We will definitely be back next time we come vacation here. This shop seriously feels like it came out of the pages of a book, stacks of books, full shelves of old and newer books! Also arm chairs if you wish to peruse your books before buying. There was nothing I didn't like honestly. all books are half price and there was an additional sale so great prices!

If you love the coastal lifestyle, you really must check out this beautiful store near the bridge…read moreto Port Aransas. My sister and I stopped in and I was amazed, at not only the beautiful hand-crafted furniture, art and accessories, but the elegant design and layout of the space. Despite the industrial exterior and the proximity to fresh bait, the interior feels like a high-end retail environment. Think Crate and Barrel, Restoration Hardware, or Chip and Joanna Gaines' Magnolia complex in Waco. There's plenty of space, ample light and items ranging from a few dollars to thousands are all thoughtfully displayed. Stepping back outside was a bit of a culture shock! The furniture is the star of the show, and H. Lancaster's creativity and craftsmanship are evident. Whether repurposing familiar items in clever ways, unique designs, or featuring the grain of a gorgeous piece of wood, you will be impressed. There's no mass produced, laminated particle board here. It's quality, solid wood "investment" furniture. You can buy off the floor, but it looks like some folks order custom pieces too. I was delighted to see a gallery devoted to local artists, including Portland's Dinah Bowman. Dinah is famous for her fish prints, but she has other pieces as well. The collection includes original paintings as well as prints and greeting cards, featuring lovely beach scenes, boats, local landmarks, families playing in the sand. It's the kind of art you'd want in your beach house, or the perfect vacation remembrance. After you go through the main store, you can also go through the (un-air-conditioned) workshop and upstairs to another showroom. If you're not in shape it might be a bit of a workout, but it's worth it. I also appreciate H. Lancaster's dedication to recycling, reclaiming and repurposing wood and other materials. It's not only good for the environment, it obviously inspires creativity. After a visit here, it just might inspire you too!

In all the times that I've been to Port Aransas, I have never stopped into this museum. What a…read morehidden jewel! My son and I spent at least an hour here. That's saying a lot, since this is a tiny little museum. It is in a very nice modern building. But, the layout makes you feel like you're in a refurbished old house. It might just be me. Because it is so small, you feel like you need to read every little placard there is. Each one of them had something really interesting to add to our understanding of the island. I really enjoyed the posters with the Port Aransas timeline. I had no idea that Port Aransas was so recent in the scheme of Texas development. My favorite thing that I learned was that when the Civil War broke out, everyone deserted the island. How cool is that! I also liked reading about the hurricanes that ripped up the island and the special breed of people who made and make their homes there. If you're into fishing, you will love the display of fishing rods and fishing lures. They are displayed in one room very nicely. Bottom line... don't miss this museum. It is definitely worth your while.

Upper floor is admin spaces. If you're looking to fill a quick time slot in your schedule, this museum may well be your jam.
