skills of the created pieces. On the next display, there were trending pieces from an international place (I forgot where) of these black flat, foam like necklaces. Light as air, and when placed on the wearer, it appeared to look like a tattoo. Really interesting pieces! Other displays featured, wishbone necklaces to aboriginal-like jewelry to canvas/wool bags to abstract rings. At the back of the store, there is an area from which an artist is found making jewelry on the spot! I also learned that they are able to make custom pieces for you, but I'm not sure how much. A really nice and trendy boutique. After leaving the store, I checked-in and realized there was a check-in offer of a Free Jewelry Cleaning. With that, I will definitely be returning and to see what other artist's jewelry they are featuring.
