Eclectic, unique store. Small toy section. Quirky books and journals. Unique kitchen and home pieces. Also a nice selection of yarn, sewing and felting materials. Last time I was there I saw white porcelain shot glasses designed to stack and look like a totem pole, knit scrubbies in the shape of a fish, and socks with swear words on them! A nice place to pick up a souvenir.
