Such an amazing place to explore and to shop. We discovered it on Wednesday (12/06/17), having never stopped in Phoenixville, PA before. It's one of those rare shops that lures you in with unique and inviting views through its front store windows. And once inside, every corner, every space offers something to inspire and delight. From artisan ceramics, paintings, jewelry –– to robot sculptures of found objects and books on local history –– there's literally something for everyone in this modern-day "curiosity shoppe."

It is chock full of unique, hand-crafted items, predominantly from local artisans. Jewelry, clothing, decor, games, it goes on & on. You really want to take your time and go around the store at least a couple of times, because each time you see something new. On this visit, it was not until the third lap around that we spotted the PERFECT gift....which we didn't see the first two times just because there is SO much to see! The staff is incredibly friendly and willing to answer questions and engage with customers. Such a fun place to explore and if you are looking for something unique, especially for the person who seems to have everything, you have to check...
