You'll be greeted by hilarious anti-Harper propaganda and fantastic Newfoundland-themed graphic tees that are legitimately cool and anything but touristy. From simple 'Bayman' or 'Come From Away' declarations, to stylized illustrations of the zany Rawlins Cross intersection, to an owl that says 'what?' instead of 'who?', I loved them all. I mean, Godzilla versus the Puffin? This is just really rad stuff in a really beautiful space. The rest of the shop is a fantastic mixed bag of unique products. There's more refined fashions for both men and women along with ridiculously good gift shopping. Again, this is not a tourist trap so don't expect too much in the way of coloured row houses, but there's plenty of other goodies ready to catch your eye.

This, along with the colors, gives her pottery such a perfect earthy, coastal feel that I absolutely love.

She packaged my 5 plates perfectly as well, and they even arrived early. What a happy surprise! I will definitely continue to monitor her shop for more of her amazing pottery!

Besides the BrewPub action, there's the Plantation artist shops, the Mallard cottage, and other small businesses. I found nearby Petty Harbour more interesting and not that much further away by car. Quidi Vidi's harbour is known as "The Gut". Located in Quidi Vidi is the Quidi Vidi Battery Provincial Historic Site. The latter honors some French and British military history, while the Mallard Cottage and harbour references sporta a deep fishing outport history.
