Great gifts with a local touch, and proceeds go back to the neighborhood and local artists. Shirley is a gem who will help you find the right thing and does the best gift wrapping.
The colorful selection of initial pillows, forget-me-knot rings and Bourbon perfume oil means you never have to give another boring housewarming (or hostess, or just-because) gift again.
Yay! Finally a place to get nice stationery in the neighborhood!
Awesome spot for gift shopping or simply for a visit. They have a back garden full of sunshine and succulent plants

They always have rotating inventory, so there is always something new.
