Just a note before you read on... this list is of my favorite places. No businesses have paid to be on this list for advertising or any other purpose.
Our customers and especially visitors regularly ask me where I shop or recommendations for eating, coffee, shopping etc... Here are a few of my favorites.
I'm Jen and this is what I do on my day off... (Stay tuned, Susan's list is coming soon.)
CONSIGNMENT SHOPPING:
Renaissance Fine Consignment
One of my favorite and most recommended places is Renaissance Fine Consignment on State Street between Figueroa and Anapamu - Right next to the SB Museum of Art and on the outer perimeter of La Arcada (previously on the interior of La Arcada).
Worth the trip every time! I always find amazing deals and I send consignors in all the time and they report back with glowing reviews! A must see if you live here or are just visiting! Plus the owner, Joanne is just a great gal and amazing businesswoman.

Coffee, Pastries, Lunch :
Renauds
Renauds in Arlington Plaza hands down the best coffee and pastries (and lunches) in Santa Barbara. Ditch the Starbucks and CBTL for this locally owned family business and you won't be disappointed. Always friendly service, clean with a cute european bistro decor. I always run into my customers here so I'm guessing most of you already know how great this place is. Also check out the jewelry store next door, Voytech Massey has a museum quality collection of stunning estate jewelry and watches. Must see!

Fun Places to Stay While On Holiday:
One of our favorite customers has this lovely property; eclectic and romantic touches make it feel like you are at home in Santa Barbara.
Out of town family members have stayed here and RAVED about how sweet it is. Personally, I prefer this type of accommodations over a hotel any time possible.
The grounds are beautiful and quaint, close to town but not too close. There are gorgeous chickens darting about (if you are lucky, you get the most amazing eggs!) The two cottages I've been in had a kitchen, which was GREAT for having family and friends over for coffee and breakfast or early afternoon wine and cheese.
Her name is Janet... Tell her you saw it on our blog! Thanks : )
Here is a link to JUST ONE of the cottages, and there are a few. My favorite is the "Tree House". http://www.vrbo.com/90781
