What a cute store of vintage items. I’ve been in before and the shop owner is very sweet and helpful. The store is so tastefully decorated and pretty. Nothing looks ‘old’ just new and repurposed. artsy. fun. eclectic. hip. creative. You know he special I’m talking about? handmade paper flower bouquets for Valentine’s kind of special. Positive affirmations and quotes are strategically placed through out the store and I especially love the scrabble pieces that spell out beautiful.
There must be a back room or office because when I popped in a guy appeared welcomed me and then sized me up as a browser and disappeared. That was fine, it was totally true I was just looking. While I didn’t find anything that I couldn’t live without, I’m always on the hunt for unique gifts and they can be found at The Wish List.
Recommend shopping here :-)

I was on my way down south to meet friends for dinner, and had a few hours to check out some vintage shops along the way. Everything about this little shop is quaint. The proprietress is very pleasant, the shop has a broad range of items, and the prices are very, very reasonable. As I was leaving, she gave me a tiny gift wrapped box; inside was a coupon off my next purchase. Even if I didn’t have the coupon, I would still come back to this lovely place.

This is a great little shop in the heart of Carlsbad Village. My wife makes me stop in every time we are in town. The stuff changes a lot and and there is something for everyone! See you next time we are in town!

What a cute shop! I walked in randomly and was certainly impressed. Perfect for those of you who are planning a wedding and need that certain «something» to make it all come together. They have signs, paper bouquets, and even scrabble letter signs! Whats best, they have reasonable prices. Cant ask for a better shop. Oh! wait, the owner is pretty awesome too! Certainly sending the hubby there for Christmas shopping ;)

I wandered in on my way out of the bank and was pleasantly surprised. Adorable vintage shop. I found cute little gifts for my son’s teachers at good prices. The owner is very sweet and helpful. Glad I found this gem!

I’m so in love with this perfectly appointed little shop. The owners are super friendly and genuinely passionate about their unusual and beautiful vintage finds. My favorite thing in there (this week :) is the collection of vintage horse show ribbons — rad!
