Maxine's is actually a pretty sizable gift shop, in addition to being a well-reputed florist. It would feel like your garden-variety, saccharine-sweet vacation-town mercantile if it didn't go over the top just a tad far. Take the live birds in vintage cages lining the walls; they let out a perfunctory squawk just as we decided they were fake.
Lamps, candles and books are displayed among other vintage and vintage-inspired pieces, like desks, embellished flip mirrors and wrought-iron bistro tables. We were particularly intrigued by this series of petal/flame table and floor lamps dotting the store.
In the end we couldn't commit to a floral arrangement, and stopped by Whole Foods on the way home instead. But we don't regret the detour: our Urbanweeds friend was right; it was quite the experience.

I want to know more about this Petal lamp.
Intriguing.

these are the kind of stores, if you can isolate something amongst all the "stuff", you can do very well. If you can't, it's slightly overwhelming. Anthropologie, it ain't!

Sorry to grumble,but can these Washington/Oregon links be posted somewhere other than AT:SF? I get so tired of getting excited about a potential new store for me to check out only to find out that its two states away!
If you're not going to talk about SF, don't call it AT:SF, make it AT: North-West or something. AT:LA doesn't have this problem.

We have just four "city" sites at this point. AT:SF's territory is the Bay Area and north up to British Columbia.
AT:LA does, in fact, cover areas other than just LA, and it's the same with Chicago and New York. We're just lucky enough to have a writer who's actually in Seattle.
(But we'll look into making it more clear where a store is located.)
