I used to come to get honey in the winter because I love honey with lemon hot water as my morning drink. However, I have been starting to get the honey year round to help with my allergies.

I highly recommend joining their rewards program too if you are a honey lover like me.

I hadn't been back in a minute, but definitely missed wandering in and checking out the goodies they have. Worth it for delicious, good quality honey. They also sell various bee related paraphernalia like lotion and candle making things, along with other cute bee candies. Next time I will have to remember to bring a jar to refill. It is a bit cheaper to do it that way.

I suggest you leave your pets and small children at home and have some adult time. Maybe go to lunch and/or wine tasting while you are in the area. Be sure to check out their website for upcoming events. I am looking forward to Christmas in July! Note: The staff is so welcoming and friendly.

We walked around a bit and decided to come back to check it out. My daughter wanted to create her own clay ornament as a gift to her Nonnie which was $15. They give you all of the tools to make your ornament plus paint to decorate it. They even give you a little box to carry it home in plus some at home instructions. It's a very cute idea! You can also paint a tote bag and a pencil case plus a couple of other items. They sell hot cocoa, hot apple cider and even alcohol like Mulled Wine on the weekends. They also sell items inside locally made by Sacramento artists that are eco friendly. They have a nice seating area outside and the women working were very friendly and treated my daughter very sweetly. It's a fun place and I'm glad there is a business like this in Old Sac!

BETTER THAN PORN!…read more My Husband was surprising me with some mysterious activity in Sacramento for my Birthday on April 2nd (a Tues) and upon getting into the car we had the following conversation: Him: So now that we are on our way i guess i can tell you what we are doing. We will be indoors with a lot of bright lights, so it's good that you did your makeup, and look nice. Me: Very puzzled expression. Him: Do you remember that move, "Zach and Miri Make a Porno" and how at the end their business is helping couples create their own studio-quality sex tapes? Me: Yeaaaaah... Him: Well i thought it would be nice, you know to do that, and its a really nice place with only women on set... Me: WTF?! You're kidding, we are absolutely not doing that! No, you're joking...and if you're not you better turn this car around! And he kept acting like this was legitimately his surprise for a another minute and was doing a really convincing job of pretending that he was for real, and thus my anxiety/anger level was increasing until he finally laughs and says, no we are going to a glass blowing class. Oh the relief! Obviously i was a bit mad at the deception but had to laugh at his uncanny ability to say all of that to me with a straight face. Anyways, the ladies of Girl Glass thought this story was hilarious and really wanted to have it said on yelp that this experience was better than porn, and it was! I do know that they made a special exception via emails and phone calls back and forth between them and my husband to arrange this private class for us because it was not a normal day that they would have done it. They even allowed us to go to their house, and we did it in their backyard, just the two of us. My husband and I each made ornaments, and it was a really unique and fun experience that I totally recommend to anyone with any interest in the art of glass blowing. Its mind boggling what they can do and how it works and also very hot!!! Long sleeves highly recommended! They do a demo, and then they guide you through choosing your colors and then actually doing it yourself/assisting in the creation of your very own masterpiece. You don't get to take it home right away but they have various arrangements for getting it once it is ready. Another sweet touch: they had asked my hubby ahead of time if i liked vanilla or chocolate, to which he told them chocolate and then after our ornaments were made they brought out two delicious chocolate cupcakes from a local bakery in honor of my birthday! It was above and beyond to even get them but they were to-die-for good too!!! And so, to the ladies of Girl Glass: I give you five stars and I say thank you for a wonderful memory. I can't wait to see our finished ornaments!

My friend purchased a sign-in book for the ceremony and wanted her husband's name on the front. My friend asked me if I could write it nicely, or if I knew anyone who could. In that instance, you know you should entrust that kind of thing to an expert, and Ana is an expert. She responded very promptly and had questions that put me at ease immediately: what was the book made of? Was it something porous? Going back and forth with a grieving family was slow-going, but Ana was patient and communicative, even with the tight turnaround. She was clear and upfront about what we should expect, and the price for her work was very reasonable. And the finished product was lovelier than I could have imagined. It was thoughtfully placed and even packaged beautifully. My friend loved the book so much and was so happy with the result. The whole experience was so positive and easy that I won't hesitate to add calligraphy to any special events that come along, because of Ana. Thank you Ana, for helping this grieving family!

They offer candles, room sprays, car diffusers, perfume, body butter, and body oil. You can check out their website for the full offerings and keep up on social media for different scent and product releases. I like citrusy, fruity and bright scents and some of my favorites are the Life and Lemons, Weekend Cartoons, and The Thyme. Although there are a lot to love. Chandra, the owner, is really friendly and even offers classes (watch on social media for announcements). You can also bring back your vessels to have them refilled with new wax, which is awesome. This has become one of my favorite local candles and room spray businesses.
