This was the same experience we had two years ago, so unfortunately, nothing has changed. For a weekend, especially in a tourist-friendly town, you'd expect shops to be open. Total disappointment.

Well finally, we decided to have breakfast at old Bridge Diner next door to Cox with the anticipation of finally being able to shop there before or after our breakfast! When we arrived to the very over crowded parking lot my daughter-in law decided it would probably be good idea to shop while on the 45 minute or so wait ahead of us. We found a spot near the Cox store and parked only to be greeted by a man with his arms crossed, telling us we could not park there if we were eating at old bridge!!! We told him we had planned on shopping there first. Due to this we will never shop there!!!!! If we could give him a 0 we would have!!!

Some items seemed really overpriced but it was a fun place.

The last couple of times I have been here, including this time, she is not even open, and it's a weekend in August! So very disappointing. The thing that I really love about this shop and the reason I keep coming back is because she highlights local artists, and there are usually many unique things, priced reasonably.
