Sadly, the clerks at the front desk made our visit a very unpleasant experience. They questioned a previously very obvious price once they had removed the tag, suggest a $40 item was $8 higher after having damaged the tag in taking it off; leaving us feeling very much as though they were saying we were being dishonest. The price was not so much the issue as the principle.

The owner is five stars and although I'm a little disappointed that it's been discovered, I'm glad for them and I hope they do amazing. It's worth a trip from...

I would rate this place five stars on selection and two stars on price. There are many vendors under one roof, as is common. There is more ephemera, decor, decorative items, and whimsical items on offer here than the the other similar place, Antiques at The cove. Unfortunately, since the vendors here have to make their rent payment, they want a big profit on every piece. So prices are too high across the board. If I was a decorator shopping on an expense account, for a rich couple that had just bought a new Cape house and wanted a bunch of whimsical decor, I could go to town here!!!! .
