I could have spent a couple of hours in this beautiful store. I wish I had had more time! I picked up some perfume oil and a couple of earrings. The owner was a very nice gentleman. I will definitely go back ... saw a lot of tops I'd like to purchase.

Owner Response

Thank you Cindy for your kind words. I am so glad you enjoyed your visit! See you again.

I lived in Kent for years and this is, hands down, the best shop in town. There is always an interesting assortment of jewelry, home decor, clothing, and other fun items that you will not find anywhere else in this country. The prices are generally quite reasonable for what is offered, as well, especially for a store in Kent. If you're in town, definitely stop in; if you're not, I suggest making the trip anyway, you won't be disappointed.

Owner Response

Thank you so much Catherine. We very much appreciate you!
