One-of-a-Kind Gifts What would we do if we didn’t have
Linda Kopperud at The Mole Hole to guide us? A veritable wonderland, her loca- tion near the DMV in north San Clemente offers us a treasure chest of presents. First of all, the assortment of hand- made greeting cards sometimes pre- cludes buying a gift, they are so original. Then there is a full array of jewelry headed by the original designs of Marco Polo Glass Jewelry – these pieces are something every woman could wear and so right for girlfriends, mothers and sisters (Earrings $45, Necklaces $220). A Coffee Scoop dou- bles as a bag clamp ($25) and is one of the most useful gadgets in the store, besides being very attractive – same goes for the Wolfard Lamps and the hand etched glassware. Decorative
Christine glassware is pleasing to the eye while Blanco glass pieces make a color statement. The cult of Wee Forest Folk handcrafted miniatures will find an out- standing selection and this could be the best one-stop shopping spree of all.
