Wonderful customer service. Cute shop. Reasonable prices. Quality merchandise. Seek them out, you will be glad you did.

This was, by far, my favorite little discovery in St. Augustine. We were in town for the day and one of the musts is walking along St. George St.
We happened to turn down a random corner walked down a hallway which was was essentially an indoor shopping area with several small storefronts.
As soon as we approached this store I spied their jewelry display and made a beeline. No olives in sight, hence their name. The store is super cute and the owner, Kristen, makes use of every inch of space. She has been there for 8 months and hopefully will be a fixture there. The selection of jewelry as well as how it was displayed sucked me in. I couldn’t believe the price points. I even made a comment to Kristen on how I couldn’t believe how cute everything was (nothing tacky and gawdy) and how affordable. She said that being off St George St. and not directly on helps.
I probably spent a good 20 – 30 minutes here talking to the owner about the area and also shopping. The jewelry was very reminiscent of Stella & Dot so I spent time trying items on. Kristen also offered her long mirror in her storage closet since I was too short to use the one on display. Lol
There were also fair trade items, vegan handbags based out of New Orleans made out of cork! What amazed me were the items sold to benefit worthy causes such as the handmade greeting cards made by women in the Philippines to end human trafficking.
I could’ve spent much more time here browsing but I had my husband in tow so it was out of the question.
I HIGHLY recommend this shop for that unique gift. The owner is so very down to earth and was a pleasure to do business with. Hope her shop is there the next time I’m in town but until then I will get my fix via her website and FB!
