Stop by 1528 Locust St. to check it out.

Lots of bridal store action happening in Walnut Creek lately with the bridal boutique Kinsley James Couture Bridal opening up over the weekend. Located at 1623 Mt.

One of the unique parts of the Walnut Creek Neiman Marcus store was the wind fins in front which would swing back and forth with the wind. Some loved them, others hated them, but now they are gone. However, according to an employee I spoke with they were falling off so they were taken down to fix.They should be back in four months.
Back last September I noted that Davidson & Lichte’s The Watch Shoppe closed on N. Main St. in downtown Walnut Creek and now the family-owned Wish gift shop has opened at this location offering gifts for all types, from babies, children as well as adults. The owner’s family had a similar shop in Carmel and the quality of goods is evident. They even have a few vintage toys such as fire engines and trucks that looked very cool. Although Davidson & Lichte plan on moving back to this location (as well as Vanessa’s) eventually, Wish would like to stay here as long as possible.
Check out some of the gifts for sale:
Wish Gift Shop is located at 1329 N. Main St. in downtown Walnut Creek across from Starbucks.
