Unassuming from the outside, when we entered we found a delightful, charming and beautifully-curated collection of home decor, hand-dipped candles, nautical-themed tchotchkes, original and lithograph wall art, and other such items, most of which are crafted locally. We were also impressed with the friendly and knowledgeable staff. We spent more than a few dollars here buying knick-knacks and gifts. The only problem now will be getting it back home to Kansas! Totally worth stopping in of you're in New Bedford!

They have good prices for quality items like those pictures with calming and comedic sayings that you hang in your kitchen, willow tree sculptures, and sometime half priced candles. I bought a mini Birthday card for my friend for only 50 cents! The Christmas section of the store was all half off because of it being September, and was very..very...Christmas-y. Many large and home-y gems like metallic bird baths, major dolls, and rocking chairs lined the back room. This place may not be for my generation, but If your shopping for your elders, preferably from 35-100, this is the place to go for gift time.

It's less fancy and more practical and equally a find in it's own right. Euro Phoenix is filled to the brim and a joy to explore. And have a bite at Pumpernickels across the street.

I managed to finish my Christmas shopping in this store. Lots of glassware, clothing, home accessories, some food, toys, shoes, kitchen items, garden items, books and some Norwegian items. Let's talk about the jewelry. Wow, do they have some nice jewelry. I did a little Christmas shopping for myself while I was there. Service was great. The woman behind the counter had a whole lot patience for my friend and I as we hemmed and hawed over which jewelry we wanted to buy. She was quick to point out different ways to wear some of the items. It's definitely worth a stop. ** Just a note that this shouldn't be confused with the Euro Store on Middle Street. That's more of a clearance store for this place and also sells supplies for fishermen.

If that is how they treat their artists I can only imagine how they treat their customers.
