She helped me go through two piles of matchboxes looking for certain states and they ended up having the state/city I was looking for! The store is filled with such interesting items. It feels like a museum in there. Honestly if you are looking for some vintage items I would come here. The prices are also very reasonable as well.

Maria's Customer Service, french fabric selections, vintage antiques and lighting is outstanding…read more Time and time again Deborah and Rita, the daughters of Maria, generously spend much of their unending time advising on just the right selection and and placement of items. The sisters work well together whether it's with home photos or drawings prepared by Rita on the spot. They have a vision that works within the paramaters of your likes, preferences, and comfort zones. Over the past several years, with their mentoring and guidance, I have learned how to coordinate Maria's french fabrics ~ table cloths, french chair pads, chandeliers into our existing decor. Deborah and Rita are very creative and have a very good spatial sense. An example of Deborah's design skill that is viewable in the shop or on-line, is when she folds a rectangular table cloth into thirds and turns it into a runner. Deborah then places a 2nd runner on top creating an illusion of great depth and interest with complimenting fabrics. The china collections of gien, staffordshire, spode, etc. pair up quite nicely with the french fabrics as well as the vintage silverplate trays, ice buckets, silverware, and crystal presentations located throughout the store. Drop in for a custom-made cup of coffee and enjoy the view and graciousness of Deborah and Rita.

This is an amazing place to shop in downtown Palo Alto, and yes, you can find some amazing things…read moreto wear here, even if your summer capsule wardrobe is primarily made up of solid neutrals. Everything that I bought over here this summer is made of 100% cotton in Nepal. I bought some ivory/cream/light beige cotton/linen pants that were so comfortable and flowy. I also bought some pale pink cotton pants - and they feel very neutral in spite of being pastel. I love the "criss cross" opening at the ankles of all the pants that I bought. Very cool! No patterns. Just neutral solid pants. Each pair of pants was about $58 but totally worth it because they're very durable. I wash them on the delicate cycle with just a little bit of gentle detergent, and dry them on a clothes line in the sun (they're dry in less than fifteen minutes). They had lots of white cotton tops; unfortunately none of them were sleeveless or just a wee bit longer sleeves than sleeveless. I'm not a fan of full sleeves in the summer. I made an impulse cashmere shawl purchase on a cold summer night here because it was cold outside and the air-conditioning made the restaurant nearby (Tamarine) feel like the North Pole. It was a neutral ivory/cream color with a super-tiny dark brown herring bone pattern on one side. I like it because if I want a lighter looking shawl, I have the cream or ivory on one side, and if I want a darker looking shawl, I have the dark brown on the other side. A bit spendy at $200 and most definitely not vegan, but I was freezing... I do own a few woolen sweaters and leather shoes, although I really try hard not to buy wool or leather. Cashmere is so, so, so soft and feels so lovely on the skin. Like Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City says about cashmere: it's a cashmiracle! They have some cashmere scarves in neutral solids too. The only downside was that the music was deafening. It made me want to leave the store as soon as possible, instead of staying for hours and trying on some more clothes.

I went from a quick browse to walking in and staying a while. I browsed all the items and loved every inch of this store. It's a perfectly curated space. Every area has been well thought out and has a lot of different items for everyone. I didn't come in thinking I'd leave with anything but ended up finding a birthday gift a beautiful book about the ocean for a kiddo. I also found these tiny boxes that you turn and they play a classical song so that came with me too. I wanted to buy all the cards! I saw a woman walking around and let her know that her space was beautiful curated. She was very kind and I later learned she is the owner. She rung up my order and after asking if she had any wrapping for my book she found some leftover and wrapped up my gift. Gwen was very kind and has taken a lot of consideration on the items she displays at her store. They are beautiful and unique items in this store. I believe the price I paid was worth the unique value. There are signs posted to not take photos of the items inside the store so I couldn't get any while I was there but trust me the space is beautiful and the items one of a kind. I will definitely return and recommend anyone to come visit and find that unique gift for the special people in your life.
