I found a great ring at a fair price that I am sure will thrill my wife this Christmas. I'm sure I will shop there again, and they have free parking behind the store, which is a huge plus in St. Michaels.

My husband I wandered into Sea Captain's Cottage to explore this two-story treasure chest. We enjoyed roaming from room to room between the two floors checking out the eclectic merchandise. Some items were antiques and other were inspired from the past. I'm also perpetually on the hunt for items related to Chesapeake Bay heritage and there was plenty of that at Sea Captain's Cottage. We spent quite a bit of time checking out this delightful store and enjoyed our experience.

Not only did they do that for FREE but they also cleaned and polished my wedding rings for FREE!! I couldn't believe how dirty I let it get. My husband was sitting so comfortable in the comfy chair that I basically had to drag him to the cases to give him plenty of ideas for our anniversary. So hard to choose from. Everything is so different from what you typically see in jewelry stores. This place is so very different from the stores you see in the malls. Hopefully he remembers all of my favorites. (I took jewelry selfies just in case and sent them to his mother.)

It's one of those stores that does its best to defy categorization, but they sell great women's clothing, jewelry, books, home goods, home decor, and more. I was inside for no more than 10 minutes and walked out with a fancy candle, a sweater, and a book. It's a charming shop. I'm sure I'd buy quite a bit here if I lived in St. Michaels. Stop by and check it out!

There are lots of gifty stores on the main drag, N. Talbot Street, in Saint Michael's but I think this is one of the best! I particularly enjoyed looking at the kids section including the various stuffed animals, toys and games. I couldn't help myself from flipping through some of the Priscilla Cummings books as I remember when she visited my school as a kid. I've been a fan of Chadwick the Crab ever since! I also liked looking at the various products from the J.O. Spice Company. I come from a family of commercial crabbers and this might come as a shock to some but JO, not Old Bay, is our preferred crab seasoning. But J.O. isn't just for crabs and they offer spice blends and other stuff like chicken rubs, crab cake mixes and steamed shrimp seasoning. Aside from the above, I also enjoyed looking at cards, soaps, Scout bags, novelty salt and pepper shakers and such. The employee, perhaps the owner, was friendly and welcoming as most people are in this quaint town nestled along side the Miles River. This was definitely a fun stop!

It is at the end of the shopping area on the main drag of N. Talbot Street but should not be overlooked! My husband and I visited several years ago and I am now the proud owner of a beautiful Seacret Oyster can that transports me back in time to when oyster harvesting and packing was such a big business in Maryland that many cities were built upon the shucked shells! On my most recent visit I was checking out the selection of oyster plates and some cool croquet clubs and balls. The store is packed so there is a lot to take in. The owner is always friendly and conversational but not overbearing. She takes great pride in what she has in store and is glad to share her knowledge about it.
