At the end of the Westport pier, you'll find a claustrophobic cave of treasures, ranging from clothes and apparel, jewelry, souvenirs, shells, stones, toys, magnets, home décor, books, games, puzzles, glassworks, and a lot more, stuffed into every corner, nook and cranny, hanging from the ceiling or dangling from the walls, almost all of it nautical, piratical (is that a word? it should be!) or (Pacific) northwestical in nature. This is the gift shop to end all gift shops; the Tamatebako; the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow...or, at the very least, at the end of the dock. So, take a short walk down a long pier (wait...scratch that, reverse it!) and check out what the basket cases at Basket House have for sale!

They have a lot of fun items and I ended up buying a wooden sticker because the saleslady said, "They really hold up when you put them on your water bottle." Girl, we just met but you know my heart. They have everything from clothing to squishy toys so it's worth a look at. If you go, you'll see the sign but the closer you get, you'll think where's the store? Just keep walking to the end and it will be the building to the right and the door is on the corner. Check it out!

Commonly referred as "tennis leg"-it requires daily icing and further onto rehab, interchanging of ice/heat on the calf area. Found this company and ordered to universal long wrap. Was delivered in 3 days via priority mail. Great, sturdy product which can also be used as a heat pack for lower back pain-which we all get. Total cost inclusive of shipping was $35! Well worth it!! Glad to know as I get older and the odds of strains and sprains naturally increases; I'll have this on hand.
