They carry everything from clothing to jewelry to bags and accessories, a really nice wide range of items in a variety of sizes.

They carry so many colors and styles to choose from. This would be a great place to go shopping for a gift for that someone special. Like my mom, who always loves a new handbag.

Mila, the current owner, is also one of the kindest women I've ever met.

They carry all my favorite lines including Simon Pearce and Vietri. I stop by the store at least once a week and there is always something new. Honestly, the hardest thing is walking out without buying everything! Can't say enough wonderful things about this shop. If you are in Fairhaven it's a MUST visit!!

We love to see a bookstore thriving!! This is so much more than just a bookstore (and adjoining…read morepaper/confectionery/novelty shop). Its a community hub! I recently moved to Bellingham and Village Books (and paper dreams) actually really swayed me to move here. Its a book palace, 3 stories of well organized selection. The front facing books are well chosen, and the used books are interspersed with the new books. There are quite a few staff picks sections, all of which are super interesting and worth looking over. Three days before Christmas 2025 I was there trying to pick out a horror book for a friend of mine. Horror is not my genre (more of a fantasy and literature gal myself), so I for sure needed guidance. The shop lady spent so much time reviewing the whole horror section with me . When we couldn't find the main book we decided on me buying, she spent the time looking everywhere for it. She enlisted the help of two additional staff members. When she was needed for another task, she made sure one of the other shop ladies had me covered. I ended up ordering the book, which came in a few days and they texted me when it arrived. Easy peasy! I will never forget that experince, especially as the store was jam packed with x-mas shoppers. Village books in fairhaven is the spot! My only note is that their bookclubs could be better. The bookclubs are during the day and don't have different genre selections (they are mostly nonfiction). There is a silent reading bookclub that I might try. They could be cultivating different types of communities (ie book clubs geared towards romantasy, sci-fi, literature, etc.), but maybe that will come with time.

This store seemingly has it all; great selection of books, both knew and used, lots of old wood, and a staff that seems knowledgeable if a little bit unhappy. The last part can explain why the vibe is just off. It just doesn't feel comfortable nor welcoming, and if I had to put my finger on the cause, I would say it is likely due to management. I witnessed firsthand how the store manager ignored customers in line waiting to pay because he was on the phone. You never ignore the customers who are right in front of you. I wish the store all the best, but I'm gonna take my book shopping business elsewhere.

You can find decor for your home, walls, kitchen, or self here. They feature many different types of artists and cater to many different personal aesthetics. They also have classes where you can create some of your own art!

The store also carries shoes, kids' items, a few home decor items, and boasts Scandinavian baked goods too! It's tiny, and the prices are a little on the high end, but Scandi fits in perfectly with the Fairhaven vibe.

I would have purchased everything in here if the wallet was a bit heavier. It is pretty pricey, but everything is beautifully made.

Everything is vibrantly colored, whimsical, and awe-inspiring. The displays are expertly assembled because I found myself wanting one of everything - flooded with so many ideas of how I'd display each of the pieces in my home or garden. Make sure you don't miss the sculpture garden. As you head out the door, turn left and make the loop downhill and around the entire garden space. You'll cross bridges, walk through little nooks and crannies, and feel like you've been transported to an enchanted dreamscape. There is a wide variety of art here, with pieces in every price range. Even the grand sculptures and large works of art seem to be reasonably priced - the issue will be transporting all of your finds home safely. Many of the sculptures are quite large and have intricate pieces, but don't worry, the staff can easily accomodate your shipping and transport needs. If you are visiting Chuckanut Drive, make sure you don't miss this wonderful gallery!
