I loved this shop! I read a review that the proprietor was not friendly...I found the opposite to be true. She was helpful but did not hover. She answered questions and was very pleasant. The prices were relatively high but her displays and selection of Easter candies were amazing. I was able to choose a few pieces from every bin to make a nice assortment. I didn't have to go to a chain store and buy 15 bags of candy to assemble an assortment and most of the items aren't even found at the big box stores mentioned by another reviewer. Thank goodness there are still people willing to create beauty and aesthetically pleasing spaces for shopping. It would be a sad day if our only choices were big box stores. I recommend this store for its beauty and its delicious candies.

I wish I'd taken a picture of this place to post and put them on the TripAdvisor 'map.' I passed it on my way to the Ferry and stopped on a whim. So glad I did, because it is really wonderful inside. Lots of nautical themed wares, jewelry, candles, clothes, etc. But really nice, individually made things, for the most part. I wish I lived closer and could visit more often. Stop by and find something great for yourself!
