Last evening, I was sold a moldy bag by Vendors Plaza!…read more It wasn't until later when I opened it that I noticed there was a pungent "petting zoo" smell. I eventually figured out it was mold and it had gotten on most of what I had with me on my trip by then. So I will be tossing and replacing everything including my luggage when I get home I guess. Hundreds of dollars worth of stuff I'll need to have replaced, including some sentimental things. My flight left St. Thomas this morning, so there's nothing I can do about it. Otherwise, I would go and ask for my money back. I am now traveling back home with all kinds of stuff that has mold and I don't know what to do about it. I considered tossing my things in SJU, but I was advised not to do something that can't be undone like that. I did email the St. Thomas health department and mention that I was sold a moldy bag in Vendors Plaza and that that's not only unethical business practice, but a health concern. While traveling all day, I have felt sick -- most certainly from exposure to the mold. Vendors Plaza cannot be selling people merchandise that has mold in it. That cannot be acceptable. If I return to St. Thomas, I will not be spending any more of my money at Vendors Plaza!

My sisters and I stumbled upon this cute and interesting consignment shop while sitting in the park…read morewaiting for the ferry back to St. Thomas. I am always down for exploring a thrift store, flea market, or consignment shop and when I spied Encore, I was ecstatic. We climbed the short staircase outside the colorful building, opened the door, and emerged into a small treasure trove of new and gently used shoes, clothing, accessories, and home decor. There was so much to look at and so little time! Beautiful designer shoes, sexy dresses, exquisite pieces of jewelry as well as casual wear. Prices were reasonable and there was something to fit every budget. Although I didn't find the hoop earrings I was hoping for, I saw many other nice things and wished we'd had more time to try things on and explore the shop. I left with a lovely faux pearl bracelet for $5. The owners are a couple who relocated to St. John from the mainland. The husband, Mr. Needham, was tending shop when we dropped in. He is a nice gentleman, well-spoken and welcoming. When I return to St. John, I'll make sure I have several hours to spend in Encore BEFORE I go to the beach.

Dead center is the flea market and behind the flea market is the opening to the beach The flea market has an inviting front vendor called indice or indicepr serving up whole hog lechon, finally got my fix of lechon where they offer the skin, I will review this vendor later in detail, inside the canopy's there are small vendors, churrasco types, guacho types, honey, pastries, hand rollled cigar makers onsite, jewelry makers and several other vendors under this fairly large tent Very interesting spot to hit up when your in the area, again first Sunday of the month not every Sunday Try this place out you may find something you need or want Price - depends on what your buying food was moderately priced Service ***** Ambiance *****

I have come to categorize the K-mart here on island as a necessary evil...I go here for a lot of…read morethings but I hate that I have to go here for things, however if they weren't here, I would definitely be at a loss....a dysfunctional love-hate relationship that is oh-so-fitting to this island!! On the one hand, they DO have some awesome deals sometimes! I have gotten some great workout clothes and running shoes here for awesome prices, and just stocked up on pillows that were also on sale! I got some carpet-remnant rugs that really were dirt cheap, and I love them! If you can get things on sale here, its a great bargain. Also some of their food items are randomly cheaper than other stores, like dry goods and such, so cruise the couple of food aisles for potential low prices. On the flip side, if you come in here thinking, "I need a shower curtain", or "I need a frying pan"....odds are you are going to be paying out the nose for it...every time I have come here for something specific, I'm blown away by the high prices...for those types of items I try to get used things from friends, people moving off island, the Humane Society thrift store, or Re-Use Emporium, but sometimes I do have to bite the bullet and just get expensive household items here. Be aware of prices and if its not labeled, its probably going to be more painful to ask for a price so just don't buy it. Another negative is the time it takes to go through this store....parking is a pain, just getting here is a pain (Tutu is always crowded and usually has lots of traffic), and getting around in the store is a pain. Checking out you almost always wait for a considerable amount of time, and once I was transferred to THREE DIFFERENT REGISTERS because they were having issues with their card readers...NOT fun....on the other hand, another time a very sweet lady working in electronics waved us over, rang our items up in no time, and was absolutely lovely, I think she was an angel sent from heaven because that usually doesn't happen! A nice/cool thing though is they DO have lots and lots of holiday items for reasonable prices....I just bought A TON of Halloween face paint that was all 50% off....so that is a really nice thing, especially during Christmastime because they do have aisles and aisles full of the festive holiday knick knacks. Very happy about that. So yes, take your chances at K-mart, its very good in some ways and horrid in others....a mixed bag of potential outcomes where you could be leaving feeling awesome at the great deals or robbed at the high prices!
