Mill Valley Patch - Ambatalia and Bloomingayles Come Full Circle at Mill Valley Lumber Yard

Years after opening (and closing) their respective stores in Mill Valley, a sustainable fabric maker and a floral designer set up shop on historic downtown property.

In mid-2012, the then-120-year-old Mill Valley Lumber Yard was on the ropes, its owners putting the property up for sale and sending the rumor mill into a frenzy about what would become of it.

Barely 18 months later, the historic property is the subject of a gleaming building restoration project and the home of a trio of unique businesses, two of which have been in Mill Valley in various forms for more than a decade.
