Open only less than two months, Oxalis has already established quite a reputation as an urban nursery and the spot to find unique gifts, fashions, and home décor. I love the fact that the store is in an old converted house – seeing all their offerings scattered throughout an actual home gives you plenty of ideas on how to feather your own nest!
I love these funky, expressive little mask sculptures. And of course, these purses are right up my alley with their modern pattern and the chartreuse-and-brown color combo!
You'll find a nice selection of greeting cards and gift wrap – I love the way they used Ikea wine bottle holders to display the papers! I actually bought three of those holders a few months back to use in my office just like this.
Oxalis offers a nice selection of easy-to-care-for succulents and other indoor greenery. Plus plenty of books filled with advice and inspiration!
Just wait till you step out onto the back deck: the selection of plants, pots and garden ornaments is quite impressive.
My favorite part (besides the fabulous plaid rain coat that's still on my mind!) has to be this heart-shaped rock wedged into a tree trunk off to the side of the house – it certainly sums up my feelings about Oxalis!

I can't believe you got out of there without buying the plaid raincoat. I have to restrain myself from setting foot in Oxalis because I love everything in there. I made the mistake of going back in today, and that 'mistake' cost me $200. But what fabulous clothes I got and worth it! PS: I wrote about Oxalis in my blog today and linked to your post. Love your art. Best regards, Beth
