They have jewelry, records, ties, coats, fur, men's clothing, women's clothing, plus sizes, shoes, retro antiques, a collection of national geographic magazines, and so many random nicknacks. It's fun to sift through everything. The person working was so nice, giving me a tour, had a conversation about the green line, and offered to play any records I was interested in, to make sure I liked the tracks. Pricing varies, and is reasonable. I very much recommend! The owner also takes items to different New England events/conventions, so keep an eye out for them!

Maybe because of this I was hoping for a mystical music hum in the background, but that was not the case. Gratefully I already have a uniquely resonant site for that kind of vital soul sustenance, so I wasn't disappointed. At the front of the shop, the owner, Stacy, was charming -- warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about jewelry creation, repair, and sharing her craft. The store itself includes a workshop for classes upstairs and feels more like an immersive experience than a traditional shop: think multiple levels of tables spilling over with beads and baubles, a cornucopia of crystals and color. It feels like an irreplaceable connection nexus for the crafting community, especially experienced jewelry makers, though beginners are clearly folded into Stacy's care just as gently. My purchases were modest, as the pricing was a bit beyond what I'd planned, but there was no pressure to do more. All in all, a vibrant space worth exploring. Speaking of exploring, my next stop might be the Sufi lodge across the street, it's hard not to feel there's a sacred reason for our paths intersecting now.
