Eclectic Amanda is my favorite shop in Bodega Bay. The store is divided in to two locations-the…read moremain store in the upper parking lot right off Highway 1 (near the turn off towards Bodega Headlands Park) and smaller location down in the lower lot. These two little shops are packed full of vintage inspired treasures-everything from decor, to jewelry and little knick knacks to brighten your surroundings. The lady working the shop is very sweet and opened up the second shop for us to browse around in (if she's working alone, she'll switch up her location based on where the customer wants to look.) Many of her treasures are ocean inspired and perfect little souvenir reminders of your trip to Bodega Bay. My purchases included a vintgage design starfish keychain, a seagull patterned scarf and a silver octopus wall hanging that I used to display jewelry. Eclectic Amanda's is charming, affordable and features one-of-a-kind gifts in Bodega Bay.

Sharon, the owner, is originally from England and she is the sweetest person. It was our first time really exploring the area but we didn't do much research so she even gave us a map and highlighted the areas where we might see whales and another area where there are sea lions. Her store is definite stop if you are looking for souvenirs or to buy a special gift for someone who loves the beach. Sharon even wraps it up in a cute little cloth bag!

It's quirkiness is as fun as the variety of flavors they have-to be honest, it was a bit overwhelming. I think I would have driven my wife crazy if I stayed any longer to make my decision. The place is very tiny and a lot is crammed in that small space. The day we came, the person who waited on us wasn't terribly friendly or helpful, BUT...the taffy we bought was delicious and a surprisingly great bargain. I HIGHLY recommend the sour flavors. We were told they are among their most popular and now I know why! I can't think of one flavor we had in our variety sampler that wasn't enjoyable!

There were candles, stickers, shirts, and additional lovely gifts that supports local vendors.

Plus, the scents are always so unique and it feels gratifying to enjoy something so special made with so much love. Thanks Eleanor for sharing your cheer and grace. Happy shopping!

The other day when I was lunching at Everest Curry House (amazing Nepalese food!!), I decided this is the day I need to go check out Sustainable Exchange. This store is all the good feels. Many natural materials and fabrics, beautiful artisan style soaps sans heavy perfumes or dyes, scrubby brushes for your dishes, face, and body, and just a plethora of great things for your home, or as gifts. I bought two long handled brushes for body scrubbing, some incense, a mushroom cocoa packet, and a face scrubber. And, the gentleman working (maybe the owner?) was so friendly and personable. Will definitely be frequenting this shop!

I love that they carry Griffin Remedy products. An all-organic SF-founded company that makes beautiful bath products to fill all my glass jars? Awesome. Their formulations are simply the best. Sustainable Exchange also has an excellent selection of zero waste cleaning tools and an array of cute gifts and local artisanal items. Browsing is like a little adventure because there are so many things to see arranged all over the store. Do you need lip balm? Food? Kaftans? Coconut fibre sponges? Flouride-free toothpaste? Dish soap? Chocolate? Bar soap? Honey? Marin themed things? Essential oils? Honestly if you need something random, it's worth checking to see whether Sustainable Exchange carries the zero waste organic version of it!

Dragonfly is a local treasure!…read more It's a flower farm, full florist, and flower stand. A friend inspired me to stop in recently, to buy some stems from their self-serve flower stand. If there's not a staff member around, it's an honor system: leave cash or pay by Venmo. My (quince, I think) stems were mostly buds and now they've been blooming beautifully for the past 2+ weeks, adding cheer to our space. Excited to see what stems they have when I visit next!

I recently ordered flowers for delivery from Dragonfly Florist in Healdsburg, California…read more The person taking my order was kind and attentive. She promised yellow flowers in the arrangement. I see no yellow flowers (see pic). I emailed Dragonfly to express my dissatisfaction with the cost and composition of the arrangement. This reply from Carlisle: "Hi Janice, We appreciate your order and feedback. We take great pride in our work, our team and the relationships with other local businesses we support. Sometimes this comes at a slighter higher cost for this quality of materials and labor. We are sorry you are disappointed. It is rare for us to get a message like this. It sounds like the other florist would be a better fit for you moving forward. Good luck to you! Carlisle and the Dragonfly Floral Team" Based upon the reply above, Dragonfly Floral will not enjoy my patronage in the future. I also sent a follow-up email reply specifically to the business owner, prior to posting this promised review. No further communication(s) received from Dragonfly to date. I will also post a pic (with a blue ribbon) showing an arrangement from a different, significantly less expensive florist for comparison, as I did in my email to Dragonfly Florist. I hope this review is helpful to others in avoiding costly, disappointing floral experiences in Healdsburg, California.
