Ever found yourself wishing things were simpler? Like, what if you could find a nice set of nesting bowls and some roller-skate-shaped bookends all in one place? Look no further than this hip and eclectic home decor boutique.
With a carefully edited mix of swimwear, jewelry, and vintage housewares, owner Stephanie Addis has created a stylish shrine to her home state (and the perfect place to find nonkitschy, California-made gifts).
Slow and steady wins the race, Japanese style. Classes, art shows, and a bevy of imported goods from both new- and old-world craftsmen mean you’re in store for quite the culture shop.

In a word? Eggcellent. Scramble for Scandinavian dinnerware, sleek barware by Mangold, friendly Stokke bedding for kids, and excellent gifts like Voluspa fig candles and Orla Kiely cosmetic bags.
Inside the two-story apartment-like shop, a charming mix of vintage and antique finds make nice with the thoroughly modern world.
