Viva Karen's Keepsakes!!!!!

by towerstoreowner

I'm addicted to the place. I always find good things there. My girls just love eveything I get them. I've known Karen for years and she has never ceases to amaze me with all she does to make her shop special and to keep people coming back. She told me she has been in business for over 18 years. We hope she never leaves!

• Pros: Happy vibes and outstanding service over the years!
• Cons: Absolutely none.

Karen's Keepsake -- A Magic World within a World of Beauty

by CelticMaiden

I never saw such a wonderful selection of fashion and costume jewelry, plus all the extras like totally unique and wonderful cards for all occasions, Italian silk scarves, be-jewed purses and handbags, flat wallets for the working woman, amazing wristwatches. There is no store in Fresno or anywhere in the San Joaquin Valley like this. My husband and I love the place. You can also get custom "Pop Portraits" made of yourself, family members, even your home --- framed and ready to hang. You can see a whole gallery of the owner's incredible "neo-Impressionist" artwork on display permanently at the shop. One of the things we like about this place is the international flavor of the merchandise (and the reasonable prices!), with designs from Europe and the main fashion centers of the USA. One of my special weaknesses is the sunglasses --- a jaw-dropping selection inspired by world reknown designers at affordable prices. One thing that will surprise you is the fine, classy packaging and special wrapping that is available for a song. Karen can make any gift you buy there look like a million dollars by the time she puts it into your bag to take home. To tell you the truth, I go to this store just for the lift it gives me: it is like taking a short vacation in some beautiful place -- and that includes the shop music. Service is fast and mechandise is constantly being refreshed with new items and selections. Occasionally, I've made the mistake of thinking I would be able to come back for something I really liked, only to find that it was sold by the time I made my return trip. So, if you see a treasure here you really like, it may not be a good idea to put off buying it for a rainy day. The important thing here, though, is that new and fun things are constantly appearing. Karen's Keepsakes seems to shop all over the world for its merchandise. --Celtic Maiden
