This has to be one of the weirdest stores I've ever seen, but for a suitable souvenir of our…read moreSouthern Maryland trip, it sure fit the bill. There are three signs out front: "Harmon House Shoppes"; "Grandmother's Store"; and "Inner Equinox". I don't know what you might gather from three signs, but as I walked up the steps of the old house in which this shop is located I figured Harmon House Shoppes was a collective, and that Grandmother's Store and Inner Equinox were both inside. I was right, but these shops aren't separate. All the merch is together. This means that the chowder mugs, "Feeling Crabby" travel cups, crystal fan pulls, salt water taffy, and plush monkeys captured by "Grandmother's Store" are shelved right alongside the jasmine massage oils, meditation CDs, tarot cards, evil eye bracelets, and incense sticks captured by "Inner Equinox". This also means I was able to pick up a cheesy Chesapeake Bay snowglobe and delicate blown glass Christmas ornament because I like to collect both on trips, and husband was able to pick up a white sage smudge stick because he likes to burn things.

I almost passed by this little place! Thank goodness for the word "crystals" on the sign, made me…read moreturn right back around to check it out. There's a little bit of everything inside. Think of it as a new age metaphysical shop crossed with a quaint gift shop and you've got the Harmon House. The woman at the front desk, I did not get her name, is so sweet! She let us know about all of the classes and services they offer in addition to all of their neat gifts. Some of the things she mentioned were massages, reiki, and readings. I left with a gorgeous abalone shell ($11.99, such a steal!), a handmade magnet to remember my trip, and a few tumble stones. I couldn't be happier!

Located near the heart of Great Mills Maryland it's only about 45 minutes from DC. It features the art of renowned local talent like Mary Lou Troutman as well as Donnie Poe who was a master of making signs with reclaimed wood.

I was already in this area to take a peek at what they had to offer and the stores and selection varied a lot. Some places had low quality times for a high price, some had low quality for a low price, however this one was on the other end of the spectrum for me. The items here are of very high quality...with a price tag to match. That's not a bad thing in the least. But when you are just looking for a unique item to add to your living space without having to give much care to the thought of maintenance, this isn't the place for you. Walking into this place almost feels like you are walking into a partial museum. It is beautifully laid out and the pieces are so pristine that you almost feel hesitant to touch. The building is quaint and it can take some time to go through the building. There are two floors to explore with a ton of different items to look through. Trinkets to furniture for your picking. I did see many items that I loved just by looking at, but too far of a reach for my pocketbook. What I found extraordinary here was the customer service. After looking through their stock and not finding what I was looking for I had asked the lady working if there were any other places nearby to search. She went over the top and told of several places in the direction that I was heading. I was very grateful for her assistance and she wasn't wrong with her suggestions.
