Brick & Mortar Friends: Pennyweight

We give a big old Bean Up The Nose Art "HOWDY!!!" here to a terrific new brick & mortar friend:

You'll find Pennyweight at 1337 Main St. in beautiful St. Helena, California.  Going strong since 2004, it offers everything that the lovely, fancy, cool sign outside the door says.

And more.  

Because this is a lush, luxe store.  Boy oh boy, is it.  For instance . . .when we visited last week, it was filled with very cool customers SPEAKING ITALIAN.  That's pretty darned fancy :) 

Just take a look at the place.  Chandeliers.  Lots of them.  

And jewelry.  Lots of it, from all different sources.  Including Cartier.

And other lovelies.

Pennyweight is run by the same folks who also own Palladium and Patina in St. Helena.  The spot was an old office supply store, and the new owners opened Pennyweight in response to the community's request for a high-end gift store in town.  

With an "eye for and appreciation of beauty," (as terrific buyer Laura explains), the owners rose to the task.  Bringing in the chandelier atmosphere.  And searching high and low for old jewelry cases . . . which they found in the Midwest, had shipped out, and refurbished. Gorgeousness.  

And filled with gorgeous things.

And, happily for Bean Up The Nose Art, Pennyweight carries an elegantly-displayed selection of greeting cards . . . which includes ours.  Which we are happy to report are selling very well in this oh-so-luscious spot.  And so are our luggage tags.  So cool!  So grateful!  

Thank you, Pennyweight, for carrying our products, and for providing them such a special place to be seen.  Hoping that everyone up in Wine Country will stop in and take a look at your lovely store.  YOU RULE!!!
