When my husband brought me there 13 years ago, I too fell in love. The mix of unique clothing and insanely beautiful glassware/art pieces - just awesome. We have 4 beautiful bowls with are works of art (upcycled materials no less)! The clothing is unique boutique style and she might not have a ton of sizes at any given time, but most of the clothing has a very flowy feel, so you can check out sizes as she does have a dressing room! Carole is truly wonderful and so helpful - she gift wrapped our most recent purchases with the most lovely bows and care, we feel so lucky they are still there and look forward to our next visits! There's a lovely selection of jewelry, scarves, lots of different bowls and platters and cups - bring your Christmas shopping list for unique, incredibly beautiful works of art that are affordable and really high quality!

I recently bought very comfortable black sneakers which unfortunately had huge white soles that looked weird at my age. I hoped to be able to hide that white rubber with black paint. My son got me a 2.25 oz bottle of Black (n° 588) Light Body Opaque Acrylic NEOPAQUE by Jacquard. The product was very easy to apply and dried absolutely flat as I hoped. I used a hair dryer to apply some heat and waited 24 hours before wearing my new sneakers. I can report that this paint is of amazing quality because there has been no flaking or peeling whatsoever in over a month. I brought the container to Europe so I could retouch the soles of my sneakers in case the black paint wore off but it has not been necessary. I cannot tell you what a pleasure it is to find that such a fine product is still made in the USA... Please don't sell your company.

It's been around forever, and once you step inside, it just keeps going, winding into a surprisingly large space with a solid nature and environmental section, plus science fiction, fiction, and well curated staff picks. A highlight of our visit was the resident bookstore cat, the Great Catsby, a dignified 16-year-old. We didn't see any posted rules, but it's worth remembering: interaction with a cat is always on the cat's terms. Sit calmly nearby and you might be chosen (we were lucky!), but it's never a given with any cat, especially a senior one. A lovely bookstore experience. Long live the indies!
