This place is just amazingly neatly packed with all sorts of antiques... old metal wind up toys - oyster shell serving platters - mahjong sets - black and white photos that my friend can sort through for hours/I think they're dreadfully boring after the first five - kitchen tools - rings - chandeliers - glass bottles - necklaces - watches. If you like to collect things and don't have any room in your house then don't come here! You'll be in trouble.

I came here to celebrate my mother's birthday since antiquing is one of her favorite activities,…read morebut unfortunately, this establishment was a major letdown. While the store had a wide selection of items, many of them were extremely overpriced for the condition they were in. I've visited antique shops across the country, and the value here simply didn't match the asking prices. The biggest issue, however, was the customer service. The staff were not only unhelpful but outright rude. While testing a typewriter I was considering purchasing, a woman abruptly stopped me from tapping aggressively through the glass, telling me not to touch it--despite there being no signage indicating it was off-limits. If I'm going to spend money at your business, I expect to be treated with basic respect. Sadly, that was not the case here. I won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this shop to others.

This is exactly the type of antiques store I like to roam around…read more This is the opposite of one of those antique stores that you go into and you're immediate reaction is: "Oh... goodness... am I appropriately dressed for this antique store?" You know... like one of those antique stores that you walk around in like you're trying to loot an abandoned convenience store full of zombies and if you make one noise it will wake up all the zombies. You know... those antique stores where you really daintily flip over one of the price tags, realize that the glass vase you're looking at is priced at $1475 and want to immediately leave but you continue looking around the store because you feel it would be rude to immediately leave even though you know you're not gonna be able to afford anything. This is a store that seems to be made out of an old residence. There are twists and turns. There are step ups, and further step ups. There's a basement that's sort of hidden in and on the right. It's definitely a treasure hunt, and I found most of the prices to be pretty fair all things considered. You won't believe this... but I ended up buying a clock. A pretty nice Seikosha (Japanese Seiko) pendulum clock that was on a 25% sale in an individual consigners booth. Oh yes... the store is made up of consigners booths which is something I've always liked. To me, it means that if one consigner booth is priced a little high, I still have so so many more booths to look at with different pricing levels. Also, different people collect different things. So for instance, the booth I found the clock in, I could tell that this consigner appreciated clocks, cause he had 2-3 more up for sale. All in all, I will definitely be back to this store when I'm in Annapolis. It might be one of my favorites in that area.

I was in Stevensville with my daughter and grandchildren and entered this cute shop. We were very…read moreimpressed with all the different items they had for sell by local artists; pillows, books, jewelry, oils, soaps, art supplies, wax/wax warmers, painted shoes, paintings, wood carvings, stones, and so many items I can't name them all here. It was great having a wide variety to pick from! The owner was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful! She even called one of the artists to answer my daughter's question about the exact content in the artisanal wax due to allergies. The paintings and home decor items were unique and representative of the charming community. There were multiple rooms and one even showcased some beautiful paintings. We made several purchases and will definitely visit next time we are in the area!

Maybe I'm just not a good critic of local art, but I really wasn't impressed. I was in…read moreStevensville on a Sunday afternoon, just browing some of the local shops and enjoying a lazy Sunday, saw the sign for this place proclaiming that they had a wide variety of artists, so I thought I'd check it out. Once inside, instead of exciting local art, I found a lot of jewelry, soaps, and a LOT of photgraphs. That was about it. They had a sign in the back of the store indicating that there was more art that way, but all I found was more soaps. Nothing really jumped out at me to say "you MUST take me home!" To top it off, the proprietor kept following me around, not-so-discreetly acting like he was reviewing the books, straightening a display, or some other mundane task, but I really got the feeling that he was suffocating me, perhaps thinking I was going to steal something. When I decided to leave the store, another man (who I assume was the proprietor's friend) said to me, "You can't leave, you need to buy something." Well....yes, I can leave, and no, I don't need to buy anything.

We bought a ring holder/stand so we would have a way to keep our rings from falling down the drain. We loved it so much, we bought multiple for family and friends (a great gift for those recently engaged). We also had custom dog bowls made. Doug instantly knew a great design where they could stamp little paw prints along the rim of the bowls. Everything we have gotten from them has been great. It's all very high quality, reasonably priced (considering everything is hand made locally; remember, it's not Target), and eloquently designed. We are always excited to see what is out on display and can't wait to get more from them!

Local by Design opened in May 2016 and I am so sad that they were not listed on Yelp prior to Annapolis' busy summer tourist season (soon to be followed by the busy Navy-football-games-and-boat-show-weekends season). This store is delightful and if I was an impulse shopper I would have gone broke today and filled my car with serene water colors, fun jewelry, transitional upholstery furniture, upcycled art work, practical pottery and pop art posters. Local by Design features the artwork of other 50 local artists that use all sorts of mediums. The art here ranges from super subtle, traditional and classic to zany, wild and fun. I enjoyed all of it! Even if you aren't shopping for something on your walls, there is plenty of other great stuff here for the home, for yourself and for gifts. Also, this store offers a little snapshot into the cultural icons of Annapolis and the surrounding area - USNA, sailing, steamed crabs alongside National Bohemian beer, oysters, blue herons, anchors, etc.

Upon entering I felt like I had been in the store before . . . and I had, in its old Georgetown location. That must have been quite awhile ago because American Holiday has since relocated to an Old Bank in Saint Michael's. The store has a dark, cozy and expensive boutique feel to it although many of the items seem reasonably priced. I love the quirkiness of the faux-taxidermied stuffed bear heads, ohh, only if I was cool enough to hang one of those whimsical, grizzlies in my house. We looked at some of the games and knick-knacks and I thought seeing the old, albeit not that old, bank vault was cool. The old night deposit is still there too.
