This is home to a bunch of beautiful, locally made/sourced trinkets for you and your loved ones to enjoy. Everything is reasonably priced as well. The workers were warm and welcoming and can't forget to mention the store's fur baby, Ozzie, who greets you upon entering. What a lovely place overall. I highly encourage you to visit this place and bring something back home as a keepsake. Cannot wait to wear the jewelry and utilize the kitchenware I purchased!

When my husband brought me there 13 years ago, I too fell in love. The mix of unique clothing and insanely beautiful glassware/art pieces - just awesome. We have 4 beautiful bowls with are works of art (upcycled materials no less)! The clothing is unique boutique style and she might not have a ton of sizes at any given time, but most of the clothing has a very flowy feel, so you can check out sizes as she does have a dressing room! Carole is truly wonderful and so helpful - she gift wrapped our most recent purchases with the most lovely bows and care, we feel so lucky they are still there and look forward to our next visits! There's a lovely selection of jewelry, scarves, lots of different bowls and platters and cups - bring your Christmas shopping list for unique, incredibly beautiful works of art that are affordable and really high quality!

Me and my household have an alternate name for this business: Old Scratched Release Video…read more About a 5th or so of the DVD's we rent need to be brought back because they skip and won't play through a scratch, making you miss a chunk of the movie. Also, the movie selection is not great -- or at least, the have "new releases" up on the wall for an EPIC amount of time. Also, on the old release shelves, they will have like 4 of the same dvd's of some obscure non-hit movie taking up space. Some of the time, it is questionable if the DVD's are "legit" or if they are somehow copied or something. BUT -- we tend to really like the employees there. Friendly, down-to-earth. So I really appreciate that. This is not meant to be a mean spirited review -- the place honestly needs to make some changes.

Sometimes they don't have a movie I want to rent, but their staff is always willing to stop what they are doing to help you search or, at your request, to suggest another movie you might like. In the age of instant streaming, this store should be out of business, but because of their excellent staff, their fair pricing deals, and healthy inventory they are doing well. I hope they continue to thrive!

Today, while waiting for my wife to try on clothes, my niece and I watched a 2:00 YouTube video to pass the time. We're the only people in the store.

It's a very small town with minimal stores, but you tend to be able to find most things you need. Whatever can't be found at the 2 grocery stores can probably be found here. It's a small family shop with pretty much anything you'd need for some outdoor activities. Of course Gualala prices are more expensive than most other cities, but it makes sense since it's a small coastal town. It's better to pack whatever you want to do, but this spot is always a good backup for the things you might have forgotten. They also have a lot of souvenirs which I'm sure make up a lot of the business. They've always had anything from hoodies or shirts, all the way to shot glasses and keychains. If you want a souvenir, or anything sport related, this is the spot you'd go. Service that I've experienced has been friendly and welcoming.
