We tasted olive oils and vinegar at this cute little stop near Los Olivos, CA. There is nothing like freshly harvested olive oil. Lucky for us some of their oil was only harvested last week! Yum! Plus we loved their fig and strawberry vinegars, among others! Real taste treats! We also enjoyed seeing their caper plants they just planted! I love capers but I had never seen the plants! Can't wait for that harvest. We will be back!

Coming to J. Woeste is just a delightful experience. Every nook is filled with creativity and beauty. The succulents are wonderful and combined in unique and beautiful ways. You’ll find garden art and wall art, charmed garden creatures and water features for home gardens. It’s one of my favorite places to find a treasure for our home garden or a wonderful gift for a friend. Allow yourself time to wander, sit in the shade and listen to wind chimes, and just enjoy.

Lol, upon entering, you are struck with what you think will be a sugar overdose BUT, as you look around and start focusing on the different flavor of fudge, it's really quite wonderful. The staff are friendly and choices plentiful. We bought the raspberry fudge and walnut one too. Slices are large enough to share with at least 4-6 people (or keep it to yourself & have it last a week!). Was a little disappointed with the pretzels. Thought they would be hot, and softer than they were. Still a pleasant experience.

We came to browse. The smell of leather brought back many horse related memories. From tack to jewelry and Breyer horses. I played with a double horseshoe/ring puzzle and couldn't get the ring back on the puzzle. The clerk kindly gave me instructions on how to do it. They also had a large selection of Mexican straw hats of all types. Not tourist sombreros!

I came to Solvang to visit some family of mine, and we were walking around one day when the window display caught my eye. I went in, and this is an amazing jewelry store. They have all kinds of pieces, they have rings, pendants, beautiful necklaces, bracelets of all kinds, and even brooches and pins (which I love but can't seem to find). I even found out the lady at the front and I are both named Penny! We definitely made more than a few jokes about that. Even beyond the quantity of beautiful things they have, the quality is second to none. They have rubys that are red, not the pink you see more often, but beautiful reds, deep purple amethyst, sapphires in pinks, and blues, and purples, even star sapphires. They even have citrine, and turquoise, and beautiful old pearls of all kinds. This is a jewelry collectors dream, or even and amazing experience for anyone who like to see beauty and the finer things. The owner Jim is also a silversmith and makes the most stunning pieces that are models of craftsmanship and beauty. I will be coming back whenever I am in town.

The Wildling Museum is where art and nature meet! Through beautiful art exhibitions and programs, we hope to inspire the next generation of artists and conservationists. We feature 3-4 art exhibitions at any one time as well as offer many art classes and lectures for all ages throughout the year. Our hand-painted Valley Oak wall mural is a beautiful way to become acquainted with our local landscape and wildlife. We also have a wonderful gift shop full of unique gifts and nature and hiking guides and maps (proceeds support the museum). The Wildling is a nonprofit, 501 (c) (3) organization.
