They must have invented a time machine taking me back to a time when men dressed like…read moregentlemen--pocket squares and all, people carried journals to document their travels overseas, and all men wore beautifully crafted round glasses, before hipsters claimed them as their own. Everything here is beautifully curated, from the clothes to the random knick knacks strewn about the store. It is definitely a place that pays homage to the best parts of a bygone era. You can browse racks of blazers, ties, uniquely bright patterned linen shirts crafted in India (crafted in a material that designers no longer use, apparently), and feel as if you jumped in a time machine and landed in a well-dressed man's walk-in closet in the 1950s. I flipped through pages of someone's old travel journal, documenting their trip by sea to Europe. All in cursive, there was a page that struck out at me: "CAPTAIN'S AUTOGRAPH: E.C. Wiggle". This place is a gem. I now know what I would name my future dog, for sure:). This place is one part vintage heaven, one part history lesson, all parts My Favorite Store In All Of Portsmouth.

I'm not sure where to begin, as I am no antique expert nor am I a thrifter. I am merely in search of a previously-owned dry bar, preferably in good condition with a dash of character. I was so utterly overwhelmed with the sheer volume of items in this shop, it literally took me a few minutes to get my bearings and being rummaging. Lots of furniture - curio cabinets, headboards, end tables and every kind of lamp imaginable. It was all stuffed in so hap-hazardly, had there actually been a bar in there, I don't know that we would have spotted it. I relented and asked The Voice From Somewhere, and alas, there was no dry bar to be had. I can't imagine anything in there is especially precious or considered a real "antique," but stuff there is and loads of it, so if you're in the market for a funky coffee table or a gilded mirror, this is your treasure trove, fo' sho'.

I ended up stuck in the store for probably 15 minutes more than I wanted to as the man working there, who seems like he is a friend of the owner droned on and on about the most random things. For most of the conversation I was completely lost, and it took away from me being able to actually look at the goods. This place is jam packed with stuff - They have a large selection of beautiful stained glass windows and 60s and 70s modern furniture. If you're looking for that style, this is the place. The man did say that if there's something in particular you are looking for, that he would know whether they had it or not, and I think that might be the way to approach this place, because finding something on your own seems a little daunting with the sheer volume of the stuff.
