To classify Jones & Bones Unlimited as an eclectic shop would not do justice to the character of this long-established Capitola treasure. For more than 25 years it has been specializing in the simple service-oriented values that should define a locally owned and operated business. It has a diverse selection of unique home, gourmet and garden goods. It's really one of those shops that's at least worth a visit just to see what's in stock (and don't forget to say hi to Patches, the shop kitty). Before gourmet cooking was a reality-television phenomenon, Jones & Bones was a pioneer in the art of olive oil and balsamic vinegar tastings for the Bay Area. Since 1984 people have been able to refine their palettes at Jones & Bones with gourmet tastings of olive oil, balsamic vinegars, salts and sauces. The popularity of the shop has led to a widespread fan base known all over California and beyond. Publications such as Town & Country, Food & Wine, Cigar Afficianado and Wine Spectator have recognized the one-of-a-kind personality of Jones & Bones Unlimited.
Nic’s Vacuum & Small Appliance shop was opened in San Clemente in 1961 and has been selling to and repairing home appliances for the many residents of this beachside area ever since.

Knives and scissors are sharpened in-house. Nic’s is an authorized factory sales and service shop for brands such as Hoover, Miele, Bissel, Royal, Eureka and Sanitaire - though the shop can repair just about any brand and has a selection of new appliances on display.
For more than 35 years, Maria's has imported European ceramics, linens, chandeliers, jewelry and more for its loyal customers. Los Altos is the flagship store and has a large selection of French, Italian and British goods, including French linens and fabric. Ask about Italian pottery made exclusively for Maria's, that can also be customized for clients. It is difficult to leave the store without buying one of Maria's signature biscotti candles.
