So the thrift store is still well organized and nice yet it has changed from how it was the way I…read moreremember it. There was less finds in clothing and some items were overpriced when I went there. Yet I was able to find some good deals. I found a silver Scottish thistles brooch with purple crystals vintage for $2. Two giant authentic crystal goblets for $2 each instead of the usual 9-$10 each if I bought them new. Service was good to so so. I think they need to go over their items in jewelry and accessories thoroughly and price them according to their estimated value. Some of them were items I could buy at the Dollar Tree new for $1.25. The vintage brooches there are priced fairly and worth checking out.

Friendly, lots to look at and reasonable prices certainly worth a look and who knows what you may…read morefind.

Well we were on the island for a day and decided to see if it was still there. We drove up and there was a window boarded up and it looked deserted. Upon a second look and one car in the parking lot we saw it was open and decided to hop in and give them some love. We were greeted warmly by a cashier donning a mask, which I was happy to see. We went up and down all the aisles of this old school grocery store. They have just about anything you'd need, including for the beach. We saw the cutest seashell nightlight with a seahorse etched on it and had to have it. Not a big purchase, but at least some support. When this crazy pandemic clears and we feel we can safely stay a few days this will be our go to for any needed groceries.

Siren's Cove is locally owned and has friendly service. It is a smaller store filled with practical items you might need that you forgot to pack to beach items to souvenirs to kitschy items. I was pleased to find a good selection of postcards. I mail a lot and they aren't the easiest to find and I did not see them in the other shops. If you are looking for something, Siren's Cove likely has what you need.

Like I said before my dogs have been inside your store for many years so you recently decided to follow a law that that is almost never implemented.

Not a big deal... there are Numerous stores and restaurants here in the island that welcome our dogs.

Unsurprisingly, I found a book for my new bookcase. If you have nothing to trade, you can still find great titles here at a really great price.
