They sell more than 250 earrings ranging from $10-160 per earring. They also do ear piercings using needles (never guns) and tout themselves as authorities on "ear scaping."
Vessels
A new store has blossomed in the Bishop Arts District by the same folks that brought the area the ever-popular Oasis Plant Shop. Located directly across the street, this boutique features planters, coffee cups, bowls, and more made by local ceramicists. A lot of the pottery is even made in-house. Shoppers can check out the uber-local shop and support their neighbors doing really cool things with their hands.
