As we were leaving the Brick-n-Barn event we saw the sign for this shop. It piqued our interest so…read morewe decided to explore since we felt our adventure was far from over. As we drove up, the artfully arranged front exterior beckoned us to discover the treasures awaiting within. We entered and we were in awe. It was beautifully decorated; we did not know where to direct our attention! Everything was tastefully arranged and priced reasonably. There were more items in the back and outside to the rear of the building. We met and chatted with Irma and Trish. They were so sweet and friendly. You can expect superb customer service from them. They're only open once a month since they do have full-time jobs. Irma used to sell out of her house! It's easy to tell the love and attention she readily gives to this absolutely gorgeous shop! Both Irma & Trish love what they do. We had so much fun speaking with them as they were so exuberant! They sold all sorts of Christmas decor, the variety was amazing! I bought some vintage ornaments for my grandson's tree and snowman decor for me. There were so many things I wish I could buy but I live in such a small house with no place to display these treasures. My friend and I had a nice experience here and can't wait to return!

All were returned. Did a search and found Love Light & Energy. After a quick drive there from Escondido and one wrong bumpy road ( more on that later, we entered Terry's wonderland. We told her what we were looking for and she quickly led us through her crystal jungle. I never knew there were so many types of moonstone. After about 45 minutes, we had what we needed. We will be back. WARNING: the map program took us to the wrong road. She said this happens often and has been unable to correct it. The turn into the shops is just to the south of where the problem told us to make. We ended up on a very bad road. There is a small white sign at the driveway.

I did struggle on this visit because I felt that the food festival could have been better. I stress that I love this place and enjoyed the music. I often buy nuts, candy or fudge there.

It is located in Valley Center, so be prepared for your trek. I always go with plenty of snacks, food and water. Having celiac means the food tents will not have options for any food restrictions, but maybe if you're lucky you can get a lemonade for $13 or something. Be prepared to shell out exorbitant amounts for any purchases. The pumpkin patch is a great place to get fall pictures, but the prices are wild. The rides are about $5 each for a minute or two. The bounce obstacle course was $5 for three times running through. It was unreasonable. The gift shop sold the cheapest temu crappy toys for $20!! Buy you're own toys at Walmart and bring them with you to keep the kids happy. I can buy junk on my own. The nuts and candy and dried fruits are probably the only thing I am ok with buying. It's about the price of Sprouts or Whole Foods. I'll usually buy my kiddo a treat and steer him away from the insanity of the price tags of the crappy toys and we're good to go. I buy my pumpkins at target though.

I usually come here when I need a thank gift for a hostess, birthday gift, or just a because gift. I always find something for myself too! I find mostly find the pricing to be very reasonable. They also have a small selection of sweet treats. And on this visit I found they carry now a small collection of old school candy! I have purchased jewelry, clothing, Knick knacks, magnets, living plants, garden flags, purses/wallets. Oh, and they have greeting cards to add to the gift you are purchasing. They also keep the guys in mind if you need something for the male figure in your life. It's a quaint shop but plenty to look at without it feeling crowded in the store. This business is in a strip mall. The parking lot fills up at times, but there is plenty of parking. What is a plus is the staff will usually ask if your purchase is a gift and if so they can gift bag your purchase in a snap. Please support this small business if in the area. I know I will be back. They are always on top of seasonal and holiday themes, check them out during these times too!

It's the cutest store that sells items from several different people that rent space inside. It has tons of items from antiques, to Furniture, to clothing, to nostalgic candy and everything in between. It's especially nice to go during the holidays, as they have tons of great items for gifting, or decorating. Some of the booths will have sales on their items as well. I've done several articles of clothing from here that I really loved. There is plenty of street parking around, and you can walk to other stores and restaurants just a ways down the street. They have frequent star events where they will offer treats and drinks as well. Check this place out first your holiday shopping, or just all year round.
