We then came to Back Porch and it was next door to another shop. To be conpletely honest, we walked in and it was completely dead in the stire aside from three people seated at a table and talking. It was a bit awkward becuse they looked over at us and just stared. They then continued quietly talking. I walked around inside and I did not really see anything that caught my eye. I did see an interesting vase but it seemed a bit overpriced. We did not stay long in the shop and decided to walk over next door. I just felt like the atmosphere in this shop was a lot different than the other shops. Im sure they have a lot of nice items and I would come in to look again.
