Gecko Trading Co. Boutique

Description:

• The selection in this tiny boutique is eclectic and always changing: One day it's mesh T-shirts in a dragon motif, the next it's Provence soaps and antique lapis jewelry. I've seen everything from handmade crocheted bags from New York to hammered-tin candle holders from Mexico, plus clothing from Spain and France, collectible bottles, toys, and shawls. The prices are reasonable, the service is friendly, and it's more homey than glammy -- not as self-conscious as some of the other local boutiques.
