Super fun store on Bay Street in downtown Port Orchard. They moved South down the main drag right…read moreinto the downtown area. Handmade with Love is a combination gift shop and also an arts-and-crafts class facility. They offer all sorts of classes for reasonable prices to make fun things! Last month my wife took the crochet class with her sister to learn some basics of crotchet. But while there, she saw the "Make a glass and bead windchime" class so signed us both up. Today was the class - and I have to say it was a lot of fun! They provide all the "parts and pieces and tools to do the job" and seemed really well prepared for us. We each made our own windchime ($35 or so each - very reasonable). The instructions were simple to follow, with lots of assistance on anything that wasn't clear. I was the only guy in the room, but it was a lot of fun - I helped some of the ladies use the crimp tools to crimp the nylon line used in the windchime's construction. Loved the results - it was a fun time spent - really nice folks. Anne ended up buying another kit to take home. If you like doing crafting things, just stop in and see what's on the schedule for upcoming events - and of course they also have "pre-made" items for sale as well for home or gifts. It was a fun hour spent there today!!

If you're exploring Bainbridge Island, Millstream is one of those places you absolutely HAVE to…read morestep into. This place is a really fun little shop packed with all kinds of unique things. Thank local artwork, hand blown glass pieces, jewelry, home decor, and a bunch of quirky things you didn't know you needed until you see them. The store feels a bit like a small art gallery mixed with a gift shop. There are beautiful paintings on the walls, colorful glass pieces hanging from the ceiling. (See pics, the jellyfish was absolutely STUNNING) Somebody please buy this for Cody!!! I went in thinking I'll just take a quick look, then suddenly I had spent twenty minutes wandering around noticing new things on every shelf. If you're visiting Bainbridge, or even a local you must definitely stop in. It's a great spot to find something unique and a good reminder of how creative the local artist community is on Bainbridge! Support local businesses folks!

They have a couple stores connected so there are fun photos, clothes and definitely Bainbridge/Seattle and Washington souvenirs. Definitely check them out when you're on the island.
