My bestie and I were spelunking around La Conner on a recent weekday and happened upon this sweet…read morenew little boutique right in the heart of town. Part clothing boutique, part jewelry store, and part import shop, there is something for everyone here and in every price range. I found a great little gift for my daughter this Christmas, at under $20. They also had some gorgeous sweaters and other garments that were very fairly priced. We were also intrigued by their wonderfully scented, handmade soaps; local made jewelry and crafts; and even some of the larger furniture pieces they had for sale. The service was super friendly and helpful, too. I will definitely add this cute little eco-friendly shop to my La Conner rotation!

They took part in the 2016 Great NW Glass Quest and this is how we found this cute shop. We had a wonderful time chatting with the owner, Ellen, she was very generous with her time and made sure everyone who walked through the doors felt like they had a personal shopper with them. It was nice to see such great customer service and a wonderfully clean and tidy little shop. When in Stanwood, don't miss stopping in and talking to Ellen and of course visiting the shop dog, Maddy, she's a sweetheart.

I stopped in to The Book Rack today and decided to have a light snack at the Cafe inside…read more I chose the Mushroom and Olive flatbread and Autumn Heat tea. The flatbread was nice and crispy with a good flavor for something pre-made and just needed to be heated. But the highlight of my visit was the Autumn Heat tea. The "Heat" refers to the spice level (one of the ingredients is Hot Honey), you can choose for it to be served hot or cold. I chose to have it served hot. I really enjoy spicy food and drinks. This tea was very spicy! If you enjoy spicy foods you should give this one a try. Otherwise, I recommend you pass on this one! As normal, the staff are very friendly, knowledgeable about what they sell, and polite. Always a pleasure to shop at The Book Rack.

From books to clothing to toys to craft supplies (just to name a few) they likely have it here! The displays were very well organized and it was easy to find things, although there didn't seem to be a lot in any particular category. It was still fun to look around and see what they had. I was most interested in any fabric or craft supplies. There wasn't anything I couldn't live without, though I was definitely tempted by a gigantic knitting needle. While I hunted for crafts, the dude pored through their book section. And while we left without buying anything, I could definitely see adding this to our thrifting rotation when we're in the area.

So, even though it's a bit off the beaten path, Calico Creations has become a place I can rely on to grab the perfect fabric for my latest project. So I try to stop there when I'm passing near (or through) MV. They carry all of the major designers and latest lines. From modern prints by Tula Pink and Kaffe Fassett to more traditional calicos and Civil War style fabrics, you will find it here. Not to mention they have an extensive collection of solids and blender fabrics, baby fabrics, pattern books and even some pre-cuts (not many, but I'll take it). Not in a sewing mood? Find inspo from their ever-rotating samples adorning their windows and walls. On a budget? They have an impressive (and huge) sale area in the back, where fabric is $10/yard (or lower). My only criticism is their small space. They could easily fill a shop twice the size, and as a result many MANY of their bolts are sitting on the floor. They try to keep it organized, and do a pretty good job, but it bears mentioning you'll need to "file" through bolts on the floor that aren't as easy to view as the ones on the shelves.
