It seems it gets a little more mainstream/ordinary every year (in years past we would get things that were brought over from other countries. Now it's a little more gift shoppy, with novelty socks and silly greeting cards.)

This funky little shop has been here forever! It's really a neat place and a must visit for me…read morewhen I'm in Chatham. It's centrally located on Chatham's quaint Main Street. I'd say they have items for almost all budgets here. They sell home decor, earrings, glassware, greeting cards, decorative pocket knives, cool socks, beautiful photos of the Cape, clocks, inexpensive coin purses, signs and SO MUCH MORE! My personal favorite is the jewelry, they often have some very eclectic items! Keep in mind the inventory is often changing, so if you see something you LOVE, you might want to buy it on this vacation. I spotted a sign in the store stating they will ship to 48 of the states. This is a great place to look for a unique gift!

One of our all-time favorite art galleries on Cape Cod…read more This location features art - paintings, engravings, giclees and lithographs - from Cape Cod artist Timothy Struna. His work is phenomenal - definitely among the best Cape Cod painters for my money. We always stop in whenever we're on the Cape to see the new works - they never disappoint - classic Cape Cod scenes beautifully rendered and very reasonably priced. The gallery is owned and operated by the artist's daughter Heather so you can be assured of the provenance/authenticity and learn as much as you want to know about the works. Watch your head on the way in though, the front door is tiny (which is fun too)!

I purchased a book and unfortunately either in the store or during the stroll it was misplaced. I retraced my steps and couldn't find it. It was a special gift. I went back to the store to see if someone had turned it in. I explained the situation to a gentleman who I believe is the owner. He graciously offered to replace the book at no cost to me. What an early Christmas gift.

Cape Abilities Farm puts people with disabilities at the helm of fully-functional, commercial…read moreproduce farm. Too humble to gloat for themselves, the yield from this Dennis land is some of the finest (and award-winningest) vegetation on the Cape. And in this bright green, columned shop near Chatham Lighthouse, is the spot to load up on all the crops the farm has to offer. Bibb lettuce to root vegetables, begonias to string beans - whatever's popping up from the well-tilled earth is being sold from these shelves. Oddly, there's also a toy corner, trinkets and baubles for touristy purchases (my shirt has a lighthouse on it!) and a side room serving as a local art gallery. Peculiar? A bit. Unique? Perhaps. Contributive towards the homey vibe? Definitely.* Just like the farm, the retail location is staffed by folks with special needs (mainly students from nearby Chatham High). Unlike the farm, this piece is air conditioned. Give it a peek - your soul (and your stomach) will thank you for it. ---- *After a bit of research, it seems the building in which the storefront resides was an old art gallery. The owners of said gallery have allowed Cape Abilities to operate rent-free for what's now the second continuous season. Warm fuzzies abound!

Love this store. GREAT produce, pies and more. Best part is ALL profits go to a wonderful cause!!…read moreThe taste of real farm fresh vegetables, cheeses and meats is amazing.
