Who: Alice Erb, co-owner of the wonderfully eclectic shop Tail of the Yak
Where: Oakland, California
Just over the Oakland border, in Berkeley, is Tail of the Yak — or the Yak, for short. It’s a magical, eclectic, jewel-box of a shop, beloved by locals as well as by international visitors who make pilgrimages to stock up on the store’s one-of-a-kind pieces.
Alice Erb, along with artist Lauren McIntosh, is the co-owner and has been since the mid-1970s. A voracious traveler, Alice often takes two or three international trips a year, both for pleasure and to shop for unique treasures from all over the world. (Of note are Anandamayi Arnold’s “surprise balls,” beautifully rendered paper fruits and botanicals that contain 12 tiny surprises within. Do you keep the beautiful object as is or unravel it? An intriguing dilemma.)
Alice has lived in the Bay Area most of her adult life and purchased her home in Oakland in 1983. It’s every bit as full of gorgeous souvenirs from her travels as you’d expect.
