Just about 200 steps from The Evergreen Gallery, there’s a little A-frame on the downtown Evergreen boardwalk where you can find a perfume that smells like a garden, a deck of cards you’ll want to look at one by one, and a steel drum you can play with your fingertips. That’s the Owl Cat Shoppe, our sister shop between Muddy Buck and Wildflower Café.
We like to say it’s “For the Wise and Curious… and sometimes Fierce.” It’s a little whimsical, a little mysterious, and full of things worth picking up and looking at more closely. If you’ve ever gone gift shopping and wished you could find something that felt just like the person you had in mind, come poke around.
Find a fragrance with a personality
Our fragrance shelves hold three collections from Colorado’s Margot Elena. TokyoMilk is playful and unexpected, with artful packaging that’s part of the fun. TokyoMilk Dark leans moodier, for anyone drawn to a scent with a little more intrigue. Lollia has a softer, more romantic feel. Snowdrop is a favorite with our customers, and a lovely place to start if you’re new to the line.
Open a card. Deal a hand. Start a game.
A Lovepop card is fun to give because you get to watch someone open it. A paper sculpture springs up from the folds, and suddenly the card is part of the gift. We also carry BV by Bruno Visconti stationery for people who still love putting pen to paper.
For game night, browse games from Stellar Factory and Dux Somnium Games. If you love a beautifully designed deck, take a look at our Art of Play and theory11 playing cards. They make a regular game of rummy feel a little more special, and they’re easy to tuck into a suitcase for the trip home.
Bring a little art home
We carry beautiful Lynn & Liana barware for the friend who loves to host, or for your own Friday evening cocktail. And if you’re drawn to art that changes every time you look at it, give one of our Exotic Sands pieces a turn. Watch the sand drift and settle into a new landscape, with ridges and valleys that form right in front of you.
Follow your ears, or pick up a pocket treasure
The steel tongue drums are fun to try, even if you’ve never played an instrument. Tap a few notes and hear how they ring together. We also carry singing bowls, each with a tone of its own, and tumbled crystals in colors and patterns that make it hard to choose just one. There’s something satisfying about finding a stone that feels just right in your hand.
Find us on the boardwalk
The next time you’re visiting us at The Evergreen Gallery, take a little stroll along the boardwalk and look for the A-frame between Muddy Buck and Wildflower Café. Give yourself a few minutes to wander. You might find a gift for someone who’s famously hard to shop for, or a little something you’ll want to keep for yourself.
