And there's a wine bar across the way. Door County easily fulfills all of my needs on one single street. I have children, but I didn't have them with me, but nevertheless, I made a beeline for the children's section. The kids area here is fun and colorful, with a nice couch to sit on and read, lots of picture books and graphic novels, and a stool for shorties who can't reach. Novel Bay gives teachers a 10% discount every day, which is nice. The whole shop is tidy and well organized, and there's a good selection without it being overwhelming.

This used/new bookstore has a delightful charm (complete with a dog in a chair, adorably sleeping during our visit), books stacked from floor to ceiling, and a certain ambiance that can only be achieved by the greatest used bookstores. After combing through the shelves, my other half grabbed a stack of books he couldn't leave without. It would have received a five star review, except you can only pay with cash. We had to pop over to the ATM to get enough cash for our total.

During the last week of July, there were still plenty of lavender, but enough had been cut away to leave some gaps among the "sea of purple."

I don't carry cash with me too often so I was a little frustrated to find out they only accept cash ($15) if you want to pick a small bundle of lavender. Thankfully we did have cash in our car this time, but I would have been SO disappointed if we spent the time to travel to the island and couldn't pick the lavender. Perhaps they could install an ATM at the farm for the majority of us who have embraced the cashless lifestyle?
