all over the world, there's a scent
for everyone.
On the corner of Forest and
Glenneyre, Tuvalu is a treasure
trove. From locally produced merchandise and books written by
locals and the surrounding area, it
is tempting to just browse. But look
further and you will be surprised-
the store is remerchandised four
times a year and is replenished by
fun finds in home and flea markets. Their sofas are inviting while
their accessories and effortless
coastal style will enhance homes
everywhere.
Find some real treasure with no
sand between your toes. Heading

south away from downtown, you
can't miss the giant industrial
doors of Cottage Furnishings and
with their signature Adirondack
chairs immediately make you feel
at home. A shopper's paradise-
each turn reveals one-off items
mixed with classic home decor.
The constant turnover of coastal,
rustic, and cottage style furniture
and accessories ensure a surprise
on every visit.
Buy Hand is all about social
entrepreneurialism. Recently
moved to the HIP district (Historic
and Interesting Places-a sevenblock strip between Thalia and
Bluebird Canyon) over 70 percent

of the lovely things in Buy Hand
are from the U.S. Local designers
and artists include Jill Cooper's
art glass, gold plated initial disc
necklaces created by the owner,
and Transcend organics, featured
side by side with global fair-trade
items supporting various women's
co-operatives.
Looking for European cool?
Visit Vertigo for gifts and home
accessories inspired by travel, art
and design, all oozing European
style. Among the many unusual
gifts, you'll see izipizi sunglasses
from Paris, fun straw-fringed
bags with pom-poms, Richard
Hutten designed wallpaper and
