The Quill

553 Lighthouse Ave., Pacific Grove

It’s fitting that The Quill occupies a Victorian-era storefront. Those comfortable frame structures confirmed that the Wild was fading from the Wild West, and that goods from the Sears catalogue could be shipped to all points. Giving gifts has never been easier. The Quill stocks a variety of unique goods from cards, books or stationery. You can get any kind of invitation or personalized stationery, as well as finishing touches like decorative wrapping paper and bows. The shop also offers a nice selection of candles and leather goods, as important today as in the 1800s.
