The shop owner popped in and recognized my daughter~ talk about personalized service! Crystin is obsessed with the handmade soaps they carry and wanted to get the "Monkey Butt" one as a gag gift for my sister- despite the name, it actually smelled rather nice.

Toward the end of the strip of retail shops on Dodecanese Blvd. (next to the spice shop) Katie (I hope that I have her name right), has a fashion forward and conscious place to get clothing items and accessories that you'd be hard pressed to get anywhere else. When speaking to the owner I was informed that she only buys a few of each article of clothing so once the stock is exhausted, that's all there is available. I was told new shipments come in weekly which is pretty awesome. Her shop features some local handmade accessories and various pieces of wall art. I enjoyed talking to the shop owner and a salesperson when I was there and they were helpful without being pushy. I did not feel pressured to buy anything which makes for an enjoyable shopping experience. I found the clothing to be reasonably priced and I bought several pieces for my upcoming vacation. I hope to visit again and see the great pieces that Katie carries a limited inventory of. This is her first store and something she's passionate about and enjoys and I love that. Check out this boutique if you are fashion conscious (and even if not) and enjoy wearing clothing that is not sold in many stores. I really don't have patience for shopping but this store made it easy for me. Thank you for the great experience, Shell Shop, and for outfitting me for clothes for my trip!!! Shop local!!!

I like that the flooring is original. I don't know if anyone from the family that opened the store is involved in it today, but it has a really eclectic blend of items. There is a lot of Guatemalan crafts as well as an array of pottery from different studios. The folk art crafts are really cool. All kinds of wooden statues of people, some of which are saints. The masks I took a picture of are also Guatemalan. They were so cool, but then, I love masks. There is also some antiques. I ended up not buying anything but it was fun to look.
