Specialties
Amidst The Alders specializes in the whimsical, the curious, the rare and the lovely with items such as gourmet teas, craft chocolates, a dried flower bar, primitive antique furniture, a skincare apothecary, garden tools, repurposed items, old sea charts, unique textiles, locally found fossils and hand-crafted one of a kind jewelry. The owners, Kayla and Matt, have renovated a former realty office into a magical space, filled to the very brim with treasures and curiosities. Kayla makes all of the jewelry in-house, and Matt builds or restores the unique furniture.
History
Established in 2020.
After several years of potential locations falling through, Amidst The Alders found a permanent home in downtown Beaufort in November 2019. After many months of renovations, Kayla and Matt DeVito opened their new store on March 12th, 2020. After only 5 days in operation, they made the tough decision to close for 8 weeks for the safety of their community during Covid-19. They have since re-opened, and humbly welcome you into their unusually delightful shop.
Meet the Business Owner: Kayla D.
Hello! We welcome you to come visit Amidst The Alders and experience the whimsy we have worked for years to achieve. Our business thrives on community, kindness and love. We hope you leave our hard-earned shop with more joy, more peace and more delight than when you walked in. We don't thrive on mere sales or conversion rates; instead, we choose to run our business based on relationships and authenticity, kindness and compassion, and more importantly- love for all. We welcome you in, whether you have a dollar to your name, or one million dollars. All are welcome here and are treated with the same high level of respect and dignity. We support many local charities that are near and dear to our hearts, and run fun sales to raise donations. Stop by and stay awhile- whether you need a safe place to talk, a shoulder to lean on, or your heart simply needs a rest for a bit. Our inventory may change constantly, but you will always, always find friendship and comfort here.
