I LOVE Shelby's Garden! A few years ago a dear friend got me some beautiful yet minimal bracelets from here and I have since purchased many other pieces, really unique stuff and reasonable price, don't think I paid more than $30 for a piece. Was wandering in here a few weeks ago needed some retail therapy, and decided to smell their scent selection, smelled this Capri Blue Volcano hand lotion and went to heaven. The smell immediately comforted me, seemed so familiar but I couldn't quite place it. I go home to research (I thought maybe it was the scent of one of my Vegas cainos and thats why i recognized it lol!) and of course - it's the scent Anthropolgie uses in their stores! Addicting and a known universally accepted scent! To the point where a man stopped me on Laurel and said "Ma'am I'm sorry if this comes off wrong but you smell AMAZING" =) (fun fact for single ladies: based on research men really like citrus or vanilla/pumpkin yes pumpkin scents on women and this is mostly citrus with light floral base notes! Isnt that something...). I asked my husband how he Iiked this because he's never been in an Anthropologie or to Shelby's and he applied like 3x to his hands and sat there sniffing them like Molly Shannon in Superstar. What a fun cute store to browse there is all sorts of stuff the owner must hand-pick everything because it's so charming and there is always something new/fun/pretty/cute to buy!

Really cute store, and the shop worker unhooked the rope so we could easily walk to the next store over after we were done shopping. They have quite a few shirts, post cards, trinkets, magnets, and books to choose from here. It's a small shop but what they offer is really nice stuff. It's very clean inside and easy to look around. We only wound up buying a post card, but it was one I hadn't seen in any other shops we went to and I'm very happy with it.

The outside window decor draws you in --this time it was big stuffed animals in a Christmas theme, and then you go in and see the intricately decorated Christmas trees and wreaths. There is some jewelry that is good for gifts, though I have seen similar for cheaper. If money isn't really and object you can probably find gifts and decor for any occasion. There is a sort of Santa's corner in the back--or at least it had a Santa item in the back, displayed very nicely with other items. Fun place to shop.

I’ve been visiting this quaint boutique in San Carlos for years. Now that I’ve moved to Ventura County, I follow them on Instagram where they feature items in their boutique. I absolutely love their necklaces, earrings, and headbands! I am so happy that they don’t mind sending me my goods. They also have unique gift items for bridal and baby showers, adorable Knick knacks for your home and a ton of beautiful items!

My daughter and grandson were in the store on Sunday afternoon shopping and encountered an uncomfortable situation while there on Dec. 6, 2020. I called to speak to the owner Denise, the next day. What a wonderful business woman. She apologized, called my daughter and physically came to my house to drop off a gift for my grandson. She was very gracious to do this very nice gesture. Now that's what I call a grateful business owner who does not want to loose a customer. This is a great store and I totally try to help out the small owned local business in our community, especially in these uncertain times. Denise we wish you happy holidays and many more years of a successful business. You are truly an incredible responsible business owner. Thank you Theresa.

Denise is incredibly friendly and so creative with her visions. I'm planning a wedding (2023) and my friend suggested I check this place out since this is where a lot of her beautiful center pieces and trinkets were purchased. I found more than what I needed. You can tell a lot of love was put into this place. So many little things you may miss if your not looking hard enough. I veered off track and started looking at baby clothes (omg). I will definitely be back to pick Denise's brain and perhaps a necklace and bracelet or two.
