I was visiting a close friend on the Cape and she told me we had to visit her new favorite store. Considering she's traveled the world, I knew her standards were high to be her favorite.
From the moment I walked in, I understood why she is so passionate about this little shop in Sandwich. I would expect to find something like this in Chatham or on Nantucket, but I had just been to both places during my trip before meeting up with my friend and there's nothing like it. Great products I hadn't t seen anywhere else and so whimsically merchandised that I just had to look at everything. We were there for an hour in a shop the size of a one room cottage. I found the perfect host gift for my friend, but this place has things for almost everyone at affordable price points.
One thing this store is not, is your traditional Cape Cod gift shop. I was sad to see the Christmas Tree shops finally close, but this is not the place if you are looking for faux antique signs that say "beach house" or 20 different versions of a T-shirt that all say Cape Cod. This is where you find clever, thoughtful things for people you care about (including yourself!).
While I was there, my friend and I took our picture in front of the "Buoy Wall" and this will be going in a frame in each of our houses. Can't say enough nice things about this store or the delightful owner (sorry, I forgot her name in all the excitement about the store). read more
