I bought the cutest little door mat that says "Love shack" for moi "surf shack" & it's just so cute at my front door it hurts. I found several other things I want very badly but I didn't have room in my car. So I had to go back to moi "Love shack surf shack" & drop some stuff off so I could come back & purchase more items.

We were in St. Pete for the weekend and decided to check out the Corey Avenue Sunday Market. So…read moreglad we did, or we never would have stumbled upon the Coastal Cottage store on the street. As we were leaving the market, we passed by the store a second time. The merchandise in the windows looked cute, so we popped in. Wow! I was surprised at how big the store was. There were so many rooms! With so much merchandise. And it wasn't tacky souvenir type merchandise. This was really cool home decor, gifts, jewelry, art, and furniture -- all with a beach theme. If you're looking for nice, beach-themed merchandise, this is the place to go. You could decorate and furnish your entire beach house with this store's inventory. Super impressive! A++++!

This locally owned antique shop may be tiny, but the proprietor takes a great deal of care when…read moreselecting the inventory; he tends to stock smaller items of good quality rather than a large inventory of random and uninteresting items that you often see over and over again at other antique shops. The prices are very good, whether it be for funky old jewelry, a camera, an unusual carving or bizarre postcard. It's a perfect place to visit among the other antique places nearby, especially when you are making a day of it, and you might get a good conversation too. LGBT friendly, charming, honest.

Walking around Vintage Marche can turn into an all day event. It was recommended by a former client…read moreof mine. It's a large storefront that's adjacent to a connecting coffee shop with additional items. It can be overwhelming as there are MANY sections to view. Upon entry are their small vintage pieces and jewelry. There are at least three staff members ready to flag down if you want to look at an item inside one of the cases. The prices do range depending on the age of the item, as well as the commodity. More rare items will naturally be priced higher. I didn't allow myself to thoroughly browse as my friend and I were fatigued from the work week, but I did walk away with a small glass dachshund, gorgeous black chandelier earrings, and a faux diamond necklace. It will be a great statement piece for a night out. I was told that the shop is only open the first Saturday of every month, but I would double check on the accuracy of their hours of operation.

After calling them to see if the pieces were ready, we came back to glaze our pieces. We were met by Kyle, who was rude from the moment we walked in.

When we asked if we can do it ourselves, Kyle was dismissive and made us feel bad for wanting to do something we looked forward to doing.

I honestly can not stop talking about The Hive Pottery studio. The owner, employees and members are…read moreall so friendly. Everyone is willing to help each other to further their skills. The studio offers a wide array of classes and the skills you learn can make you a professional potter because these teachers are seriously that good. If not interested in taking classes then you can do a studio membership. The membership is the most affordable pottery membership in the area and the studio is open 7 days a week with hours as late as 8:30pm. However, once you see all the work done in classes you will want to take a class and that's okay, they will pause your membership while you take a class.

Recently moved to St Pete Beach and wanted some Adirondack-style chairs for the back yard. I'd…read moredriven by Island Time on numerous occasions so decided to stop in. The chairs are extremely high quality. They are made from a material that has the texture, weight and strength of a dense wood, but is synthetic plastic (HPDE) that comes in a large number of colors, and is made from 90% recycled material. The color is not a surface coating, it is manufactured into plastic, so it will not flake off or fade. The hardware is 316 stainless so it will not rust in the salt air. The owner negotiated a fair price with me for two adult chairs and a child chair and delivered them for free the next day. Since it was a surprise, he additionally told me that if my wife decided she'd prefer any of the other colors after seeing the selections I had made, that even if it were colors he'd have to order and manufacture, he'd come swap them out later for me free of charge. These are not the garbage you see in front of Home Depot for $20. Those are cheap formed plastic that will fade, blow away and/or crack in the Florida sun and heat. These high quality chairs probably weigh a solid 50 pounds, so they're substantial. You can order a number of options, such as high, low, foot rests, ottomans, two attached to a center table with or without umbrella, so on and so forth. It sounds like the owner will make just about anything you want if you need something custom. Loving mine, and we feel like it's island time every night we watch the sun set over the water from them.
