    My girlfriend loves to stop at these places whenever we get away. Lots of really cool vintage…read moreclothing and plenty of other things as well. She said she got some really excellent deals. If you are in the area check them out.

    This shop has something for everyone but it's especially good if you have a festive occasion to go…read moreto and you don't feel like spending hundreds of dollars. The men's section takes up about 1/4 of the store and children's section less but you can find great used jeans including Levi's and some designer brands in a big range of sizes. You can even find housewares here if you like vintage decor. I recommend this store to anyone coming from the city or out of state because it's the last vestige of the more wild and arty culture that used to thrive in Gloucester in the 70's thanks in part to the store owner himself. The place really should be a historical landmark because of how much it has improved the culture of Gloucester. The owner is known for these incredibly imaginative fashion shows that over the years have raised money for good causes like the restoration of city hall downtown. His store is like a public art piece that's totally authentic. If you are an appreciator of that then you will enjoy supporting this business.

    No longer closed, but open under new management, very friendly, helpful proprietress, jewelry,…read moregifts, original art, and still lots of minerals. Be sure to see their salt lamps. Starboard Collective seems to be selling their work here also.

    This Store is MAGICAL! It's like stepping into Narnia…read more I find it funny how bent up some people are because the wonderful girls who run the store have turned it into something more beautiful then it used to be. A long time ago this shop was just another generic hippie new age incense rock shop that sold ugly hippie clothing..and those are a dime a dozen. If that's a kind of shop you prefer, then unfortunately there's a store just like that across from this one. Now this store.. it's magical.. and dazzling..! They still have cool rocks and fossils, but girls behind the counter are so knowledgeable about the origins, meanings, and uses for each stone. They still sell clothes, but it's stylish clothes that are fair trade! Pretty clothes that don't make you look like you fell off a gypsy caravan haha. The back of the store they turned into a wonderful gallery space, with handmade watercolors and oil paintings. They're even creating amazing wire wrapped jewelry! One of the girls does amazing things with very old vintage keys! Everything is locally made! Oh! and they sell seashells! There was a store in Rockport with the flirty seashell captain, but he closed. One of these young ladies worked for him and decided to bring in the same quality shells he had. Theres a silver jewelry down the street who also sells the same exact shells.. but cost 5 times more.. ridiculous! Also.. for those ignorant customers.. This store has had the same owner for a while now, he just had the smarts to let these wonderful artists change up the look of the store to set them apart from those other stores. Thank you girls! -Karen

    A group of friends and I stopped here recently while visiting and walking around…read moreManchester-by-the-Sea. There were a lot of charming and beautiful items, but the customer service was abysmal. We went in 15 minutes before closing time, and immediately upon walking in, the woman behind the counter gave us a dirty look and reminded us, curtly and a little too loudly, of that fact. OK, fine -- we figured we would browse quickly and be on our merry way. We moved down to the lower level of the shop to browse. While we were browsing, another woman who worked there came in to the upper level and asked the first woman (still behind the register) if anyone else was there. The first woman said -- loudly enough for us, her potential paying customers, to hear -- that she had told us they were closing, but we wouldn't leave. Despite this woman doing her best to prevent a sale, one of my friends did end up buying a set of julep glasses for $100. You'd think that would alleviate some of this woman's pique. Yet as soon as the last of us had cleared the door of the shop, she audibly slammed and locked it behind us. I guess courtesy and grace cost more than $100 here. Spend your money elsewhere.

    This place used to be great. Although like any consignment shop it has always been hit or miss,…read morethere were a lot of interesting and unique items for the home, priced very competitively. Clothing was always carried, but the percentage of clothing relative to everything else has increased dramatically. The prices are outrageously high. No bargains at all. Combined with unfriendly staff, it's really not worth it.
