I love the glasswork and the jewelry and I'm always good for a purchase or two of those but I also love the pottery and paintings, the woodwork and all the other amazingly creative creations they've got on display. I wish I could buy them all. These folks do such great work and I would encourage ANYONE to stop in and take a look. The new location is just a block down at 1015 State and is actually even nice than the previous one IMO.

On a cloudy Sunday morning, I stumbled upon Santa Barbara Arts and Craft Show on Cabrillo…read moreBoulevard. The show starts just after the boardwalk and lines the Cabrillo Blvd. I learned that this show is every Sunday from 10:00am-6:00pm. The show features arts and crafts including paintings, sculptures, jewelry, pottery and more. It was a delight to talk to the artist about their work in a very causal setting. Truly some unique pieces of art can be found at this show. Definitely worth a stroll if you are in town and heading to the beach. Parking can be found on Cabrillo Blvd or in the public parking areas. Note summertime can be very busy and tough for parking.

The employee then proceeded to tell her there is the self check out you can use that, the woman told her I don't know how to use those, the employee just literally walked away!! I stepped in to try to help her but of course had an issue with the order so finally the male employee came over after I stated to him that their policy is ridiculous The poor woman kept saying to me I am so sorry you have to help me, I WILL NO LONGER SUPPORT THIS STORE!!! If you don't want to provide service, CLOSE YOUR DOORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Located steps away from State Street and next door to Grassini Winery. You can expect to find gorgeous handmade ceramics, plants, art, decor, dried flowers and more! I ended up purchasing some incense, a beautiful ceramic vase, and a small box of matches with Frida on it. The incense was burning in the store, and the smell was so pleasant. It's charcoal based incense sticks and made with phthalate-free fine fragrance oil. Sourced from Los Angeles. The scent is Piñon and my new favorite. Jared kindly helped me during my visit. He mentioned that they can customize the dried floral arrangements upon request. They had some beautiful ones already made. I was lucky to have met Kevin, who was working on creating more beautiful pieces of handmade ceramics. I can't wait to see what else he made on my next visit. Overall, I'm so happy to see this small business up and running. Looking forward to coming back soon.

After seeing their first Yelp Review online (thanks Angela R for your words and photos), I knew I…read morehad to visit this new shop in the El Paseo. They have so much packed into their corner retail space, and with lots of personality sprinkled everywhere. As we walked by the large windows we were drawn in by this Ceramics and Plant Boutique . . . and with so much more. Thanks to Jared who was very welcoming and helped us navigate the different offerings. Handmade Ceramics (each one a work of art), Art Prints, Woven Baskets, Blankets, Books, Candles of all shapes and sizes, Cards, Garden Supplies, Driftwood pieces, Glassware, and beautiful plants, both Succulents and dried floral arrangements. We found a basket of match books at the register, and realized they are ideal for their offerings of Sage (moving energy out), and Palo Santo (moving energy in). I was instantly drawn to the prints and illustrations by Lady Kady Art of Arizona, and look forward to starting my own collection. And truly a shop with gift ideas for everyone. Was also happy with the reasonable pricing for some incredibly artful items. Located in the El Paseo, and right next to the Grassini Family Vineyards tasting room patio.
