Weathered Nest  

#3, (415) 226-8336. 

This sweet little gift shop purveys antiques, tarted-up furniture, and accessories—think fragrant sachets, useful magnifying glasses, and maybe a vintage bird cage.  Weathered Nest is a pleasure to browse, and I’ll be back for Christmas shopping.

Village Music  

#5  (415) 388-7400.  Sat 12-5 & by appt. 

Some call Village Music the best record store in the world.  Record is the operative word, as there are no CDs here.  Only things made from vinyl.  You’ll find more than 500,000 78s, 45s, and 33 1/3s.  Music royalty have mad the trek:  Mick Jagger came in one day, followed by John Lee Hooker several days later.  The owner now operates the tiny space as a hobby, and so has cut way back on hours.
