Tons of colorful pottery at reasonable prices. Two dogs will say hello while you browse. If I lived here I would be buying my wedding gifts all the time here. As it was we stopped in thinking we'd buy one bowl and bought an olive tray for every day use, a St. Patrick's Day magnet and a Valentine tray. If you looked at the website ahead of time there are far more items and patterns in the physical store than in the online store.
