Very eclectic book & fantastic gift selection, just like its had forever. This place was a walk back in time for me. I lived in Los Angeles in the late 80s and spent a lot of time in the Melrose store. Loved shopping here again!

I visited the store when it was on Melrose. I loved the assortment of odd and weird stuff. I still have a button I bought there. Highly Recommended!

Meeps and yay! The best vanilla oil i have found in the 23 years of wearing vanilla- been only wearing theres since i found it in 2009! So glad I did! Just got this new larger bottle since I moved to Texas in 2016. Doesn't burn your skin, lasts forever- and i have seriously sensitive skin! Try it kiddos- they rock in so many ways, art alone, was enough to get me to wanna live there. @tricia is also one of the best employees there!
