There are so many reasons to shop Petaluma. Here are a few.
Artifacts and home goods at Bay-Ti: Rachid Hassani’s store on Kentucky Street adds a Moroccan vibe to Petaluma’s vintage scene. Hassani includes his own creations made from upcycled items—like a rustic tabletop perched on the pedals of an exercise bike—along with treasures from artisan-rich Morocco: antique carved bowls that still carry the faint scent of camel’s milk, poufs made from antique rugs, modern ceramic tea sets and more. Bay-ti, 1 Fourth St., Petaluma, 707-774-6561, baytihome.com

Botanical buys at Flourish: It’s Jungalow in the home design world. By that, we mean a plant-crazy wave of eclectic and pretty bohemian style sweeping the Instagram feeds. Flourish has plant-happy finds, like air plants galore with many unique vessels to put them in. Also practical gifts like brass sprayers that are pretty enough to double as decor. Geodes and botanical art and other treasures, too, are available for this nature-centric moment in home design. Flourish, 5 Fourth St., Petaluma, 707-971-7666, flourishbayarea.com
