Whenever I visit Hammonasset…read moreduring the summer, I make a point to stop in at the Little Station afterwards, but it's definitely worth a trip into Madison unto itself! The shop wares are eclectic, whether you're looking for a beach tunic or bag, lotions and lip balms, loose leaf teas, jewelry, candles, perfumes and eau de toilettes... They've got it. There are always special little treats that you just won't see elsewhere, which makes this a great stop if you're looking for stocking stuffers or small gifts. On my most recent visit, they had wildflower confetti: biodegradable confetti containing wildflower seeds, so you can celebrate and garden at the same time! I got a packet of those for my nephew, so hopefully he can have fun planting his own little garden. Highly recommend the Little Station, whether you're just passing through the area or making a special trip of it!

A sure sign of summer is the annual opening of The Little Station at Beech Tree Cottages. It's a…read morecharmer of a shop, the sort of place you can pick up a beach hat or bottle of water on your way to Hammonnasset. But that's never all. Owner Amanda has sweet taste in everything from breezy scarves and sarongs, to Rifle Paper Company Cards (a personal favorite), and cheap and cheerful costume jewels. If you don't know about the Beech Tree Cottages, it's become a popular Shoreline spot for a rustic wedding or family gathering. Either throw your bash on the tented lawn out back, or rent the entire venue, including eight tidy cottages. Their famous CT Roadside BBQ Truck provides a full-on Southern feast, from brisket and pulled pork to corn bread. There are plenty of fancy venues on the Shoreline, but if you're looking for something a bit out-of-the-box, Beech Tree Cottages could be just the ticket.

This was such a beautiful and rare gem to stumble upon!…read more I recently was able to spend some time exploring antique stores around the shoreline, and Old Beautiful was the absolute best. I was greeted by David, the shop owner, and he was impressively helpful and knowledgeable about some ironstone I was interested in. He helped me to make a purchase I know I will have forever and was overjoyed to find. This is not a shop for people interested in knick knacks or faux vintage wares, this is the real deal. Each item is meticulously chosen and the owner clearly has a fantastic eye. I was so relieved to find this shop after spending time in other "antique" shops that left much to be desired. Check this place out if you are interested in aesthetically pleasing and authentic items!

As I neared the windows, I saw that there was actually a business in the building. Having had an…read moreantique business myself in NY, I was looking forward to visiting. That ended as soon as I opened the door. My friend and I were not greeted by the rude gentleman who sat behind the desk. He didn't even respond when I complimented him on a piece. There were two items I wanted to purchase but decided I'd rather deal with people who know how to treat their customers. A friendly demeanor, a knod or smile acknowledging someone has entered your store, can actually produce a sale. Merchants in town agreed that many complain about him. I still love Essex and it's many shops.

I've yet to see if my items will sell, but I'm glad I have this new shop to work with. The owner, Corina, is, apparently, there most days, is friendly, and seems very engaged with her shop & customers. She has a fair process to sell your items & explained it all in detail. The shop itself is full of a variety of items, set up organized. Everyday wear, Formal wear, shoes, accessories, jewelry, and a nice selection of baby/children's clothing in very good condition. I'd shop here as well as consign. I look forward to working with her. Check it out!

"A-OK" I liked this…read morestore, it had a nice mix of selections and designers and was organized in a way that wasn't too overly done, but made sense. The staff was extremely helpful (one of them) or mediocre & preoccupied (the other). I stopped in before a work related dinner as I arrived to town early and had already had some Starbucks, and I was glad I did. I walked away with 3 new tops which I'm thoroughly enjoying. Minus one star for size selection - they carry all 3 "regular" sizes (S/M/L) but she told me more than once that "they usually only send one in that size" and that people often ask for those sizes... so... order more? And minus one more star for price - there were no promotions or sales other than the weird colors from last season, and the products were overpriced compared to what you can get them for online. I liked the ability to try them on, but more than once I hinted I would purchase two more items if I could get a price break somewhere and it was essentially ignored. Their loss!
