If I end up the lone survivor in a nuclear blast I will make sure to pack back up glasses and head there to read, since there will be Time Enough At Last. Its also a very cozy shop, lots of books that grabbed my attention as well as fun totes and stickers. Disappointed to hear from the shopkeeper that not a lot of folks got the reference. Look the episode up folks, its a classic!

Patricia helped me discover the artist of a portrait my family acquired some time ago. I had very…read morelittle information to offer but she is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced in her field and was able to give me high probability of the artist based on the photographs I emailed her. Patricia was extremely responsive and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her and would most definitely work with her again in the future. I have a new appreciation of my portrait and will cherish it even more! Thanks Patricia!

Several years ago we purchased a 19th century oil portrait of an attractive young woman. The dealer…read moreknew only that it came from a family in mid-Missouri who thought it MIGHT be a work by George Caleb Bingham. We have tried on our own to prove or disprove that attribution, but it was Patricia Moss of Fine Art Investigations who answered the question, and she did it within a few days. Using her knowledge of Bingham and his known portraits, she compared and contrasted our portrait to those by him. Very kindly and in helpful detail, she said we do not have a previously unknown Bingham portrait. A number of itinerant artists traveled through the Midwest in the mid 1800s, and she will continue to look for a connection between our portrait and a specific artist. I have been very impressed with Patricia's knowledge and care and am so glad we found her! We still love our painting and are delighted to have an answer to our question.

I've been looking for an amazing pirate flag. Still looking. We did find a smaller pirate flag that says, "The Drinking Will Continue." We had to buy it. It'll be great for Halloween. They had a few really nice Seattle Seahawks flags. Little spendy, but still nice.

We are transplants to the Long Beach Peninsula so we were naïve about impact about our winter wind gusts on flagpoles. Ron not only helped us select the right size and strength of pole to accommodate our windsocks, but also described in detail how to plant the pole (tips, materials, process) for ultimate success. We currently are proudly displaying our WSU Cougar windsock purchased here. In addition, we found a Ladybug Whirlygig Spinner for a gift which was the reason why we came in here in the first place. There is something here for everyone. The selection, price, and most importantly how he went out of his way to help us are what will keep us coming back!
