Joanne, the owner, has such a good eye for cute, trendy gifts, ranging from quirky pickle candles and tomato magnets (purchased! Love!) to locally made jarred goods and spices. I was able to find unique gifts for under $20 each. When I went today, they were getting ready for an art show of prints by local artist Nick Sirotich (Legit! As a fellow illustrator, I loved his work.) Black and red ink drawings of original characters and scenes. Sometimes you kinda go "uh oh," when you hear "art", but these were ones you'd want to hang on your wall. Good stuff! Internet shopping is convenient, but it's so nice to actually browse a small, local brick and mortar store that is beautifully curated. Will definitely be back!
