There is so much to look at, and every booth has something different. I was very tempted by a beautiful Wizard of Oz snow globe, but at $90 I decided I didn't really need it. They also had a gorgeous dollhouse for $750 that was fun to admire. One of our favorite parts was upstairs, where they have several large, working model train layouts. We spent quite a while watching the trains run--it was fascinating and a really fun surprise. Whether you're looking for antiques, collectibles, or just enjoy browsing, this is definitely worth a stop. We had a wonderful time and would absolutely come back on our next trip to the area!

We visited this shop for the first time today and I was pleasantly surprised at the quantity,…read morequality, and variety of items. The shop is comprised of a small garage and a small house, but I was amazed at how many vintage pieces they managed to squeeze in. I collect vintage tools, and I purchased three items. To put that in perspective, we visited eight other shops in the previous 3 days and I purchased nothing before this visit. I have a fairly extensive collection already and there I am pretty discriminating in what additional items I acquire. We will be back to this shop again in the future.

I moved to the Lakes Region in 1974 and with the advent of turning the mill buildings into places…read moreof commerce I couldn't be more happy. As a parent myself, I always took my young son to Innisfree Bookshop because he loved to look at books geared for him, the stuffed animals, the train set, and so much more. I was always right with him during the times we visited, the staff knew me very well, and I never felt as if I had "nazis" hovering over me EVER. The comments made above by a few people, particularly the person who planned on spending $200 (yeah, right) just show me that SHE was the issue. People who instruct their children well in life, will have well behaved children. It IS as simple as that. Additionally, I have known Bev and Kathy and so many more who are employed there and I would be honored to work with any of them. The Innisfree Bookshop is a professional environment, that any store owner would wish to emulate. In fact, when I opened my own store front in Jaffrey, NH in 2007, I modeled my "in store posture and presence regarding children" after Innisfree Bookshop. I never had a problem! People today need to realize that there are folks from all age demographics including elderly folks trying to purchase items as well. I wonder if the person who vehemently states her case above, and later calling the manager was the same woman who I saw allow her kids to run rampant in the store, nearly colliding with an older person who was oxygen dependent and carried a shoulder bag with same in it? I recall asking that elderly person if she was alright, but further wish I had spoken to that "head in La La land parent" and told them to leash the kid. As a former CNA and Nursing student, and paraprofessional working in the medical industry, I have seen this type of parenting (the lack thereof) and wonder how would the parent handle their child contacting an elderly person causing that dear one to fall and break a hip? Additionally, as a former Vet Tech, I have seen people manage their leashed canines in a more controlled, better behaved fashion. To my way of thinking, people have lost great respect in our times. As a parent, I have always instructed my son PRIOR TO ENTERING ANY ESTABLISHMENT. It doesn't matter what the enterprise "is", I have seen kids running the aisles in Walmart, Shaws, Hannaford and the like, and it is still the same kind of parent of the child whom all the rest of us would like to strangle because they failed to do the very things by virtue of their child's education relative to "courtesy and comportment" in various settings. Children need to be raised to RESPECT their environment, an to respect the personal space of those around them. I always taught my son to be "OTHER ORIENTED", and he has grown to be a very compassionate young adult to this day. Sincerely, Candace Ellen McCabe

This posting is for New Berry's on the Common gift store…read more New Berry's on the Common is a unique gift store offering handcrafted goods, artwork, NH made products, gifts, toys, books, soaps, jewelry, decorations, and vintage merchandise. This shop also features JJ's Breakfast & Lunch Counter which offers casual dining and takeout. This place is a tribute to the former JJ Newberry's store with lunch counter from back in the day. I stopped by New Berry's to browse after eating lunch at JJ's Counter. This place sort of reminds me of Capitol Craftsman in Concord where handcrafted goods, jewelry and artwork are also sold. I did pickup up some cool glasses to wear in a couple of weeks, wink. I will have to stop back when the weather gets warmer.

We asked if they had a bathroom that we could use and were told no, so we had to run her across the street to get her to the bathroom.

I like supporting local businesses, but maybe they should reciprocate by supporting their customers needs. This seems to be a common theme in Wolfeboro.
