There's also a pretty nice selection of cute hippie-ish jewelry too. There's also some items that seem a little counter to the eco/environmentally-friendly theme that the store seems to be cultivating. For example some mass produced wallet-type items and fast fashion gloves. They're cute, but felt a little out of place with the natural body products, pot paraphernalia, and bulk spices/herbs. Overall, we like this shop and almost always pop in when we're in the Davis/Thomas/Oakland area for outdoor sports.

So after walking around the downtown area(which is small and quaint) and visiting several of the different specialty shops, local restaurants, cafes, and all of the antique/thrift stores(from whom we purchased a wide variety of new and old books from). I was stoked to see this place after not being in Downtown Oakland since my daughters mothers brother lived right up the street from this place. I know, I know. Haha :) First off, the exterior is very alluring and draws you in and that's what made me and my friend want to enter, look around and purchase as many books as possible because we both love a good bookstore and reading. Though that wouldn't be the case because when I opened the door for us to walk into this establishment we were met at the door by a super rude lady who said we weren't allowed to enter the business unless we had on masks, but not a single business in Oakland had this policy except them. Smh! Welp... You lost my money.

Watching them was neat, but a little disappointing. Most of them just picked up some glass, heated it, placed it in mold, then maybe fiddled with it by hand for another minute or two, and it was done. I guess I was expecting more artistry. And then to walk back into the store and see those same pieces that they made in 5 minutes selling for $85-$250! Wow. I would have loved to have bought a souvenir or gift for a friend, but apparently I'm not their target demographic. LOL
