The cutest lil bookstore in downtown historic Fernandina Beach…read more We were strolling along the area after having a meal at the Salty Pelican and I couldn't help but stop by this bookstore. If you know me, I have a huuuuge soft spot for bookstores and this was no exception! Walking in, it had a great layout and a variety of books. There was one staff member who was super friendly and helpful. I didn't end up buying a book (I have way too many and didn't want to add any to my luggage for my flight home) but I ended up buying a postcard with a wonderful illustration of the view right outside. 5 star recommend, support independent bookstores!

Live music was playing, the atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and there's even a charming bistro inside! The staff was super friendly, and the shop is full of unique books and gift ideas that make it hard to leave empty-handed.

I laughed so hard and was so happy to have found this wonderful store with such amazing people! I can't wait to come back to this island and this store!

I just remembered I forgot to add this amazing little shop! One of the highlights of our Sunday-…read morefun-day trip! We had stopped around the corner for a brewery and I saw all the shops of Redfern Village and decided to turn in and I cannot resist a Crystal store! I saw the name and ohh-ahh'd and pulled into a parking spot. It was raining, so we hustled out of the car and then had to run back for required masks. I lapped the store twice picking up various crystals and had to restrain myself greatly! Prices were excellent and I loved the huge selection! It's a small store and surprisingly busy even with the rain- but as often as customers were walking in- some were exiting with their new purchases. I bought a gorgeous piece of malachite- polished on one side and raw stone on the other. I also found a point of ruby zoisite that I couldn't resist- they had several amazing pieces of this stone that I wanted to scoop up! I think I also grabbed some Santo Palo for the house & a couple of candles. They have an extensive selection of semi-precious stones, polished and raw, candles, tarot cards, jewelry, smudging tools and more! Over-all- great shopping experience and I will be sure to pop back in next time I visit the island!

I'm giving this location 2 stars because of how uncomfortable an employee made our visit…read more I was there with my kids in the children's area, which has a small kid-sized table. They brought a few toys over to the table so they could look at them while I was sitting with them. An employee complained to the manager about it, then started hovering around us, taking items from the table when the kids stepped away, and repeatedly asking where things had gone. I told him clearly that we would put everything back before we left, but the hovering continued. I completely understand employees needing to keep track of merchandise, and if the store has a policy against bringing toys to the children's table, that could have simply been explained to us once. Instead, the way it was handled made us feel watched and unwelcome. The interaction made me uncomfortable enough that I decided not to make a purchase and left instead. For a store with a dedicated children's area and kid-sized table, I expected a much more family-friendly experience.

The staff waited until they opened to tell us they didn't get any in this week's shipment. I'm sure the employees are as sick of us asking if they have any in stock as we are of running around trying to score one for our kid, but come on - a little courtesy would go a long way. I'm already wasting too much of my day as it is on this futile search, so please, at least give us a heads up so we aren't wasting an hour in line for nothing.
