This area does not have a whole lot of parking so if you go here when the island is busy you may need to park your car a bit farther up the road to get out to check out the store. Unique and pleasing to visit... if you are in this area of Vashon Island I recommend checking out this shop.

This is a huge place to go browsing and shopping while visiting Vashon Island. I went there with…read moreSteve and the sister-in-laws and we spent quite a bit of time pouring over all of the merchandise here. They have men and women's clothing to check out but since I am fairly picky with clothing I did not find anything that quite hit me. But there was plenty of other stuff that I liked. The home decor selection is what really drew me in. Their candle selection I really enjoyed as the primary draw on the home decor front. And of course candy... what would I do without that? They had some great caramels here as well. The f=general vibe with this place is country chic so that is what to pick up from when going here. They also sell pumpkins, peaches, blueberries and more when they are all in season of course. Definitely a place to make a stop at when visiting the island.

Maybe I'm wrong because I haven't been all over this island yet, but from my experience this might…read morebe the most quaint business in town. I was visiting for a special Yelp event and this place was recommended as a must to visit and they were so very right. As we pulled up in the parking lot, the first thing I saw was the only thing I wanted- a place to sit in the sun and this place has a long patio with two different areas to sit and they are gorgeous. One side had red Adirondack chairs all facing out for a nice view of Little Bird Garden across the way. The other had padded outdoor seating where you could sit and enjoy the sun. So ladies, if your hubbies aren't into shopping, they can hang out on the patio and chill on the patio. Inside there are fun little nooks. This place lives up to the "country store" name because they sell bulbs for flowers, candles, souvenirs and home design items. They also have men and women's clothing and there's a section for old time candy and fun kitchen items. It reminded me of one of those old mercantile shops you see in westerns or movies from the 40s and 50s where they have a little bit of everything and what they didn't have, they could order if you picked out what you want from the Sears Roebuck catalogue. So utterly charming. This place will give you the cozy feels, so you really should check it out!

There all kinds of fun stuff here. Lots of candles.... a nice variety actually to get whiff of to determine if they are going to be a good fit in your home. There were some fun books also... a little bit on the coffee table book side. Lots of other items to make your home more personable besides those things. What really won me over was their beverage selection. While the inventory is small what they had was unique. I found several brands of tonic water and other beverages where I did not recognize the brand so I purchased some of those. So far so good there. The tonic water was very good! I also bought some chocolate candies that are relatively local. They are from Battle Ground, WA. I saw three different flavors and got the spicy hot one. It was very good and indeed had a kick to it! A very nice stop this was and I'd love to return again!

In the end, one of those stores actually did have the game in stock, and I never would have known about it if not for the helpful folks at Lost Star. Next time I'm in the neighborhood I definitely plan to stop by!

Charlie is super friendly and helpful. She was able to make good recommendations based on games we already play and we left with Root. I was back the next day to look at what Root expansions were in stock. Again, Charlie was there to help and talk about games. Look, I've been playing D&D since 1980 so I know a thing or two about game stores. Lost Star is a great game store. They have a large selection of modern table top games to go along with a sizable D&D, Pathfinder, Starfinder, and Star Wars RPG collection. This is bolstered by locally made dice boxes and other accessories for gamers. Totally worth a trip across the bridge if you live in Tacoma. If you're in Gig Harbor already, you're all set.
