PROS: - Located in…read moredowntown Idyllwild. - They carried interesting things. - I think they carry live bait here. We saw a small little fridge, but couldn't see anything inside. CONS: - The dude behind the counter didn't even look at us, acknowledge us, or didn't say a word to us. Not sure why people keep saying that the staff here are friendly. Got the feeling that they didn't like Asians in their store.

Such a cute store in Idyllwild and walked away with some goodies! I was looking for some summer…read moredresses and caught a glimpse of some cute dresses from their front door. The shop is absolutely darling and well curated for all ages. The store is laid out extremely well that you can see alot and navigate all of the gems inside with ease. Not overly cluttered with goods but a really impressive amount of items at the same time. The name is fitting and feels very feminine and girly. I love that they have a variety of dresses, pants, tops, accessories, jewelry you name it. The owner was so sweet and very helpful. Customer service was a 10/10. She helped set up a fitting room for me and even brought alternative items for me to look at and try on when one dress didn't work for me. Seriously such a sweet and lovely woman, love supporting local when the staff/owners appreciate the tourists coming through. Prices were fair and some items were discounted which was nice. I snagged a kimono which was beautiful black and sheer with cherry blossoms and cranes. I total steel of a deal too! When in Idyllwild you definitely need to check out Prairie Dove as she has the cutest stuff and it did get us out of the summer heat for a little bit :)

Upon entering you don't know where to look first. So many little niches of various items, styles, colors, accessories and Phyllis has them sectioned off into little themes- like one area specializes in ladylike Victorian under things and nightgowns. Phyllis is the proprietor/buyer and has an eye for unique, stylish, creative and eye-catching fashion. Everything from butter soft jeans to sandals, hats, blouses, dresses, jumpers, jewelry, mix-n-match flattering designs, all displayed in a comfortable setting where you can shop in peace, two fitting rooms with comfy chairs for your spouses / friends to sit when you emerge to ask their opinion. I loved the jeans Phyllis chose- white, soft, not overly clingy but comfortably so, and she suggested other colors which I had to buy because I knew I would regret it, especially with the friendly price tags. It was so much fun to shop there! Thank you Phyllis for all your great suggestions, kind words and being the perfect beautiful gracious brand of Idyllwild!

Something about my own personal experience with energy drew me to have a chat with Jen. By all accounts I was lost, and she helped me understand energy and chakras and did an energy profile on me which was enlightening. She recommended we do the womb cleansing session as a result of what was going on and the chakras I'd needed assistance with, and again I wasn't sure what to expect. What I thought would happen was not what happened, but what did happen was so much more meaningful and honestly exactly what I didn't even know I needed. I feel so much better in so many ways after leaving. If you're considering doing something like this, make sure to go in with an open mind and an open heart and let Jen take the reins. Put your full faith into her and into the universe. You won't regret it. Thank you, Jen- I will be back soon.
