What Visitors Say
"What a difference a year makes. Last year the proprietor was kind, friendly and generous with his time and craftsmanship. This year he had a distinctly negative air of stinginess to his demeanor and he was both rude, unaccommodating and dismissive to my wife and I. I will not be going back to this shop again and will cease recommending his place to fellow travelers...not a good feeling."
"Check out the ancient maritime arts in this charming shop. High quality, unique jewelry and nautical antiques. A real hidden gem worth a visit."
"Amazing objects, run the gamut from useful to decorative; antique to just-made. I ordered a knot-work leash made for my little Jack Russell and received it in the mail within the week. It is the strongest, classiest leash ever. I purchased a handmade canvas messenger bag with a knotted strap and striking hand -stitching. It is admired wherever I go."
