Welcome to my blog. I created this blog to keep you updated on the opening of my new home decor store in Santa Barbara, called Eden, located at 17 W. Ortega (next to Wildcat Lounge).  I hope to have it ready for a "grand opening" by mid Nov., so check back for an update on the exact date.

I currently own a store in Santa Barbara, called Paradise Import, with a business partner. We import teak furniture from Bali, Indonesia. Our inventory mainly consists of outdoor teak patio furniture.  We've done pretty well, since we don't have much competition, especially since nobody in town can beat our low prices. We've been in business for 5 years.

I decided it was time (way overdue) to go out on my own and open my own store. Having a partner is difficult and not as profitable, so when I found a retail space for lease downtown (right off State St., the main part of town) I decided it was now time to dissolve my partnership and open my own store.

The concept of Eden is to provide eco-friendly, organic, unique products for your home, lifestyle & spirt.  When you walk into Eden you will feel a warm welcome, not only by the store owner and staff, but by the decor & scents that will surround you.  I will continue to import product from Bali, but it will only be unique, antique or recylced teak products, mirrors and lighting.  I will incorporate local vendors and artists as well, such as jewelry, artwork, candles, incense, body lotions, pillows, throws, desk accessories, etc.  It will be a well-rounded mix of items, so there will be something for everybody to create your own sacred space in your home and life.

Please keep checking back for further updates on my store. Hope to see you there!
