Tiny Baubles
AL: On a narrow side street across from the community football .jpg)
field in Crestline Village, an unassuming shop occupies a quaint yellow bungalow that fits quietly into its surroundings. But the of-the-moment, reasonably priced treasures to be found at Bags & Baubles are fantastic enough to qualify this store for shout-out-loud, rock star status.

As the name connotes, the shop's finds are largely of the carrying and accessorizing variety. From fashionable earrings and necklaces to print pashminas, from sporty flats to knock-off and original handbags, the merchandise unfolds as you wander from room to room. A select number of garments can also be found in the mix. Other standouts include “stamp” watches with oversized square faces in bright hues and edges that mimic the scalloped borders of a genuine postage stamp.
In terms of pricing, few things are over $100 and most are under $50. Earrings are generally offered in the $10-$16 range.
Owner Lisa Warnock originally ran Bags & Baubles as an adjunct to her high-end women's trunk show clothing venture. Eventually, clients were complimenting her personal style in accessorizing the skirts and blouses for sale as much as they were the actual clothing. She moved to this location when business and the demand for her particular je ne sais quoi became too great.
