The Blue Door

It's a three-level, mid-century vintage store in Santa Barbara's Funk Zone. (Take "funk" with a giant, very bougie grain of pink Himalayan sea salt, but it's not far from the water, walkable, packed with great wineries and restaurants and shops.)

We go every time we're in town. Vintage furniture and YSL luggage and local art we absolutely cannot afford but might buy anyway one of these days, and also great candles, bins full of old vinyl you actually want, beautiful old purses and matchbooks and little wood or metal owl and giraffe knickknacks (and other animals too, but come on, owls and giraffes!), all in a normal price range. I have never left without a treasure.
