this is a very cool store, not like any other shop on the eastside. they have some really interesting things and it's all displayed and merchandised beautifully. plus it smells sooooo good in there!! having a positive shopping experience is so rare in LA.....that I was truely blown away by this store. the staff, or owners (?) were very friendly and helpfull, i really felt like they didn't care if I spent a few hours in there looking around, they even made suggestions of other places to do my holiday shopping. everything i bought was carefully gift wrapped and looked amazing!!
