The Scene
The unique objects for sale are as colorful as the space they're displayed in. Browsing through the wide array of goodies is a bit like searching for hidden treasure. Merchandise is arranged hanging, on tables or in display cases. The friendly staff is happy to make suggestions, or point out unusual items.

The Goods
Purses and bags are made by local, U.S. and European designers, including Diesel, Jack Spade, Village Tannery and Kenneth Cole. Jewelry made by the likes of Patricia Locke, Melissa Muszynski, Alto Jewelry and Nakamol Rodrin in trendy designs incorporates sterling silver, amber, pearls, amethyst and other semi-precious stones. Susan Fitch and Jack Spade are popular picks for bags. But, if bags and jewelry aren't your thing, shop for handmade stuffed animals made of leather and suede, hats, candles, home accessories, frames, bath and body products, belts, watches for men and women, wallets, organizers, cigar holders and more.
