Unassuming from the outside, when we entered we found a delightful, charming and beautifully-curated collection of home decor, hand-dipped candles, nautical-themed tchotchkes, original and lithograph wall art, and other such items, most of which are crafted locally. We were also impressed with the friendly and knowledgeable staff. We spent more than a few dollars here buying knick-knacks and gifts. The only problem now will be getting it back home to Kansas! Totally worth stopping in of you're in New Bedford!

I went during a weekend mid day and parking was pretty easy in the area.

They have good prices for quality items like those pictures with calming and comedic sayings that you hang in your kitchen, willow tree sculptures, and sometime half priced candles. I bought a mini Birthday card for my friend for only 50 cents! The Christmas section of the store was all half off because of it being September, and was very..very...Christmas-y. Many large and home-y gems like metallic bird baths, major dolls, and rocking chairs lined the back room. This place may not be for my generation, but If your shopping for your elders, preferably from 35-100, this is the place to go for gift time.

Very nice items however whenever I go to the yearly yard sales, last year they overcharged me and…read morethis year the boy working outdoors started adding my items in his head and out load and started the first item at $27, and the marked price was $10. I was already overcharged $17 as he continued adding up items. I stopped him, and instead I handed him the items and I counted the amounts with him so I didn't get ripped off. Then a female worker acted as she didn't trust me, so she added everything up again ( which I was fine and happy about) and she came up with the same amount I did. I am a middle aged educated adult who wouldn't rip them off. They do not provide a slip or write anything up so it's really hard to catch them overcharging. I love her items, just be careful with outdoor sales. This is the last yard sale at the New Bedford location, she is now in Dartmouth, Ma. Also, depending on who you are and what you look like, I saw a white woman being charged more for the same items and then charged to minorities at a lesser price. When questioned, the owner said everything should be priced, and these items were not. A white girl was charged $4 more than a minority woman purchasing the same item. I feel the white girl was treated unfairly. I was in disbelief, and wouldn't believe a minority owner would be prejudice had I not seen it with my own eyes. Being that the owner is very religious, she would be the last person that you would suspect. Not right!
