As is current trend, there are lots of Minnesota, Lake Minnetonka, and Excelsior themed items for sale.

Next time you head out west, make sure to stop at the white house with big black letters on Main Street.

I have a marquis diamond that was set in a full bezel on a thick gold band. The diamond didn't…read morereflect light the way it should and the setting made it very difficult to clean the stone. I brought the ring to Ryan and we discussed different options. Ryan has a great software program where I could see different settings and what the ring would look like with additional diamond accents. I chose a half bezel setting with a baguette diamond on each side. The end result was gorgeous. The marquise now sparkles and glistens, and Ryan added two excellent quality baguettes to show it off. And it only took him 2 weeks to complete the job. Ryan is wonderful to work with, and it's obvious he truly enjoys creating beautiful jewelry. Don't hesitate to go talk with him, even if you're not sure exactly what you want. He'll show you so many ideas you'll be more than pleased!

"Ace is the place with the helpful (menswear) folks."…read more Jokes about the neighborhood hardware chain aside, Ace General Store is a wonderful escape that's one part curated mens store and one part home furnishings cottage. Tucked away from the busy Water Street shopping area in downtown Excelsior, Ace carries a fantastic assortment of mens tees, sweatshirts, hats, jewelry, bags and grooming gear. I wish they had a location in Minneapolis proper (the vibe is perfect for the North Loop), but it's worth the drive. This will quickly become my go-to spot for mens gifts because they literally have everything you need to curate a unique gift set: Cool cards? Check. Unique candles? Yep. Affordably priced jewelry and grooming kits? Check and check. On a recent trip in I picked up a great gold bracelet, a locally-made wood storage crate for my dog's toys and a Huckberry tabletop fire pit, all for under $200 total. The bracelet is a great addition to my formal wear, while the fire pit is a nice fit for my small patio (clean burning using Isopropyl alcohol). The storage crate is short and durable, perfect for my dog to easily identify the toys he wants to play with. Service at Ace is excellent - All staff are super knowledgable of the products and will often tell you the artist or brand they're sourced from. I can't recommend them enough. Next time you're in need of a gift for the guy in your life, skip Target and head for Ace General Store!

The young lady at the counter was pleasant and checked on the price of a chain necklace for me that was on a shelf towards the back of the boutique. It was marked at $32. I thought it was a little high, but the neighborhood is also a factor, so understood. There were a nice array of accessories, which I am a fan of. Lots of nice purses, Dooney & Burke, and necklaces and earrings. Fortunately for myself, there were clip-ons as well. I was almost tempted to purchase a pair of yellow square earrings for $12, since I love larger earrings, but did not. I did manage to grab a business card.
