They have every imaginable seaside scene, in various sizes and color schemes. Nothing really abstract, which is fine by me as we go for a realistic beachy painting every time. I think this location is related somehow to a gallery in Faneuil Hall, in downtown Boston... Their selection of frames you can pick from is extensive. And the frame is included! They've been in business for over 35 years and I hope for 35 more...

Ok, I just have to tell you about this little Halloween shop I stumbled into while in Salem,Mass…read more It's seriously so adorable! They have cool stuff including cute clothes/bags/hats w/ fun prints,greeting cards that make you laugh,& even books! The vibe is full of Halloween fun! The staff are super nice & they act like they actually want to be there, which makes the experience even better. I ended up leaving w/ way more than I planned but honestly it's impossible not to. The prices weren't too bad which made it even harder not to buy something.If you're a fan of all things cute and Halloween-y this place is def the place for you!

I go to Salem annually and this is the first time I stumble upon this cute little shop downtown…read more It's full of fun, quirky gifts, candles, décor, and other artsy little things you don't really see in the typical tourist stores. The staff was friendly and helpful. It's fun to wander through: it's perfect if you want a unique gift or a cool souvenir. I would have went on a shopping spree, but many things were a bit pricy.

I love this place. Being a tour director, I get to…read moretravel quite a lot and see many gift stores. This store, however, ranks high on my list for great -reasonably priced!!- gifts. I think Jennifer is the owner; she's very friendly. Her turqoise Adirondack chairs are outside. The whole place is a feast for the eye. Today I purchased my "Whale shaped" butter dish. Bottle openers, coasters, jewelry, clothing (gorgeous caftans, by the way) You name it...they've got a big mermaid thing going on! Definitely worth to take a look.

Bought two beautiful pair of earrings at a very reasonable price. So happy I found this store.read more

I didn't buy anything but I wanted to!…read more I spent much of yesterday crystal shopping as I was hunting for a new ring. I stepped into this special space and told the older gentleman what I was looking for. He was so kind and opened every case for me to try rings on while I had my son in his infant carrier. He made me laugh and out me at ease. I kept apologizing for trying on every ring because I wanted to find "the one." It didn't end up being at this store but I would go back and certainly send folks his way! What a kind soul with a beautiful collection of jewels. Get your booty there ASAP!

My mom and I toured Beauport when we visited Gloucester for a day a week or so ago and it was one…read moreof the many highlights of our Cape Ann trip. The house was built in 1908 as the summer home of interior decorate and antique collector Henry Davis Sleeper. Sleeper designed this unique house, where he lived until his death, when it was bough by Charles and Helena Woolworth McCann. They preserved most of Sleeper's designs and decor (making only a few modifications) until their heirs donated the house to Historic New England in 1947. The house is full of incredible decor: a kitchen that utilized 17th century paneling from his mother's ancestral home, a central hall with an incredible amber glass cabinet, a dining room with incredible views of the Harbor, an Octagon Room, and so much more. We reserved our tour ahead of time, and three others joined our tour. Our guide was wonderful, and we learned so much about this unique house, Henry Davis Sleeper, and the McCanns. Our time in Gloucester was wonderful, but Beauport was one of the highlights of our time there. It's a really incredible house, and I'm so glad we had time in our itinerary for a tour!

My girlfriend and I toured Beauport, the Sleeper-McCann House, on Friday, August 8th…read more The house was beautiful and we enjoyed the wonderful interior designs, but unfortunately our tour was tainted by our rude, disrespectful, and unprofessional tour guide. Shortly upon beginning the tour, our guide, Alberta Hill, made an extremely rude and uncalled-for comment, slut-shaming and embarrassing my girlfriend in front of the entire tour group for her clothing. Her outfit was not that revealing- it was a hot day and she had on shorts and a tank top- but even if it were, it would not grant a tour guide the right to treat a guest in this manner. It's sad that what was otherwise such a fun experience was impacted by an insensitive guide who made my girlfriend feel uncomfortable and self-conscious. It's disappointing that Historic New England would employ someone with such an old-fashioned mentality, someone who would go out of her way to police another woman's body and enforce traditional gender norms. This is especially troubling to see at the Beauport Sleeper-McCann House, a space that was once a sanctuary for the queer Henry Davis Sleeper and a pinnacle of early individual expression. I would expect those employed by the Beauport house to reject moral conservatism and embrace personal freedoms and expression, but sadly Alberta did not.

Very nicely decorated store with a bright and airy feel to it. Tons of plant options and earthy…read moretype decor items to complement them. I'm not a plant lover, but my friend is and really wanted to check it out, and I liked their unique look from the outside that made it different than the touristy spots all around Salem that I was getting a little sick of. I liked their selection of books and home decor. I loved a crystal tree they had and purchased it for a new display area I'm working on at home. I'd enjoyed my shopping experience so far and was excited about my purchase, but the staff member that rang me up was notably unfriendly. He ignored me for almost a full minute, continuing what looked like a craft project, before finally acknowledging me and directing me to the appropriate checkout station (he was standing squarely between two so I couldn't tell where to go). He ignored my polite attempts at small talk and seemed to rush the entire transaction so I would go away as soon as possible. I'd rate the store higher but was really off put by how I was treated, and other reviews note a similar attitude...I was starting to think I'd read into it, but this is clearly a trend. No employees greeted us or asked if we needed any help the entire time we browsed, in stark contrast to every other boutique I visited that day going above and beyond to make me feel welcome in their shop. Nice selection of items and pretty to look at, but be prepared for a dose of attitude.

I really liked the items in the store and nearly just bought two $45 candles. However, my nine…read moreyear-old niece went to sit on a leather sofa ( a cheap one that would be in a doctors office ) and got yelled at by a blue haired male staff member for sitting on the seat quietly. Based on the other reviews, I've seen clearly this is an issue in the store with staff attitude. I definitely will not be returning. And before I get a response that there was a rope across blocking the seat, there was but it was not visible as it was pushed all the way down and under the blankets. They moved it back up after. Either way there was no need for the attitude. She wasn't on the blankets or touching anything.

I didn't want to leave, but sadly, all good things must come to an end, but not before I filled a bag full of happiness! The shop owners, Leslie and Terry, are very friendly and whimsical, and also very knowledgable about what they are selling and the people (mostly somewhat local friends and family in the arts/crafts world) who make what they are selling!
