Soak Up a truly skin-loving experience with a Central Coast exclusive. Lucia Apothecary is a celebration of California’s Central Coast and Janet and Lisa’s products buff, bath, and quench your skin with the essence of warm sandy beaches, the rocky Big Sur coast, delicate tidal pools, coastal planes dotted with poppies, sage and lupine, lush vineyards, oak woodlands and so much more.

Notice how flowers that you send or receive are ordinary and unimaginative more often than not? Arlyne's Flowers & Gifts is a third generation Central Coast family who still practice the artistry of creating arrangements that are really special. We've captured a sampling of this Fall's Must Have's on Arlyne's film clip.

And they are! One of a Kind and From the Heart. We discovered these bags while shopping at McKenzie's and are now carrying them in our Gift Gallery. Each bag is one of a kind and so creatively finished, you'll be wanting more than one.

"Oh my! I never knew this was here!" "I love this shop!" "Just coming in makes me feel special." These are a few of the comments constantly expressed when walking in the door at McKenzies in Atascadero. It's worth the drive. Proprietress, Cathy Brady, has a breathtaking selection of Willow sweaters, Whitewash, Nataya, Not Your Daughter's Jeans, and Brighton jewelry - as well as unique and one of a kind pieces.
