The owner is very knowledgeable, with a strong interest in textiles, ceramics and crafts. She travels during the winter in order to find new emerging artists, but she also features the best local artists. Prices run the gamut from affordable to out of sight. Openings are fun and friendly. The staff is really helpful, too. This gallery has stood the test of time, and it deserves a shout out. If you enjoy discovering new artists and meeting new people, come to an opening at the Shaw Cramer Gallery. I'll see you there.

(No fee to enter the sculpture garden) The indoor gallery has smaller sculptures and paintings. Unfortunately, the items are way out of my budget. However, it's fun to just view the entire gallery.

I am not particularly into art but it was interesting to see some of contrasting pieces in particular (Charlie Brown cartoon with picture of artwork rhino). The prices reflect a combination of the art quality and the clientele who live here. One of the locals who worked here, probably a son of the museum owner, was nice enough to make small talk with me but I also convinced him to tell me more about Maison Villatte.

Heaven in Falmouth, Massachusetts…read more What a remarkable gem--an extraordinary artist and an equally remarkable gallery nestled within her beautiful home. Ms. Julia O'Malley-Keyes is an inspirational artist whose work captures fleeting moments of reality with extraordinary sensitivity and precision. She has the rare ability to draw our attention to the smallest details: the delicate strand of a horse's hair, the intricate texture of a bird's feather, the drama of sailors managing an unfurling sail, or the exquisite details within the petals of a flower. Her artwork is not simply something to look at; it invites you to pause, observe, and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. Beyond her remarkable artistic talent, Julia is also an open-minded, thoughtful, and delightful intellectual. Conversation with her is every bit as engaging as experiencing her art. If you are anywhere on Cape Cod, do not miss this extraordinary artist, her gallery, and her creations. It is a truly memorable experience--and, for me, a little piece of heaven in Falmouth.

The shop has beautiful homey items- Table cloths, napkins, towels, closet accessories.... I purchased the most fragrant Lavender and eucalyptus sachets. It's known as sachets by the yard. It was about $24.00. You can hang the entire yard of sachets in the closet or you can cut them to have individual packets. I wish the iPhone had an app where everyone could smell this wonderful scent. I also purchased lavender sachets to give to mom. The manager was super friendly and helpful. I'll definitely return to this shop. I just have to be careful because I could spend a fortune here. LOL...

Since writing my review yesterday of the North Star glass gallery, I have not been able to stop…read morethinking of a quaint little gift shop that I have visited many times in Nantucket because the beautiful and colorful glass is what first drew me inside. Through the years I have collected many things, from antiques to sports memorabilia with Norman Rockwell in between, enough so that I could probably open my own shop. Call me a pack rat, if you will, but my fascination with glass catches every one's eyes. I once had a comment from a visitor coming along as a date with our male friend and he commented on my paperweight collection and she said, oh you can buy those at Target, Ha! I buy nothing unless it is signed or marked and if it has papers, all the better. It is here at the Beach Glass of Nantucket that I bought my one and only extra large "paperweight". It measures 11" wide by 10" tall and 4' deep and is the most gorgeous sunset scene! It weighs a ton and they would have shipped it for me to Pennsylvania, but I decided I would rather get it home myself. While we spent the day touring the island and having lunch, they went out of their way to package it safely. The artist is well known and it is Murano glass and from Oggetti, Italy. I paid $1,500.00 and the artist passed away shortly after, probably because he heard how much I paid for the piece, just kidding. I have it sitting in a downstairs window that catches a lot of light with my dozen and a half smaller paperweights surrounding it. Good glass paperweights are a real work of art to me because of the pain staking details they bring together to make gorgeous flowers and beautiful scenes. This shop does sell a lot of glass, some of it is cheap, so you do have to look. They have the coolest note cards decorated beautifully by local artists. They also have local artisans who hand craft jewelry and artists who paint beautiful scenes on glass goblets and flower vases. The shop is small but loaded with gems, you just have to take the time to look. Nantucket is like stepping back in time... Until you see the prices. Not wheelchair accessible.
