I have gone into Four Winds for almost a decade, admiring the friendship baskets. They have shared…read moreso much history with me regarding the baskets and the basket makers, always being so kind despite them knowing I wasn't in a place yet where I could buy my own. It was always about the love and appreciation for the craft and the island. This past summer I unexpectedly purchased my first basket. Everyone in the store was so kind, letting me try on different sizes, explore different finishes, and discussing the wait time and customizations. It was truly a dream come true to finally purchase one from a place that first ignited my interest in these special pieces of wearable art and history. Cannot say enough of how wonderful my experience has been over the years and I cannot wait to get my first ever friendship basket!

Four Winds is hands down my favorite souvenir store in Nantucket. There are so many things to…read morechoose from with a range of prices. Items include lots of home items - like signs and coasters - and accessories and other classic beach stuff.

Where this spot shines is the home goods - wooden duck decoys, brass candlesticks, baskets... if those old types of things are your jam, this is your spot. They also sell: old books, beach chairs, furniture, limited jewelry, coolers, kitchen items from silverware to coffee makers and everything in between. Overall, a Nantucket gem. PS: I turned my back at the register to try on some earrings and answer a question some ladies had about my dress and some tourist took a broach right out of my pile (it was very clear that it was taken). They were sneaky and not the vibe. Don't be that person.

If you take an early boat over, we usually grab the 9:05 from Hyannis and that gives us plenty of time to walk through. Watch your step and footing. The roads are cobble stone and very hard, uneven and unforgiving. People tend to get a little pushy-shovey and the it's densely packed. Crafts, art, food stuff (honey, spices, etc.), and farm fresh vegetables grown on island when seasonable. It's great, but we've never bought any vegetables as we'd have to carry them all day. That said, it is still a fun time. Keep it local!

Since writing my review yesterday of the North Star glass gallery, I have not been able to stop…read morethinking of a quaint little gift shop that I have visited many times in Nantucket because the beautiful and colorful glass is what first drew me inside. Through the years I have collected many things, from antiques to sports memorabilia with Norman Rockwell in between, enough so that I could probably open my own shop. Call me a pack rat, if you will, but my fascination with glass catches every one's eyes. I once had a comment from a visitor coming along as a date with our male friend and he commented on my paperweight collection and she said, oh you can buy those at Target, Ha! I buy nothing unless it is signed or marked and if it has papers, all the better. It is here at the Beach Glass of Nantucket that I bought my one and only extra large "paperweight". It measures 11" wide by 10" tall and 4' deep and is the most gorgeous sunset scene! It weighs a ton and they would have shipped it for me to Pennsylvania, but I decided I would rather get it home myself. While we spent the day touring the island and having lunch, they went out of their way to package it safely. The artist is well known and it is Murano glass and from Oggetti, Italy. I paid $1,500.00 and the artist passed away shortly after, probably because he heard how much I paid for the piece, just kidding. I have it sitting in a downstairs window that catches a lot of light with my dozen and a half smaller paperweights surrounding it. Good glass paperweights are a real work of art to me because of the pain staking details they bring together to make gorgeous flowers and beautiful scenes. This shop does sell a lot of glass, some of it is cheap, so you do have to look. They have the coolest note cards decorated beautifully by local artists. They also have local artisans who hand craft jewelry and artists who paint beautiful scenes on glass goblets and flower vases. The shop is small but loaded with gems, you just have to take the time to look. Nantucket is like stepping back in time... Until you see the prices. Not wheelchair accessible.

If you like a good bookstore this one should not be missed. I recently visited after a few year hiatus and loved to see how much it has stayed the same, but also evolved. First, the greeting cards have always been and are still the best selection. I love a good card and they truly have such unique ones that fit any life event or just because; they ring from funny to inspirational, to comforting and artistic. They also have a great selection of journals (my angsty teenage self filled up a few purchased here) and most recently I perused an incredible array of gourmet Italian chocolates and other fun dessert centric goodies. They have fun and artsy bags and hats, to art supplies and kids gifts... not just books. The kids nook is so sweet. Overall, such a great store that is so much more than books. It has stood the test of time. We bought a kids book about Nantucket for our toddler and we're excited for it as a keepsake.
